Create lead lists

This is real work, not a feature someone invented — it comes from real job ads and real questions people asked. Below are four ready AI prompts: get it done, make it easy for the next person to say yes to, work out the right move when you are stuck, and stop it coming back.

I need a list of sales leads for enterprise HR tech buyers in the Northeast. Build a lead list of 150 contacts: heads of People Operations, VP of Talent, CHROs at companies with 500–2,500 employees in Boston, New York, and Philadelphia. Include company name, title, and a note on why they might be a fit. Deliver the list as a CSV I can export and use in outreach sequences.

Before I export this lead list to outreach, make it easy to prioritize. Bring expected purchase intent signals to the top: recent funding, recent HR system change, or recent headcount growth. Highlight the top 25 accounts by likelihood to engage and flag which contacts already follow my company. Suggest three filters that will make the list actionable for a two-week campaign.

My list has lots of HR directors at tiny companies, not the VPs I wanted
I asked for VP and CHRO level contacts and the lead list returned many HR directors at small firms. I'm worried the list will waste my SDR team's time. Explain why these mismatches happened, how to refine the company-size and title filters so future pulls hit VP+ at 500–2,500 headcount, and a quick cleanup plan to turn the current list into a usable seed for outreach.

Every quarter I rebuild lead lists from scratch and lose continuity
Each quarter I recreate lead lists and we lose tracking of who was contacted, who warmed, and the accounts that cooled. Where am I systematically losing conversion memory between efforts? Recommend one process change to preserve engagement history, one naming convention for lists, and a lightweight tagging habit the team can keep without adding work.

Questions people actually ask

honest answers, no sign-up

Every task here was seen in the real world. Someone doing the job named it, a real job ad asked for it, or a lot of people asked about it online.

If nothing real showed a task, it is not on the page. That is the whole rule.

They are the same job approached four ways, because what you need depends on where you are.

Get it done today. Make it easy for the next person to say yes to. Work out the right move when you are stuck. Learn the pattern so the job stops coming back.

For most of these jobs it can carry the heavy thinking - draft it, sort it, check it, rehearse it with you.

It cannot sit in your chair, take the blame when a number is wrong, or notice what nobody wrote down. Let it do the first 80%. Keep the last 20% that is truly yours.

No. Copy any prompt and paste it into the AI you already use. No account, no score, no wall in the way.

Any of them. The prompts describe the work rather than naming a product, so they are not tied to one assistant.

That is also why they keep working when you switch.

Change it freely. Every prompt is a starting line, not a rule.

Put in your real numbers, your real names and your real deadline. The more you make it yours, the better the answer comes back.

The tasks come from real job ads, published job data and the questions people ask in public forums.

The steps come from LinkedIn's own documentation, with practitioner sources for the traps the manual does not mention.

Push once. Ask it to sharpen the weakest part and to say what it assumed.

Most wrong answers come from a missing detail rather than a bad prompt - tell it the thing it could not know.
