explorium-sales-prospecting_skill

Overview

This skill helps SDRs, AEs, and GTM teams find and qualify B2B prospects quickly. It searches 200M+ companies and contacts by industry, size, tech stack, location, and job title, and returns verified emails and phone numbers. Use it to build targeted outbound lists with buying-intent and growth signals for export to CSV.

How this skill works

The agent maps an Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) and buyer persona to API filters, runs autocomplete for ambiguous fields, performs market sizing and sample fetches, and then executes full fetches and enrichments via the agentsource CLI. Results are written to temporary files, presented as samples for user confirmation, and can be enriched with contact information, firmographics, technographics, and event signals before exporting to CSV.

When to use it

• When you need a targeted list of decision-makers for outbound campaigns
• To validate market sizing and estimate credit cost before bulk fetches
• When you want verified emails and phone numbers for outreach
• To find companies showing buying intent or recent growth events
• To enrich an existing CSV of companies or contacts with contact data and firmographics

Best practices

• Define a clear ICP (industry, company size, geography, tech stack, intent) before searching
• Always run autocomplete for fields like job_title, linkedin_category, and intent topics to avoid validation errors
• Present a small sample (5–10 rows) and confirm before bulk fetching to control credits
• Specify desired output (contacts only, companies only, or both) and whether you want emails/phones prior to enrichment
• Handle API errors by checking error_code and following recommended retry or auth steps

Example use cases

• Build a 500-contact list of VP-level marketing leaders at US SaaS firms using Salesforce and AWS
• Find engineering decision-makers at companies that recently raised funding in the past 90 days
• Enrich an existing CSV of target accounts with verified contact emails and firmographic data for CRM import
• Run a market-size query to estimate addressable prospects before budget allocation
• Target companies actively searching for CRM solutions using buying-intent topic filters
