What It Does

Enter a target role, industry, and location — this workflow searches LinkedIn and the web, then delivers a formatted prospect list of 20 qualified leads to your Gmail, complete with fit analysis and a recommended outreach angle.

Why It Matters

Building a prospect list manually means opening LinkedIn, searching, clicking profiles one by one, copying names and titles into a spreadsheet, and trying to remember why each person was relevant by the time you get to outreach. That process takes 2–4 hours for a list of 20 and produces inconsistent quality. This workflow replaces all of that — it searches LinkedIn People results, cross-references Google, AngelList, and Crunchbase, and delivers a structured, prioritised prospect list in minutes, directly to your inbox.

How It Works

  1. Manual Trigger — Enter your target role, industry, location, and an optional ICP filter (e.g. company size, funding stage, tech stack).
  2. AI Agent — Searches LinkedIn People results and Google site:linkedin.com/in queries, cross-references company data from public sources, and builds a ranked prospect table.
  3. Gmail — Delivers the full prospect list as a formatted HTML email with the role and industry in the subject line.

Who It's For

  • Sales reps and BDRs building targeted outbound lists for a specific ICP
  • Founders doing manual outbound to early customers or partners
  • Recruiters sourcing passive candidates by role and location
  • Account executives preparing for a new territory or vertical

Setup

  1. Connect your Gmail account when prompted.
  2. Run the workflow with your target criteria (role, industry, location, and optional ICP filter).
  3. The prospect list lands in your Gmail — copy it into your CRM or outreach tool.

Customisation Ideas

  • Change the list size — Edit the AI agent's system prompt to request 10 or 30 prospects instead of 20.
  • Add a tech stack filter — Include details like "uses Salesforce" or "React stack" in the ICP note field for more targeted results.
  • Swap the delivery channel — Replace Gmail with Slack to send the list directly to your sales team channel.
