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

1. Minimum Sample Size: Analyze at least 5 customers for reliable patterns
2. Mix of Data: Include both "best" customers and "average" ones for contrast
3. Regular Updates: Refresh ICP quarterly as customer base evolves
4. Validate with Sales: Cross-check patterns with sales team knowledge
5. 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

---

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
