Keep only prospects that match your ideal customer and remove anyone who isn't relevant.

Ask Claude to add a pain point, the best service to pitch, a first message and a 3-day follow-up for each prospect.

HandoverContact your prospects

Reach out on the platform Claude recommends: LinkedIn DM, Instagram DM, X DM, or email if available.
