What makes a good B2B prospect?+
A good prospect matches three criteria: (1) firmographic fit (industry, size, geography), (2) a real pain point your product solves, (3) a buyer with budget and authority. Leads10 scores all three and gives you a 0–100 fit score.
Should I use LinkedIn or AI tools for prospecting?+
Both. Use AI tools (Leads10) for company discovery and ICP matching. Use LinkedIn for finding the specific buyer at each company once you know who to target.
How many prospects should I contact per week?+
Focus on quality over quantity. A short list of well-matched ICP prospects typically outperforms large untargeted lists.
