What Is Prospecting?
Prospecting is the work of identifying and reaching out to potential customers who fit your ICP — the first step in building pipeline. Done well, it's targeted, not random.
What prospecting involves
Researching accounts, finding the right contacts, and opening relevant conversations. It's the top of every sales motion.
Targeted vs spray-and-pray
Effective prospecting starts from a tight ICP and reaches a focused list with relevance. Volume without targeting just burns reputation.

AI now handles much of the research and outreach, so prospecting can be both targeted and high-volume — the motion we run for you.
