AI Prospecting

Prospecting starts with a clear picture of the organizations and people you can help. AI can assist with account research, enrichment, and preparing an outreach angle, but a long list of contacts is not the same as a qualified opportunity. Define your target account criteria before choosing a tool. Separate evidence about the account from an agent's inference, and keep your team responsible for the decision to contact someone. This workflow focuses on discovering and researching prospects; sales forecasting estimates revenue outcomes and remains a separate use case.

A practical workflow

1. Write the account criteria, exclusions, and signals that justify a closer look.
2. Gather permitted business information and record the source and date for important signals.
3. Review a small sample for relevance before expanding the research.
4. Prepare outreach around an actual reason to speak, with review controls appropriate to your team.
5. Track replies and qualified conversations, then refine the criteria.

What to compare

• Measure account-fit accuracy and the freshness of contact data.
• Check whether enrichment, sending, and CRM changes are separate actions with clear controls.
• Inspect factual personalization and remove unsupported claims.
• Compare the cost per qualified conversation, including human review, rather than only contacts generated.
