Prospect
Go from an ICP description to a ranked, enriched lead list in one shot. The user describes their ideal customer via "$ARGUMENTS".
Examples
-
/apollo:prospect VP of Engineering at Series B+ SaaS companies in the US, 200-1000 employees
-
/apollo:prospect heads of marketing at e-commerce companies in Europe
-
/apollo:prospect CTOs at fintech startups, 50-500 employees, New York
-
/apollo:prospect procurement managers at manufacturing companies with 1000+ employees
-
/apollo:prospect SDR leaders at companies using Salesforce and Outreach
Step 1 — Parse the ICP
Extract structured filters from the natural language description in "$ARGUMENTS":
Company filters:
-
Industry/vertical keywords → q_organization_keyword_tags
-
Employee count ranges → organization_num_employees_ranges
-
Company locations → organization_locations
-
Specific domains → q_organization_domains_list
Person filters:
-
Job titles → person_titles
-
Seniority levels → person_seniorities
-
Person locations → person_locations
If the ICP is vague, ask 1-2 clarifying questions before proceeding. At minimum, you need a title/role and an industry or company size.
Step 2 — Search for Companies
Use mcp__claude_ai_Apollo_MCP__apollo_mixed_companies_search with the company filters:
-
q_organization_keyword_tags for industry/vertical
-
organization_num_employees_ranges for size
-
organization_locations for geography
-
Set per_page to 25
Step 3 — Enrich Top Companies
Use mcp__claude_ai_Apollo_MCP__apollo_organizations_bulk_enrich with the domains from the top 10 results. This reveals revenue, funding, headcount, and firmographic data to help rank companies.
Step 4 — Find Decision Makers
Use mcp__claude_ai_Apollo_MCP__apollo_mixed_people_api_search with:
-
person_titles and person_seniorities from the ICP
-
q_organization_domains_list scoped to the enriched company domains
-
per_page set to 25
Step 5 — Enrich Top Leads
Credit warning: Tell the user exactly how many credits will be consumed before proceeding.
Use mcp__claude_ai_Apollo_MCP__apollo_people_bulk_match to enrich up to 10 leads per call with:
-
first_name , last_name , domain for each person
-
reveal_personal_emails set to true
If more than 10 leads, batch into multiple calls.
Step 6 — Present the Lead Table
Show results in a ranked table:
