Instant LinkedIn Prospect List (in Seconds): Claude-Style Query Pack + List-Build Template
Reconstructed contract
List appears in seconds
You don’t need to comment “CLAUDE” to get a “list in seconds.” Here’s a self-contained asset: (1) a precise prospecting spec you can fill in, (2) copy-ready Boolean-style LinkedIn search patterns and intent-signal keywords, (3) a scoring rubric so your AI (or you) prioritizes the right people, and (4) a CSV schema you can paste into Sheets/CRMs. This is generated from the pasted post context (no web research).
Resource without ritual
The promised resource, no comment required
1) The “List in Seconds” Blueprint (what to define before you search)
If you skip this, AI just helps you spam faster.
Fill this spec (keep it to 5–10 minutes):
A. ICP (ideal customer profile)
Buyer titles: (e.g., VP Sales, Head of RevOps, Founder)
Company type: (B2B/B2C), industry, business model
Size: employees range
Geography/timezone
Tech stack (optional): e.g., HubSpot, Salesforce, AWS
B. Trigger events (choose 1–3)
Funding/raising
Hiring for role(s)
New product launch
New leadership hire
Compliance deadline / regulation change
Switching tools / migration
Partnerships / channel expansion
Public pain signal (complaint, downtime, churn, layoffs)
C. Offer positioning
Outcome: (what changes in 30–90 days)
Proof: (case study metric, benchmark, demo artifact)
CTA: (15-min fit check, teardown, free audit, template)
D. Disqualifiers (so your list stays clean)
Exclude industries, geos, company sizes, competitors, students/recruiters
Output requirement (what your “list” must include):
Profile URL
Full name
Title
Company
Company size (approx)
Trigger evidence (link/post text snippet)
Why-now (1 sentence)
First-line personalization hook (1 sentence)
Score (0–100)
This output requirement prevents vague “qualified list appears” claims and forces usable data.
2) “Buying Signals” Library (signals you can actually search for)
Use these as keywords for post searches, profile keywords, and message personalization.
High-intent (strong signals)
“We’re hiring a [role]” (esp. sales/RevOps/implementation)
“Just raised/seed/Series A/B/C” / “closing our round”
“Migrating from X to Y” / “switching to” / “moving off”
“Looking for recommendations” (tool/service category)
“RFP” / “vendors” / “shortlist”
“Rolled out” / “implementing” / “pilot” (tool/process)
Medium-intent (context signals)
“Scaling” / “growing headcount” / “new market”
“Launching” / “GA” / “beta” / “waitlist”
“New role” / “Excited to join as…” (fresh leader wants quick wins)
“Customer onboarding” / “churn” / “pipeline” / “forecast” pain
Low-intent (avoid as primary filter)
Generic motivational posts
Broad thought leadership without operational hints
Practical rule: Build lists from strong signals; personalize with medium signals.
3) Query Pack: Copy/Paste Search Prompts for AI (Claude-style)
Use these prompts with your AI + your LinkedIn workflow (Sales Navigator if you have it; otherwise standard search + manual filtering).
Prompt 1 — Ultra-specific list request
“Create a prospect list of 40 people on LinkedIn who match:
Titles: [list]
Company size: [range]
Industry: [industry]
Region: [region]
Trigger in last [30/60/90] days: [funding OR hiring OR migration]
For each prospect return: name, title, company, LinkedIn URL, trigger evidence (post snippet + date), a one-sentence ‘why-now’, and a 0–100 priority score using the rubric I provide next.”
Prompt 2 — Funding + hiring combo (example from the post)
“Find founders/VP Sales/Head of Revenue at companies that (a) announced funding in the last 90 days AND (b) are hiring SDRs/AEs/RevOps. Prioritize companies 10–200 employees in [region]. Output 30 prospects with links and evidence.”
Prompt 3 — Competitor-switch signal
“Build a list of 25 RevOps leaders who mentioned switching from [competitor] to [your category/tool] or complained about [competitor] in the last 180 days. Include the quote and link.”
Prompt 4 — New leader quick-win list
“List 30 people who started a new role in the last 60 days as [target title]. Filter to companies [criteria]. Provide a ‘first 90 days’ angle for outreach.”
Prompt 5 — “Commenter intent” miner
“Given these 5 example posts (paste links/text), identify commenters who show purchase intent (asking about pricing, vendors, implementation, alternatives). Return a ranked list with reason.”
Prompt 6 — Account-based expansion
“For these 20 target accounts (paste company names), find 2–3 relevant stakeholders each: economic buyer, champion, technical evaluator. Output a map with role hypotheses and outreach angle per person.”
Prompt 7 — Guardrails (anti-spam)
“Before outputting any list, apply exclusions: [list]. Also exclude anyone with ‘recruiter’, ‘student’, ‘coach’, ‘job seeker’, or obvious non-buyer signals unless I explicitly allow.”
If you don’t have automated access: use the prompts to generate your search plan + keywords, then manually collect the fields into the CSV template below.
4) Boolean-Style Search Patterns (works as a manual backup)
Use these patterns as building blocks in LinkedIn keywords fields (or to craft smaller searches).
Titles
("VP Sales" OR "Head of Sales" OR "Director of Sales" OR CRO OR "VP Revenue" OR "Head of Revenue")
("RevOps" OR "Revenue Operations" OR "Sales Operations" OR "Go-to-Market")
Triggers
(raised OR funding OR "Series A" OR "Series B" OR seed OR "closed our round")
(hiring OR "we're hiring" OR "join our team" OR "hiring SDR" OR "hiring AE" OR "hiring sales")
(migrating OR migration OR "switching from" OR "moving off" OR "replacing")
Pain/need
(pipeline OR forecasting OR churn OR onboarding OR "lead routing" OR attribution OR "sales cycle")
Exclude (where you can)
(recruiter OR "talent" OR student OR coach OR "open to work")
Example combined keyword string
("VP Sales" OR CRO OR "Head of Revenue") AND ("Series A" OR funding OR raised) AND (hiring OR "we're hiring")
Tip: Don’t overstuff. If results are thin, remove pain/need keywords and keep only titles + trigger.
5) Priority Scoring Rubric (0–100) to rank your list instantly
Score each prospect so you message fewer people, better.
A. Fit (0–40)
Title matches buyer/champion (0–15)
Company size/segment matches (0–10)
Industry matches (0–10)
Region/timezone workable (0–5)
B. Timing/Trigger strength (0–35)
Trigger present and verifiable (0–15)
Trigger recency: <30 days (15), 31–90 (10), 91–180 (5), older (0)
Urgency signal (hiring spree, migration deadline, new leader) (0–5)
C. Reachability (0–15)
Active on LinkedIn (posts/comments in last 30 days) (0–10)
Mutuals/shared groups/events/newsletter (0–5)
D. Personalization fuel (0–10)
Clear hook available (specific post, quote, podcast, job post) (0–10)
Recommended thresholds
80–100: message now
60–79: message if capacity; consider warm step (comment first)
<60: park / nurture
This rubric is what makes “works too well” become “works responsibly.”
6) CSV/Sheet Template (copy/paste headers)
Paste these headers into Google Sheets:
Prospect_Name,LinkedIn_URL,Title,Company,Company_Link,Company_Size_Range,Industry,Region,Trigger_Type,Trigger_Evidence_Text,Trigger_Evidence_Link,Trigger_Date,Why_Now,Personalization_Hook,Offer_Angle,CTA,Score,Status,Last_Contacted,Next_Step,Notes
Status values (suggested): New,Queued,Messaged_1,Messaged_2,Replied_Positive,Replied_Negative,No_Response,Booked,Disqualified
Minimal viable “list in seconds” is: Name + URL + Trigger_Type + Evidence_Link + Why_Now + Score.
7) Copy-Ready Outreach (non-cringe, context-driven)
Keep it human and short. Don’t pretend you “saw this and had to reach out” if you didn’t.
Template A — Funding + hiring
Subject (if email): Quick question re: scaling sales
Message:
“Hey {FirstName} — congrats on the {FundingRound}. Noticed you’re also hiring {Role}.
When teams do both at once, {common problem} usually shows up within 30–60 days.
If helpful, I can share a 1-page checklist we use to {outcome}. Want it?”
Template B — Tool-switch pain
“Hey {FirstName} — saw your note about {pain/quote}. Curious: is the goal to {goal} or {goal2}?
If you’re evaluating options, I can send a quick comparison framework (no pitch) that helps teams avoid {risk}. Want it?”
Template C — New leader
“Hey {FirstName} — congrats on the new role at {Company}. In the first 90 days, a lot of {role}s prioritize {priority}.
If it’s on your list, I can share a teardown of {artifact} and what usually moves the needle fastest. Interested?”
Reply handling (qualification in 2 questions)
1) “What’s driving this right now?”
2) “How are you handling it today (and what’s not working)?”
If they ask “what do you do?” (tight positioning)
“We help {ICP} achieve {outcome} without {tradeoff}. If you tell me your current setup, I’ll tell you in 60 seconds whether it’s a fit.”
8) Safety & Platform-Respecting Guardrails (so you don’t become the spam you hate)
Don’t run multi-account outreach or automation that violates platform rules or local laws.
Set daily caps: start 10–20 new outreaches/day, measure replies, then scale cautiously.
Use a “truthfulness rule”: only reference content you actually read.
Always include an easy out: “If not relevant, tell me and I’ll close the loop.”
Track negatives: if you get >5–10% negative responses, your targeting/message is off.
Separate prospecting from nurturing: not everyone with a signal is ready now.
This keeps “AI prospecting 24/7” from turning into “reputation damage 24/7.”
