    Prospecting

    The activity of researching accounts and reaching new potential buyers.

    Definition

    Prospecting is the day to day work of finding, researching, and reaching out to potential buyers who do not yet know you.

    Want booked sales meetings on your calendar?

    Month to month. Scoped on a 20 minute call.

    Why it matters

    Prospecting is the top of the funnel. Without it, everything downstream dries up in 60 to 90 days.

    How it works

    • Research target accounts and personas
    • Build a list and enrich contact data
    • Run cadences across call, email, and LinkedIn
    • Book meetings and hand off to the closer
