The problem

Most account lists are a directory export. The useful ones have a reason for every company on them: a raise, a hire, a launch, a job ad that names your problem.

How your agent runs it

  1. Gathers candidates from several kinds of source before going deep on any one, so the list is not one directory's list.
  2. For every company records the name, domain, size, what it sells and to whom, and the buying signal that put it there, with the URL and date.
  3. Scores each one out of 100 against your brief and writes one sentence on why.
  4. Saves each company to your Companies table the moment it makes the cut, where outreach plays start from.
  5. Finishes with the list sorted by score and the rejections counted and explained.

What you tell it

What counts as done

  • 40 qualified people actually reached, with verified contact evidence. A list or draft alone does not satisfy this goal.
