Enterprise Lead Generation Workflow
This workflow helps you generate targeted B2B leads for exporting a specific product to a chosen country. It produces a detailed market report, identifies niche buyer categories, and compiles company contacts into a structured spreadsheet.
It accomplishes the following:
- Triggers when you provide target country and export product inputs.
- Generates a high-level market report and defines 10 distinct sub-niches for lead searching.
- Creates a Google Spreadsheet with an import report tab and adds market data.
- Breaks down the 10 niches into individual tasks.
- Searches the web to find exactly 10 relevant companies per niche and gathers their contact details.
- Alerts your team on Slack once the list is complete and ready for outreach.
What You Need
- A Needle platform account with access to AI and control nodes.
- A Google Sheets account connected via the platform's Google Sheets connector.
- A Slack workspace connected if you want completion notifications.
