How to make your prospecting process better than 99% of companies, and actually find your ideal client in <30min

Steal the process we've built after running B2B marketing for the past 10 years, and find your ideal client.

Step 1: Prepping your audience

To get things going, you need to have your audience defined. Use this CustomGPT and tell it the product and offer you have. https://chatgpt.com/g/g-69b2651169348191876a06c801a8128f-icp-mapper-from-offer

For us to continue, you need to have your ICP scoped. 

This would mean:

  • Role
  • Industry
  • Headcount of company
  • Location
  • …and other details that would benefit and make it easier to search.
Once you have all of that, get on to step 2.

Step 2: Building the search on LinkedIn

LinkedIn is the default and go-to platform in finding your audience.

Even if your audience isn't hanging around on LinkedIn, I'd still start here.

So what we'll do is go through how to search, find and extract your audience for free using LinkedIn + Google Chrome Extensions we've built for you to get for free.

Yes no more paying for an extension that doesn't do what it's supposed to do.

One thing you need to know, getting a Sales Navigator premium account on LinkedIn is worth it. If you don't have one, you can still do the search and find your audience - but Sales Navigator allows way more narrowing and filtering.

Below is a more detailed description of doing searches in both cases on LinkedIn.

PS. Remember that best way to get the most out of the searches on LinkedIn is to run the qualification flow after.

Regular LinkedIn searches

With regular LinkedIn profile you can use the regular lead search LinkedIn has. 

Then you have these filters available to you: 

  • Connection: 1st, 2nd, 3rd+
  • Locations
  • Current companies
  • Connections of…
  • Past companies
  • Schools
  • Industries
  • Profile languages
  • Service categories
  • Keywords (first name, last name, title, company, school)
  • Boolean search input (AND, OR, NOT)

Most of these are self explanatory, except for Boolean searches. A boolean search is where you add filters to the "input" field for your search.

Boolean search on LinkedIn lets you control who shows up in search by combining keywords with operators like AND, OR, NOT, quotes, and parentheses. 

For example, you can find growth leaders with: "head of growth" AND SaaS AND (founder OR "VP marketing"). 
To exclude agencies you might use: ("demand generation" OR "performance marketing") AND B2B NOT agency NOT freelance. 
If you only want profiles with a specific title phrase, use quotes: "chief revenue officer" AND SaaS. 

You can also target geography or company type with extra terms, for example: "sales director" AND "account-based marketing" AND ("Series B" OR "Series C") AND Europe.

Using this correctly will make both your regular searches and Sales navigator searches 10X better.

Sales Navigator

To truly get the most out of your search for prospects on LinkedIn, the Sales Navigator premium subscription is highly recommended.

It allows you to filter far more narrow and niche than regular profiles.

You'll have additional and new filters at your disposal:

  • Current company
  • Company headcount
  • Company headquarters location
  • Function
  • Current job title
  • Seniority level
  • Years in current company
  • Years in current position
  • Geography
  • Industry
  • Profile language
  • Years of experience
  • Groups
  • School
  • Following your company
  • Viewed your profile recently
  • Changed jobs
  • Posted on LinkedIn (this is super interesting as you can see % active of all your audience)
  • Boolean search input (AND, OR, NOT)
My main recommendation when it comes to creating the Sales Navigator searches, is use headcount, industry, posted on LinkedIn, and years of experience (depending on what you're looking for). You should also look at a way to 3 tier your searches.
  • Tier 1: Key decision makers with signatory rights and purchase power
  • Tier 2: Supporting and other involved parties
  • Tier 3: Non decision makers who can become internal champions in the company you want to sell
If you build prospect lists for each of these, and use our extension to extract them, you can easily build campaigns targeting each of the tiers.

Download the Chrome Extensions to extract form LinkedIn

We've made two Chrome extensions for you to more easily extract and scrape your audience off of LinkedIn, instead of marking, copy-pasting all day long. You can download them below 👇

Step 3: Sending leads to N8N for filtering and qualification

Amazing, now you got the leads extracted. 

Now it's qualifying them.

To help you with this process, we've built a very simple process in N8N which you can import and use in under 5 minutes.

For the N8N template, you need to take your ICP definition you received in your previous Christmas Calendar gift (yesterday day 2), and input that into the N8N node called "QUALIFICATION". 

You can also use this CustomGPT to help you create the ICP Matching spec. https://chatgpt.com/g/g-69033f23b37081919f4fb845b9d1d7e9-icp-matching-model-builder

You will also need an Open Router API key which we use in the N8N template to leverage AI to do our qualification for us. There is a button to the tutorial for that below as well.

Info: The tool used to enrich leads to be able to qualify them is shared inside the N8N flow.

Step 4: Turn this into the 10-20% bump in sales performance

Now you have a way to find leads, extract them, and qualify them.

But there are ways to level this up further. 

We built a proprietary system that will take this up a further.

Where you automate the entire process.
