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
- Gathers candidates from several kinds of source before going deep on any one, so the list is not one directory's list.
- 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.
- Scores each one out of 100 against your brief and writes one sentence on why.
- Saves each company to your Companies table the moment it makes the cut, where outreach plays start from.
- Finishes with the list sorted by score and the rejections counted and explained.
What you tell it
- What a good account looks like
- For example: Series A-B SaaS, 50-300 people, sells to engineers
- Where (optional)
- For example: US and UK
What counts as done
- 40 qualified people actually reached, with verified contact evidence. A list or draft alone does not satisfy this goal.
