Lead Gen Pipeline

Search → Qualify → Enrich → Outreach

Each stage uses existing CLI commands. No new commands are needed.

---

Stage 1 — Discovery (Search)

Find target profiles or companies matching the ideal customer profile (ICP).

# Search for people by role/keyword
python scripts/cli.py search --query "VP of Engineering fintech" --type people

# Search for companies in a vertical
python scripts/cli.py search --query "Series A SaaS startup" --type companies

Output: JSON list of names, headlines, and profile URLs.

---

Stage 2 — Qualification (Profile Enrichment)

Pull full profiles on promising leads to assess fit.

python scripts/cli.py user-profile --username "target-person"
python scripts/cli.py company-profile --company-slug "target-company"

Qualify against:

• Job title and seniority
• Company size / stage
• Location
• Connections in common
• Recent activity / content engagement

---

Stage 3 — Outreach

Connection Request (cold outreach)

# Personalised note (strongly recommended — 300 char max)
cat > /tmp/note.txt << 'EOF'
Hi Sarah, I noticed your work on ML infrastructure at Acme Co. I'd love to connect
and share some thoughts on where the space is heading.
EOF

python scripts/cli.py send-connection \
  --url "https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarah-smith/" \
  --note-file /tmp/note.txt

Direct Message (1st-degree connections only)

cat > /tmp/msg.txt << 'EOF'

Batch Lead Gen Workflow (Example)

# 1. Search for leads
python scripts/cli.py search --query "Head of Product B2B SaaS" --type people > leads.json

# 2. For each lead URL, enrich profile
python scripts/cli.py user-profile --username "lead-username"

# 3. Confirm with user which leads to pursue
# 4. Send personalised outreach
python scripts/cli.py send-connection --url "<profile_url>" --note-file /tmp/note.txt

---

Constraints

• User confirmation required before any outreach action.
• Connection note limit: 300 characters (LinkedIn hard limit).
• Weekly connection limit: LinkedIn caps connection requests (typically ~100/week). Do not exceed 20 per session without user review.
• No spamming: Identical messages sent to multiple people may trigger account restrictions. Always personalise outreach.
• Message only 1st-degree connections: LinkedIn blocks DMs to non-connections unless the user has InMail credits.

---

Checklist

• Define ICP (title, industry, company size, location)
• Run search to build lead list
• Enrich top 10–20 leads with user-profile or company-profile
• Draft personalised connection note (≤300 chars)
• Confirm leads with user before sending any outreach
• Send connection requests in batches of ≤10
• Track accepted connections for follow-up messaging
