Examples
Example 1: Researching a List of Target Companies
Your team has built a list of fifteen companies you want to win as clients. You have their websites but no contacts. You want named decision-makers with real email addresses you can act on.
Step 1: Upload the list. You open the Prospecting page and drop in a spreadsheet with one company domain per row, plus a column with each company's name. You click Upload Domains. All fifteen companies appear in the Domain Queue marked Pending.
Step 2: Prospector works the list. Over the next while, the companies move from Pending to Processing to Done, a few at a time. You do not wait at the screen; you close the tab and come back later. When you return, most rows read Done, each with a contact count, and one reads Failed because that company's domain did not resolve. The other fourteen are unaffected.
Step 3: Open a company. You click into a company that found four contacts. The table shows them ranked, with the decision-makers flagged:
- The founder and CEO, with a verified work email (confidence: high) and a LinkedIn profile.
- The head of marketing, with a verified email (confidence: high) and a phone number.
- A general manager, with a guessed email clearly labeled as guessed (confidence: medium).
- An office contact, no decision-maker flag, with a guessed email (confidence: low).
Step 4: Decide who to pursue. You prioritize the two high-confidence, verified decision-makers for outreach and set the guessed-email contacts aside to confirm later. Because the guessed emails are labeled, you never mistake one for a verified address. Prospector does not send anything for you; it has handed you the research, and the next move is yours.
Example 2: Reading an Auto-Written Meeting Brief Before a Call
You have a discovery call tomorrow morning with a prospect you added to Prospector last week. You want to walk in prepared rather than scrambling beforehand.
Step 1: The brief appears on its own. You did not request anything. Because the prospect is one Prospector tracks and the meeting is on your calendar, a prep brief was prepared ahead of time. The evening before the call, you open the Prospecting page and see it waiting in the "Upcoming Meeting Briefs" area.
Step 2: Read who they are. You click the brief. The top line names the person and their company and states the outcome to drive toward in the meeting. A short section synthesizes who they are: their role, what their company does, and the most relevant recent signals, a new product launch and a recent hire, all drawn from public sources.
Step 3: Review the rest of the brief. The brief continues:
- Why they fit: two bullets tying concrete facts about the prospect to reasons they fit your services.
- Talking points: four specific points to land, each grounded in your positioning.
- Discovery questions: five open questions to surface their goals, budget, timeline, who signs off, and whether they work with another agency today.
- Likely objections: two objections you may hear, each paired with an honest counter.
- Recommended next step: one sentence naming the concrete next action to aim for, a scoped follow-up proposal.
Step 4: Walk in ready. You skim the brief over coffee and bring the discovery questions into the call. Nothing in the brief was sent or acted on automatically; it prepared you, and you ran the meeting.
Example 3: Pasting a Few Domains for a Quick Look
A teammate mentions two companies worth a closer look. You do not have a spreadsheet; you just want to see who is there.
Step 1: Paste the domains. On the Prospecting page you paste the two company domains into the box and click Upload Domains. Both appear in the Domain Queue as Pending.
Step 2: Watch them finish. Within a short while both reach Done. One found three contacts; the other found one. You open the first and see a decision-maker flagged at the top with a verified email and high confidence.
Step 3: Keep what is useful. You note the strong contact for follow-up and move on. The record is now tracked, so Prospector will re-check it on its own and keep your CRM current as things change. You did not have to schedule anything; adding the domain was enough.
