Champion Tracker

Track former champions from closed-won HubSpot deals who have moved to new companies, research their new organizations, and generate warm re-engagement outreach leveraging your shared deal history.

Instructions

When a user wants to find former champions who have moved to new companies, pull closed-won deal data from HubSpot, enrich contacts to detect job changes, research the new companies, and produce re-engagement materials.

Steps

1. Gather tracking parameters by asking the user:

   (a) "What timeframe of closed-won deals should I check?" Offer options:

   • Last 6 months (most likely to have recent moves)
   • Last 12 months (balanced coverage)
   • Last 24 months (broadest, more moves expected but older relationships)
   • All time

   (b) "Any specific accounts to focus on?" Accept:

   • Specific company names
   • "All closed-won deals"
   • "My top 20 customers by deal value"

   (c) "What product or solution did you sell?" This context is used to tailor re-engagement outreach at the new company, e.g., "We helped [previous company] with [solution], and I think [new company] could benefit similarly."

2. Retrieve the current user's identity by calling mcp__claude_ai_HubSpot__get_user_details to get the authenticated user's name, email, and HubSpot user ID. This is used for owner-based filtering and to personalize the outreach voice.

3. Search for closed-won deals by calling mcp__claude_ai_HubSpot__search_crm_objects with:

   • object_type: "deals"
   • filter_groups: Build filters for:
     • dealstage equals the closed-won stage ID (typically "closedwon")
     • closedate is after the start of the user's timeframe
     • hubspot_owner_id matches the user (if filtering to "my deals")
   • properties: ["dealname", "amount", "dealstage", "pipeline", "hubspot_owner_id", "closedate", "createdate"]
   • sorts: [{"propertyName": "amount", "direction": "DESCENDING"}]
   • associations: ["contacts", "companies"]
   • limit: 50

4. Retrieve associated contacts by calling mcp__claude_ai_HubSpot__get_crm_objects with:

   • object_type: "contacts"
   • object_ids: contact IDs associated with the closed-won deals
   • properties: ["firstname", "lastname", "email", "jobtitle", "company", "phone", "linkedin_url", "hs_lead_status"]

   Also retrieve company data to establish the baseline company for comparison:

   • object_type: "companies"
   • object_ids: company IDs from the deals
   • properties: ["name", "domain", "industry", "numberofemployees"]

5. Resolve deal owners by calling mcp__claude_ai_HubSpot__search_owners with the hubspot_owner_id values to map owner IDs to names.

6. Enrich contacts to detect job changes by calling mcp__claude_ai_Amplemarket__enrich_person for each contact from the closed-won deals:

   • Use email or linkedin_url from the HubSpot contact record
   • Set reveal_email: true to get their current email at the new company
   • Limit to 20-25 contacts per batch to manage credit usage

   For each contact, compare:

   • Enriched current company vs HubSpot company record (the company where the deal was closed)
   • Normalize company names (strip Inc., LLC, etc.) and compare domains
   • Classify each contact as: Moved to New Company, Still at Customer, Internal Move, or Unable to Determine

7. For contacts who moved, research the new company by calling mcp__claude_ai_Amplemarket__enrich_company with the new company's domain:

   • Extract firmographics: size, industry, funding, tech stack, headquarters
   • Assess ICP fit: does the new company match your target profile?
   • Note: if the new company is a competitor, existing customer, or known disqualified account, flag this

   Then call WebSearch for recent company news:

   • Query: "[New Company Name] news [current year]"
   • Look for: funding, growth, product launches, challenges, anything that creates a conversation opener

8. Find additional stakeholders at new companies by calling mcp__claude_ai_Amplemarket__search_people at each new company:

   • company_domains: [new company domain]
   • person_seniorities: ["C-Suite", "VP", "Director"] or matching your ICP
   • full_output: true
   • page_size: 5
   • Identify potential multi-threading targets alongside the moved champion

9. Generate re-engagement materials. For each moved champion:

   • Populate all {{champion_*}} dynamic fields
   • Draft a warm re-engagement message that:
     • Congratulates them on the move
     • References the shared deal history (what you accomplished together at the previous company)
     • Connects your solution to the new company's needs
     • Suggests a casual reconnection (not a hard pitch)
   • Tailor the tone: these are warm relationships, not cold outreach

10. Present the champion tracking report with:

• Executive summary: total contacts checked, job changes detected, new companies identified, ICP matches
• Job change table with all dynamic fields for moved champions
• New company profiles with ICP fit assessment
• Per-champion re-engagement strategy and suggested openers
• Champions still at customer (for retention/upsell awareness)
• Offer to create an Amplemarket lead list with the moved champions

Important Notes

• Champion tracking is the highest-ROI outbound motion. Former champions who know and trust your product convert at 3-5x the rate of cold outreach. Emphasize this in the output.
• Limit enrich_person calls to 20-25 contacts per run. For large customer bases, offer to batch: "I found X contacts across your closed-won deals. Shall I check the first 25 for job changes?"
• When a champion has moved to a new company, their previous experience with your product is your biggest asset. Always reference the shared history in suggested openers.
• If a champion moved to one of your existing customer accounts, flag this as a retention/expansion opportunity rather than a new deal opportunity.
• If a champion moved to a known competitor, flag but do not suggest outreach. This requires a different strategy.
• Very recent job changes (within 1-2 weeks) may not be captured in enrichment data. Suggest the user verify via LinkedIn for suspected recent moves.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Solution
No closed-won deals found	Fallback chain: 1) Extend the timeframe to 24 months or "all time". 2) Remove the owner filter to check across all reps. 3) Verify the closed-won stage ID by calling mcp__claude_ai_HubSpot__search_properties with query: "dealstage". Some HubSpot accounts use custom win stages.
Contact enrichment returns the same company	This means the champion is still at the customer company. Classify as "Still at Customer" and include in the retention section. This is actually positive, as it means your champion is still an advocate.
Champion moved to an existing customer	Flag as an expansion opportunity, not a new deal. Note: "[Champion] moved to [Company], which is already a customer. This could be a cross-sell or upsell opportunity." Do not treat this as net-new outreach.
Champion moved to a competitor	Flag separately: "[Champion] moved to [Competitor]. This requires a different engagement strategy, as they may have insights but outreach should be handled carefully." Do not include in standard re-engagement.
Too many contacts to enrich	Offer to prioritize: "I found X contacts across your closed-won deals. Shall I focus on the top 25 by deal value? This will use approximately 25 Amplemarket credits." Process in batches if the user wants a full scan.
Enrichment returns no current data for a contact	Classify as "Unable to Determine." The contact may have left the workforce, started a company, or changed their public profile. Suggest: "Unable to verify current status for [Name]. Check their LinkedIn profile manually."
New company does not match ICP	Still include in the report but mark ICP fit as "Weak" or "No Fit." The champion relationship is valuable even if the company is not ideal, as they may refer you to others or move again to a better-fit company.
WebSearch returns no news about the new company	Set {{champion_new_company_news}} to "No recent public news found." Use the company enrichment data and the champion's role change as the primary outreach angle instead.
Deal context is unclear from HubSpot data	If the deal record lacks context about what was sold or accomplished, ask the user: "Can you share what you accomplished with [Champion] at [Previous Company]? This context makes the re-engagement much more effective."
