Prospect streamlines the lead generation process by translating plain-English ideal customer profile (ICP) descriptions into structured search queries. It automates the discovery of companies and decision-makers, enriches the data with firmographic and contact details, and presents a ranked list based on ICP fit. The skill includes built-in credit management and offers follow-up actions such as saving contacts to a CRM or adding them to outreach sequences.
What it does
- Parses natural language ICP descriptions into structured search filters.
- Searches for companies and decision-makers matching specific criteria.
- Enriches lead data with professional contact information and firmographics.
- Ranks leads based on their alignment with the defined ICP.
- Provides a structured table of results including contact details and fit scores.
- Offers direct integration for saving leads or initiating outreach sequences.
When to use it
- When you need to quickly build a targeted list of prospects for a new outreach campaign.
- When you want to automate the manual process of searching and enriching lead data.
- When you have a clear idea of your ideal customer but need to identify specific decision-makers.
- When you need to maintain consistent lead qualification standards across your sales team.
Advantages
- Reduces manual research time by automating the entire lead discovery pipeline.
- Ensures consistent lead qualification through standardized ICP fit scoring.
- Provides actionable contact information including emails and phone numbers.
- Integrates directly with CRM and sequence management workflows.
- Allows for rapid iteration and refinement of search criteria.
Usage examples
- “VP of Engineering at Series B+ SaaS companies in the US, 200-1000 employees”
- The agent parses the criteria, searches for matching US-based SaaS companies, identifies VPs of Engineering, enriches the contact data, and returns a ranked table of leads.

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_tagsEmployee count ranges →
organization_num_employees_rangesCompany locations →
organization_locationsSpecific domains →
q_organization_domains_list
Person filters:
Job titles →
person_titlesSeniority levels →
person_senioritiesPerson 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_tagsfor industry/verticalorganization_num_employees_rangesfor sizeorganization_locationsfor geographySet
per_pageto 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_titlesandperson_senioritiesfrom the ICPq_organization_domains_listscoped to the enriched company domainsper_pageset 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,domainfor each personreveal_personal_emailsset totrue
If more than 10 leads, batch into multiple calls.
Step 6 — Present the Lead Table
Show results in a ranked table:
Leads matching: [ICP Summary]
| # | Name | Title | Company | Employees | Revenue | Phone | ICP Fit |
|---|
ICP Fit scoring:
Strong — title, seniority, company size, and industry all match
Good — 3 of 4 criteria match
Partial — 2 of 4 criteria match
Summary: Found X leads across Y companies. Z credits consumed.
Step 7 — Offer Next Actions
Ask the user:
Save all to Apollo — Bulk-create contacts via
mcp__claude_ai_Apollo_MCP__apollo_contacts_createwithrun_dedupe: truefor each leadLoad into a sequence — Ask which sequence and run the sequence-load flow for these contacts
Deep-dive a company — Run
/apollo:company-intelon any company from the listRefine the search — Adjust filters and re-run
Export — Format leads as a CSV-style table for easy copy-paste
