Example Workflow
User: "Help me build an ICP based on my best customers"
Claude:
1. Ask for customer LinkedIn URLs
2. Collect data using AnySite MCP tools
3. Analyze patterns across all profiles
4. Generate ICP document with scoring model
5. Optionally: Search for lookalike prospects
6. Output: ICP report + prospect list
Best Practices
- Minimum Sample Size: Analyze at least 5 customers for reliable patterns
- Mix of Data: Include both "best" customers and "average" ones for contrast
- Regular Updates: Refresh ICP quarterly as customer base evolves
- Validate with Sales: Cross-check patterns with sales team knowledge
- Iterate: Start broad, narrow down based on conversion data
Integration with AnySite Tools
This skill leverages these AnySite MCP capabilities:
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|
get_linkedin_profile | Full profile extraction |
get_linkedin_company | Company details |
get_linkedin_company_employees | Find key contacts |
get_linkedin_company_employee_stats | Org structure |
get_linkedin_user_posts | Activity analysis |
get_linkedin_user_experience | Career history |
search_linkedin_users | Find lookalikes |
search_linkedin_companies | Discover targets |
Troubleshooting
Issue: Not enough data for pattern analysis
Solution: Request more customer URLs or include adjacent customers
Issue: Patterns too broad/generic
Solution: Focus on "best" customers only (highest ACV, fastest close)
Issue: No prospects found matching criteria
Solution: Relax secondary criteria, expand geography, broaden industries
