Hot-lead triage in a living #sales thread

The ten companies with the strongest new intent posted to #sales each morning; a reply like 'take 3 and 7' enriches those, finds verified contacts and drafts the first touch.

The problem this solves

Intent feeds produce more companies than a team can work, and the decision about which to pursue is best made by the people who know the accounts. A dashboard asks each rep to go and look; a morning post brings the ten strongest to the channel where the team already talks, and the team's replies decide which get the full treatment. The triage takes thirty seconds and the follow-through starts immediately.

The thread is what makes it work. 'Take 3 and 7' is a complete instruction when the ten are numbered in the post above it, and the agent answers under the same post with the enrichment, the verified contacts and the drafted first touch for those two. Tomorrow's post is a new thread with ten new companies, and yesterday's thread keeps its history. The Signals Agent runs the morning post; the enrichment and drafting are done in the same thread by the capabilities the reply calls for.

How the mission runs

  1. Post the morning ten. Each morning the Signals Agent reads intent data for <topic>, ranks companies by new intent inside your ICP, excludes companies posted in the last two weeks and customers, and posts the ten strongest to #sales, numbered, with one line of context each - what the company does, its size, the intent change.
  2. Read the replies. The agent watches the thread for replies that pick numbers - 'take 3 and 7', 'all of them', '2, please' - and confirms which companies it understood before doing anything that costs credits.
  3. Enrich the chosen companies. For each chosen company, firmographics, technographics, hiring and funding are filled in, and the account is saved to a list named for the channel so the picks accumulate.
  4. Find and verify contacts. People search identifies the likely buyer and one more stakeholder at each chosen company, and the email finder plus verification produce deliverable addresses with their status.
  5. Draft the first touch in the thread. A first-touch email per contact is written from the intent topic and the company's freshest signal in your voice, posted in the thread for the person who picked the company, and optionally created as a Gmail draft or a sequence lead on request.

The prompt

This is the exact objective the agent receives. Swap the obvious placeholders for your own domain, segment or channel and run it as-is from the console, Slack, or the API.

⟨ THE MISSION PROMPT · PASTE AND RUN ⟩

Each morning, post the ten companies with the strongest new intent on <topic> to #sales with one line of context each. When someone replies "take 3 and 7" in the thread, enrich those fully, find verified contacts, and draft the first touch.

What comes back

A numbered post in #sales every morning with the ten ICP-fit companies showing the strongest new intent on <topic>, and for every company picked in a reply, the full enrichment, two verified contacts and a drafted first touch posted in the same thread, with the picks saved to a list. Companies already posted in the last two weeks are excluded, so the morning ten is always new.

Make it yours

  • Change the trigger to hiring or funding signals instead of intent.
  • Post to a channel per territory with the ICP filter set to each region.
  • Let 'take all' create a Lemlist campaign, unsent, with the ten loaded and drafted.
  • Add a weekly summary of how many picks became meetings by reading the CRM.

Frequently asked questions

What if nobody replies to the post?

Nothing further is spent; the ten stay in the thread and the next morning brings ten new ones. The unpicked companies remain in the intent list for later.

Can two reps pick different companies from the same post?

Yes. Each reply is answered in the thread with the picker mentioned, and the drafts are addressed to whoever asked.

How is the ICP applied to the morning ten?

From your saved ICP or the criteria in the mission, stated in the post's footer so the team knows the filter.
