Prospect AI Quickstart: Launch Your First Intelligent Sequence

Start with dedicated sending domains—never use your primary corporate domain for high-volume prospecting to protect brand reputation.

Connect mailboxes through OAuth authentication. Recommend 1 mailbox per 30-50 daily sends to maintain healthy patterns. Run automated health checks to verify DNS records and authentication setup.

New domains require automatic warmup over 2-4 weeks, gradually increasing send volume while mixing high-engagement seed accounts.

Invest 15-20 minutes upfront to define precise ideal customer profiles (ICPs) that guide all prospecting.

Start with firmographics: industry, revenue range, employee count, regions, growth stage. Layer technographic signals—technologies prospects currently use. Add behavioral triggers: funding, leadership changes, hiring patterns, product launches.

Prospect AI's segment builder combines dimensions with AND/OR logic for laser-focused micro-segments. Example: 'Series A SaaS, 20-100 employees, using Salesforce, hiring sales reps, North America.'

Enrichment transforms raw contact lists into actionable intelligence that powers personalization at scale.

Activate modules for: job titles, direct dials, social profiles, technographics, funding data, hiring trends, recent news, and org charts. This data feeds AI personalization engines to craft contextual openers.

Signal monitoring runs continuously, alerting you to high-value triggers like key hires, funding events, technology changes, and competitor mentions. These become sequence trigger events for timely outreach.

Start with a proven template: email → wait 3 days → email → wait 2 days → LinkedIn → wait 3 days → email → wait 4 days → final email.

Use AI variant generation instead of writing from scratch. Input your value proposition and target pain points. The system generates multiple variants optimized for your segment. Review for tone and accuracy.

Configure rules: 40-50 daily send limits per mailbox, timezone-aware scheduling (9 AM - 5 PM local), auto-pause on reply, auto-suppress on negative replies. Start with 100-200 prospects to validate before scaling.

Monitor performance daily first week, then weekly. Focus on quality and conversion, not vanity numbers.

Deliverability first: bounce rate (<2%), spam complaints (<0.1%), inbox placement (95%+). Engagement: open rates (40-60%), reply rates (5-10%), positive reply rate (15-25% of replies).

Prospect AI auto-categorizes replies using NLP: positive, neutral, negative, and auto-reply. Track meeting booking rate (10-15% of positive replies), show rate (70%+), and velocity to first meeting (7-14 days).
