Outbound Prospecting Engine

Build and run a complete outbound prospecting system: signal detection → company research → contact finding → personalization → campaign launch.

When to Use

"Set up outbound prospecting for [client]"
"Build a lead gen engine targeting [ICP]"
"Find and reach out to companies that need [solution]"

Prerequisites

Client context.md with ICP, value props, positioning
Signal keywords (what to monitor for intent)
Approved messaging / email sequences (or generate them)

Steps

1. Define Signal Sources

Based on the client's ICP and motion, select which signals to monitor:

Signal Source	Best For	Skill
Job postings	Companies with allocated budget	job-posting-intent
Funding announcements	Companies with fresh capital	funding-signal-monitor
LinkedIn posts/comments	Practitioners discussing the problem	linkedin-post-research + linkedin-commenter-extractor
Conference attendees	People actively engaged with the space	luma-event-attendees
Competitor customers	Companies already buying similar solutions	competitor-post-engagers

2. Run Signal Detection

Execute selected signal skills with client-specific keywords. Run in parallel.

Output: Raw signal list — companies + signal context.

3. Qualify & Score

Skill: lead-qualification

Filter against ICP criteria. Score each lead:

Multi-signal leads = highest priority
Job posting + funding = strongest intent
Single social mention = lowest (awareness only)

4. Find Decision-Maker Contacts

Skill: company-contact-finder

For top qualified companies, find the specific decision-makers:

Target titles from client's ICP
Get email addresses and LinkedIn URLs

5. Deduplicate

Skill: contact-cache

Check all leads against the contact cache. Add new leads to cache. Skip any that have been contacted before.

6. Personalize Outreach

For each lead, generate personalized email sequence using:

The signal that surfaced them (the "why now")
Their company context (what they do, their pain)
The client's value proposition (how it solves their pain)

7. Launch Campaign

Skill: cold-email-outreach

Set up the outreach campaign in your chosen tool:

Create campaign with name and schedule
Upload lead list
Configure 2-3 email sequence (personalized per lead or per segment)
Allocate mailboxes
Set sending schedule

8. Monitor & Iterate

Track open rates, reply rates, meeting bookings
A/B test subject lines and messaging
Re-run signal detection weekly to add new leads
Update contact cache with outcomes

Ongoing Cadence

Weekly: Re-run signal detection, qualify new leads, add to campaign
Bi-weekly: Review campaign metrics, adjust messaging
Monthly: Review overall pipeline contribution, adjust signal sources

Human Checkpoints
