ChineseBuild a Targeted Prospect List
构建精准的潜在客户列表
Help the user build a targeted B2B prospect list — from ICP definition through filter strategy, list sizing, segmentation, and quality checks. This skill is platform-agnostic but references Apollo.io as the primary tool. The same frameworks apply to ZoomInfo, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Clay, Lusha, or any data provider.
帮助用户构建精准的B2B潜在客户列表——从理想客户画像(ICP)定义,到筛选策略、列表规模确定、细分以及质量检查。本Skill不绑定特定平台,但以Apollo.io作为主要参考工具。相同的框架也适用于ZoomInfo、LinkedIn Sales Navigator、Clay、Lusha或任何数据提供商。
Step 1 — Gather context
步骤1 — 收集背景信息
Ask the user:
-
Who are you trying to reach?
- A) I have a clear ICP — I know the titles, industries, and company sizes
- B) I have a rough idea — need help refining it
- C) Starting from scratch — help me define who to target
- D) I have an existing list that needs filtering/cleaning
-
What's the campaign goal?
- A) Cold outbound — net-new pipeline generation
- B) ABM — targeted outreach to named accounts
- C) Event follow-up — building a list around a conference/webinar
- D) Expansion — finding new contacts at existing customer accounts
- E) Competitive displacement — targeting competitors' customers
- F) Other — describe it
-
What data provider(s) do you have access to?
- A) Apollo.io
- B) LinkedIn Sales Navigator
- C) ZoomInfo
- D) Clay
- E) Lusha / Cognism / other
- F) Just a CRM with existing data
- G) None yet — recommend one
-
How many prospects do you need? (rough target — 100? 500? 5,000?)
If the user's request already provides most of this context, skip directly to the relevant step. Lead with your best-effort answer using reasonable assumptions (stated explicitly), then ask only the most critical 1-2 clarifying questions at the end — don't gate your response behind gathering complete context.
询问用户:
-
你希望触达哪些人群?
- A) 我有明确的ICP——清楚目标职位、行业和公司规模
- B) 我有大致想法——需要帮助细化
- C) 从零开始——帮我定义目标人群
- D) 我已有列表——需要筛选/清理
-
营销活动的目标是什么?
- A) 冷触达——挖掘全新销售管道
- B) ABM(基于客户的营销)——针对指定客户的精准触达
- C) 活动跟进——围绕会议/网络研讨会构建列表
- D) 客户拓展——在现有客户中寻找新联系人
- E) 竞品客户转化——针对竞品的客户进行触达
- F) 其他——请描述
-
你可以使用哪些数据提供商?
- A) Apollo.io
- B) LinkedIn Sales Navigator
- C) ZoomInfo
- D) Clay
- E) Lusha / Cognism / 其他
- F) 仅拥有包含现有数据的CRM
- G) 还没有——请推荐一个
-
你需要多少个潜在客户?(大致目标——100?500?5000?)
如果用户的请求已提供大部分此类背景信息,可直接跳至相关步骤。 先基于合理假设给出初步回答(需明确说明假设),最后仅询问1-2个最关键的澄清问题——不要要求用户提供完整背景后才给出回应。
Step 2 — Define the ICP
步骤2 — 定义ICP
Build a structured ICP using four dimensions:
从四个维度构建结构化的ICP:
Firmographic filters (company-level)
公司层面的企业属性筛选器
| Filter | Questions to ask | Example values |
|---|---|---|
| Industry | What industries are your best customers in? | SaaS, Financial Services, Healthcare |
| Company size | How many employees? What revenue range? | 50-500 employees, $10M-$100M revenue |
| Geography | Where are your target companies? | US, UK, DACH region |
| Funding stage | Do you target by funding? | Series A-C, bootstrapped, public |
| Technology | What tech stack signals a good fit? | Uses Salesforce, runs Kubernetes, has React in stack |
| 筛选维度 | 需要询问的问题 | 示例值 |
|---|---|---|
| 行业 | 你的最佳客户来自哪些行业? | SaaS、金融服务、医疗健康 |
| 公司规模 | 员工数量?营收范围? | 50-500名员工,1000万-1亿美元营收 |
| 地域 | 目标公司位于哪些地区? | 美国、英国、DACH地区(德国、奥地利、瑞士) |
| 融资阶段 | 是否按融资阶段筛选目标客户? | A-C轮融资、bootstrapped(自筹资金)、上市公司 |
| 技术栈 | 哪些技术栈信号表明客户匹配度高? | 使用Salesforce、运行Kubernetes、技术栈包含React |
Demographic filters (person-level)
个人层面的人口属性筛选器
| Filter | Questions to ask | Example values |
|---|---|---|
| Job title | What titles do you sell to? | VP Engineering, Head of Sales, CTO |
| Seniority | What level of decision-maker? | Director+, VP+, C-suite |
| Department | Which function? | Engineering, Sales, Marketing, Finance |
| Job function | What do they actually do? | People management, IC, operations |
| 筛选维度 | 需要询问的问题 | 示例值 |
|---|---|---|
| 职位头衔 | 你的产品面向哪些职位的人群销售? | 工程副总裁、销售主管、CTO |
| 职级 | 目标决策者的级别? | 总监及以上、副总裁及以上、高管层 |
| 部门 | 目标职能部门? | 工程、销售、营销、财务 |
| 工作职责 | 他们的实际工作内容? | 人员管理、独立贡献者(IC)、运营 |
Behavioral/signal filters
行为/信号筛选器
| Filter | Questions to ask | Example values |
|---|---|---|
| Hiring signals | Are they hiring for roles your product replaces/supports? | Posting for SDRs, data engineers |
| Funding | Recent funding that creates budget? | Raised Series B in last 6 months |
| Job changes | New leaders who bring new tools? | Started VP role in last 90 days |
| Intent | Researching topics related to your product? | Intent topics in your category |
| Tech install | Recently adopted complementary/competitive tech? | Added Snowflake, removed competitor |
| 筛选维度 | 需要询问的问题 | 示例值 |

| 融资信号 | 近期融资是否带来了预算空间? | 过去6个月内完成B轮融资 |
| 职位变动信号 | 新任领导层是否会引入新工具? | 过去90天内担任副总裁职位 |
| 意向信号 | 是否在研究与你的产品相关的主题? | 所在品类的意向主题 |
| 技术部署信号 | 近期是否采用了互补/竞争技术? | 新增Snowflake、移除竞品工具 |
Negative filters (who to exclude)
排除筛选器(需要排除的对象)
- Existing customers
- Companies in active deals
- Do-not-contact list
- Companies too small or too large
- Industries you don't serve
- Geographies you can't support
- 现有客户
- 正在跟进的潜在客户
- 请勿联系名单
- 规模过小或过大的公司
- 不服务的行业
- 无法覆盖的地域
Step 3 — Build the list
步骤3 — 构建列表
Filter strategy by persona
按角色设计筛选策略
For each persona in the ICP, design the filter combination:
Primary persona (highest priority):
- Filters: [specific combination]
- Expected list size: [estimate]
- Quality check: Does every record on this list make sense as a prospect?
Secondary persona (if applicable):
- Filters: [adjusted combination]
- Expected list size: [estimate]
针对ICP中的每个角色,设计筛选组合:
核心角色(最高优先级):
- 筛选条件:[具体组合]
- 预期列表规模:[预估数量]
- 质量检查:列表中的每个记录是否都符合潜在客户标准?
次要角色(如适用):
- 筛选条件:[调整后的组合]
- 预期列表规模:[预估数量]
List sizing guidance
列表规模指导
| Campaign type | Recommended list size | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Hyper-targeted ABM | 25-100 | Quality over quantity — deep personalization per account |
| Focused outbound | 200-500 | Manageable for Level 3+ personalization |
| Scaled outbound | 500-2,000 | Balanced scale with Level 2 personalization |
| High-volume outbound | 2,000-10,000 | Volume play — Level 1-2 personalization, A/B testing at scale |
The right size depends on your personalization capacity. A list of 5,000 is useless if your team can only personalize 50 emails per week.
| 营销活动类型 | 推荐列表规模 | 原因 |
|---|---|---|
| 高度精准的ABM | 25-100 | 质量优先——针对每个客户进行深度个性化触达 |
| 聚焦式冷触达 | 200-500 | 便于开展3级及以上的个性化触达 |
| 规模化冷触达 | 500-2000 | 平衡规模与2级个性化触达 |
| 高容量冷触达 | 2000-10000 | 以量取胜——1-2级个性化触达,规模化A/B测试 |
合适的规模取决于你的个性化能力。如果团队每周只能个性化50封邮件,那么5000人的列表毫无用处。

Step 4 — Segment and prioritize
步骤4 — 细分与优先级排序
Split the list into tiers for sequencing:
| Tier | Criteria | Volume | Approach |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 — Hot | Matches ICP + has buying signal (intent, job change, funding) | 10-20% of list | Highest personalization, multi-channel, fastest follow-up |
| Tier 2 — Warm | Matches ICP, no signal but strong fit | 30-40% of list | Standard personalization, proven sequence |
| Tier 3 — Broad | Partial ICP match, worth testing | 40-50% of list | Template-based, A/B test messaging |
将列表分为不同层级用于触达序列:
| 层级 | 标准 | 占比 | 触达方式 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1级——高优先级 | 匹配ICP + 存在购买信号(意向、职位变动、融资) | 列表的10-20% | 最高程度个性化、多渠道触达、最快跟进 |
| 2级——中优先级 | 匹配ICP、无信号但匹配度高 | 列表的30-40% | 标准个性化、成熟触达序列 |
| 3级——广覆盖 | 部分匹配ICP、值得测试 | 列表的40-50% | 模板化内容、规模化A/B测试 |
Lead qualification scoring
线索评分模型
Use a weighted scoring model to rank prospects numerically, not just by tier. This gives you a concrete starting point that you can tune based on conversion data.
| Criterion | Weight | What to score | Example: 80+ = Tier 1 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Title/role match | 30% | How closely does the prospect's title match your buyer persona? | VP Engineering = 30, Director = 20, Manager = 10 |
| Company size fit | 25% | Does the company fall within your ICP's employee/revenue range? | Sweet spot = 25, adjacent = 15, edge = 5 |
| Industry match | 20% | Is the company in a target industry? | Primary industry = 20, adjacent = 10, other = 0 |
| Role recency | 15% | How recently did they start this role? (New leaders buy) | <90 days = 15, 90-365 days = 10, >1 year = 5 |
| Buying signals | 10% | Intent data, hiring signals, funding, tech changes | Active signal = 10, weak signal = 5, none = 0 |
Total: 100 points max. Tier 1 = 80+, Tier 2 = 50-79, Tier 3 = 30-49, Skip = <30.
Tune these weights for your motion: outbound-heavy teams should increase company size and industry weight; signal-rich teams (PLG, intent-driven) should increase buying signals weight. Review and recalibrate quarterly using actual reply/meeting rates per score band.
使用加权评分模型对潜在客户进行数字排名,而非仅按层级划分。这能为你提供一个具体的起点,后续可根据转化数据调整。
| 评分项 | 权重 | 评分标准 | 示例:80分以上=1级 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 头衔/角色匹配度 | 30% | 潜在客户的头衔与你的买家角色匹配度如何? | 工程副总裁=30分,总监=20分,经理=10分 |
| 公司规模匹配度 | 25% | 公司是否符合ICP的员工/营收范围? | 核心区间=25分,相邻区间=15分,边缘区间=5分 |
| 行业匹配度 | 20% | 公司是否属于目标行业? | 核心行业=20分,相邻行业=10分,其他=0分 |
| 职位任职时长 | 15% | 他们担任该职位的时长?(新任领导层更易采购) | 少于90天=15分,90-365天=10分,超过1年=5分 |
| 购买信号 | 10% | 意向数据、招聘信号、融资、技术变动 | 明确信号=10分,弱信号=5分,无信号=0分 |
总分:最高100分。1级=80分以上,2级=50-79分,3级=30-49分,排除=30分以下。
根据你的业务模式调整权重:以 outbound 为主的团队可提高公司规模和行业的权重;信号丰富的团队(PLG、意向驱动型)可提高购买信号的权重。每季度根据各分数段的实际回复/会议率回顾并重新校准。
Personalization angles
个性化方向
Capture personalization angles during list building — not later at outreach time. This bridges the gap between list building and sequence writing and makes the handoff to much smoother.
/sales-cadence| Tier | What to capture | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 — Hot | Recent company news, specific tech stack observations, mutual connections, recent job change context, funding details | These prospects get the most personalized outreach — you need concrete hooks |
| Tier 2 — Warm | Industry pain points, company growth stage, hiring patterns, competitive tool usage | Personalization at the segment level — "companies like yours" not "your specific situation" |
| Tier 3 — Broad | Industry vertical, company size band, persona-level pain points | Template-level personalization — enough to feel relevant, not enough to be bespoke |
For each Tier 1 prospect, note at least 2 personalization angles during list building. For Tier 2, note 1 per prospect or 1 per segment. Tier 3 gets segment-level angles only.
在列表构建阶段就捕捉个性化方向——而非在触达阶段再处理。这能弥合列表构建与序列撰写之间的差距,使向/sales-cadence的交接更顺畅。
| 层级 | 需要捕捉的信息 | 重要性 |
|---|---|---|
| 1级——高优先级 | 近期公司新闻、具体技术栈观察、共同联系人、近期职位变动背景、融资细节 | 这些潜在客户需要最高程度的个性化触达——你需要具体的切入点 |
| 2级——中优先级 | 行业痛点、公司增长阶段、招聘模式、竞品工具使用情况 | 细分层面的个性化——“与你类似的公司”而非“你的具体情况” |
| 3级——广覆盖 | 行业垂直领域、公司规模区间、角色层面的痛点 | 模板级个性化——足够贴合但无需定制 |
对于每个1级潜在客户,在列表构建阶段至少记录2个个性化方向。2级潜在客户每个记录或每个细分记录1个。3级仅记录细分层面的方向。
Segmentation variables
细分变量
Beyond tiers, consider segmenting by:
- Industry — messaging should reflect industry-specific pain points
- Persona — a VP of Engineering and a CTO need different messaging
- Company size — SMB and enterprise have different buying processes
- Geography — timezone, language, regional references
Each segment should have tailored messaging in the sequence. One generic sequence for the whole list will underperform.
除层级外,还可考虑按以下维度细分:
- 行业——触达信息应反映行业特定痛点
- 角色——工程副总裁和CTO需要不同的触达信息
- 公司规模——中小企业和企业客户的采购流程不同
- 地域——时区、语言、地域参考
每个细分群体在序列中都应有定制化的触达信息。针对整个列表使用通用序列的效果会很差。
Step 5 — Quality checks
步骤5 — 质量检查
Before launching outreach, validate the list:
在启动触达前,验证列表:
Data quality checklist
数据质量检查清单
- Titles make sense: Scan for false positives (e.g., "VP" in a 5-person company is different from VP at a Fortune 500)
- Companies are real targets: Spot-check 10-15 companies — would you actually want them as customers?
- No existing customers: Cross-reference against CRM customer list
- No active deals: Cross-reference against open pipeline
- Contact info exists: Filter out records with no email or phone before enrichment credits are spent
- Duplicates removed: Dedup by email address and company+name
- Compliance checked: GDPR opt-in required for EU contacts, CAN-SPAM compliance for US
- 头衔合理:扫描误判结果(例如:5人公司的“副总裁”与财富500强公司的副总裁不同)
- 公司为目标客户:抽查10-15家公司——你是否真的希望他们成为客户?
- 无现有客户:与CRM客户列表交叉核对
- 无正在跟进的潜在客户:与在途管道交叉核对
- 联系信息存在:在消耗补充积分前,过滤掉无邮箱或电话的记录
- 已移除重复项:按邮箱地址以及公司+姓名去重
- 合规检查:欧盟联系人需符合GDPR opt-in要求,美国联系人需符合CAN-SPAM合规要求
List health metrics
列表健康指标
| Metric | Target | If below... |
|---|---|---|
| % with verified email | >80% | Enrich before sequencing — see |
| % with phone number | >40% | Acceptable for email-first sequences; enrich for phone-heavy cadences |
| % matching all ICP criteria | >70% | Tighten filters — too many partial matches dilute effectiveness |
| Bounce rate (after first send) | <3% | List quality issue — use verification tools before sending |
| 指标 | 目标值 | 若未达标... |
|---|---|---|
| 已验证邮箱占比 | >80% | 触达前补充信息——请查看/sales-enrich |
| 有电话号码占比 | >40% | 对于以邮箱为主的序列可接受;对于以电话为主的序列需补充信息 |
| 完全匹配ICP标准占比 | >70% | 收紧筛选条件——过多部分匹配会降低效果 |
| 首次发送后的 bounce 率 | <3% | 列表质量问题——发送前使用验证工具 |
Gotchas
注意事项
- Don't build a list without defining the ICP first. Claude tends to jump straight to filter recommendations. A list without a clear ICP is just a random collection of people. Always start with "who are your best customers?" and work backward.
- Don't optimize for list size over quality. Claude defaults to loosening filters to "get more results." A list of 200 perfect-fit prospects outperforms a list of 5,000 partial matches. Push back when the user asks for more volume at the expense of targeting.
- Don't ignore negative filters. Excluding existing customers, active deals, and do-not-contact lists is as important as the inclusion criteria. Claude often forgets to ask about exclusions.
- Don't assume job titles are standardized. "VP of Engineering" and "Vice President, Engineering" and "VP Engineering" are all the same person. "Head of Growth" could be marketing or sales. Always recommend title fuzzy matching or use Apollo's seniority filters alongside title keywords.
- Don't skip the segmentation step. A flat, unsegmented list leads to generic messaging. Every list should be split into at least 2-3 segments based on persona, industry, or signal strength.
- 不要在未定义ICP的情况下构建列表。 Claude倾向于直接给出筛选建议。没有明确ICP的列表只是随机的人员集合。始终从“你的最佳客户是谁?”开始,反向推导。
- 不要为了列表规模牺牲质量。 Claude默认会放宽筛选条件以“获取更多结果”。200个完全匹配的潜在客户列表的效果优于5000个部分匹配的列表。当用户要求以牺牲精准度为代价增加数量时,应提出反对。
- 不要忽略排除筛选器。 排除现有客户、正在跟进的潜在客户和请勿联系名单与包含筛选条件同样重要。Claude经常忘记询问排除条件。
- 不要假设职位头衔是标准化的。 “工程副总裁”、“Vice President, Engineering”和“VP Engineering”都是指同一类人。“增长主管”可能属于营销或销售部门。始终建议使用头衔模糊匹配,或结合Apollo的职级筛选与头衔关键词。
- 不要跳过细分步骤。 扁平、未细分的列表会导致通用化的触达信息。每个列表至少应按角色、行业或信号强度分为2-3个细分群体。

Troubleshooting
故障排除
Too few results
结果过少
Cause: Filters are too restrictive
Solution: Loosen one filter at a time. Start with geography (expand to adjacent markets), then company size (widen the range), then titles (add synonyms). Use Apollo's "similar titles" suggestions.
原因:筛选条件过于严格
解决方案:逐个放宽筛选条件。先从地域开始(扩展至相邻市场),然后是公司规模(扩大范围),再是头衔(添加同义词)。使用Apollo的“相似头衔”建议。
Too many results
结果过多
Cause: Filters are too broad
Solution: Add a seniority filter (Director+ if you sell to leadership), narrow the industry (sub-industry instead of top-level), or add a technology filter to find companies using complementary tools.
原因:筛选条件过于宽泛
解决方案:添加职级筛选条件(若面向领导层销售则选择总监及以上)、缩小行业范围(使用细分行业而非顶级行业),或添加技术栈筛选条件以找到使用互补工具的公司。
List has low email coverage
列表邮箱覆盖率低
Cause: Many records don't have verified emails in the data provider
Solution: Use with waterfall enrichment (try multiple providers). For C-suite and VP-level contacts, direct phone outreach may be more effective than email anyway.
/sales-enrich原因:数据提供商中许多记录没有已验证的邮箱
解决方案:使用/sales-enrich进行瀑布式补充(尝试多个提供商)。对于高管层和副总裁级别的联系人,直接电话触达可能比邮箱更有效。
