The problem — and how this kit solves it.
The Problem
Sales reps spend 3-4 hours per day manually searching LinkedIn and Apollo for prospects, copy-pasting company data into spreadsheets, and writing one-off emails. Most outreach is generic because personalization at volume is unsustainable. The result: low reply rates and wasted selling time.
The Solution
Prospect Finder searches Apollo.io using your ICP criteria, pulls company enrichment data, and AI-scores every match against your ideal customer profile. For each high-fit prospect, it generates personalized A/B email variants based on company context, role, and industry signals. All results land in your shared Prospect Pipeline, ready for review and dispatch.
The Outcome
Reduces prospect research and email drafting from 3-4 hours to a single manual trigger, delivering scored prospects with ready-to-send A/B email variants.

SDR team launching a new territory

Agency prospecting for multiple clients
A B2B agency runs Prospect Finder with different ICP criteria per client, generating separate scored pipelines with client-specific messaging angles.
Frequently asked questions
Prospect Finder pulls contact details (name, title, email, LinkedIn), company data (size, revenue, industry, tech stack, funding), and seniority level. All data comes directly from Apollo.io's People and Company Search APIs.
The AI compares each prospect's company data and role against your ICP criteria text. It assigns a fit score (high, medium, low) with a written rationale explaining which signals matched or missed. Scoring considers company size, industry, seniority, tech stack, and funding stage.
Three A/B email variants per prospect. Each variant uses a different outreach angle (pain point, social proof, direct ask) while personalizing to the prospect's company context and role.
Yes. ICP criteria is a free-text field where you describe your ideal customer in natural language — job titles, company sizes, industries, technologies, and any other qualifying signals. The agent translates this into Apollo search parameters.
Prospects land in the shared Prospect Pipeline with a "pending_review" status. Your team reviews and approves them. The Email Dispatcher kit then claims approved prospects and sends the selected email variant.
