Executive Overview
The Lead Finder & Outreach Agent (Agent 07) replaces noisy, cold scraping lists with high-intent public buyer signals. Buying lists of thousands of unverified email addresses results in spam flags, ruined domain reputation, and single-digit response rates.
Agent 07 focuses on intent over volume. It continuously monitors verified public discussions, community questions, competitor frustration posts, and company announcements to surface accounts and founders that are actively seeking solutions in your problem domain today.
The Public Intent Discovery Framework
- 1. Active Problem Inquiries: Prospects asking for recommendations or complaining about workflows on public forums (Reddit, X, developer hubs, community boards).
- 2. Competitor Churn Triggers: Users expressing frustration with incumbent pricing hikes, deprecated features, or poor support.
- 3. Hiring & Growth Triggers: Companies hiring roles that directly use your software category.
- 4. Tech Stack Transitions: Organizations publicly adopting complementary tools that integrate seamlessly with your product.
How It Works: Step-by-Step Workflow
- 1. Strategy Ingestion: Retrieves your approved ICP pain points (Agent 02) and approved offer counters (Agent 04) to know exactly what buying signals to look for.
- 2. Bounded Signal Discovery: Scans public discussions and verifies that each signal is authentic, recent, and actionable.
- 3. Top 5 Opportunity Ranking: Strict cap of at most five highest-relevance opportunities per run, filtering out weak, generic, or duplicate mentions.
- 4. Context-Aware Outreach Drafting: Writes bespoke, non-spammy conversation starters and direct messages that reference the prospect's exact public question or challenge.
Core Deliverables & Output Structure
- Target Account / Discussion Summary: Context on who is asking and what specific problem they need solved.
- Verified Source URL: Direct public link to the forum thread, post, or public announcement so you can verify the context yourself.
- Intent Score & Relevance Rationale: Why this lead matches your approved ideal customer profile (ICP) and which offer angle applies best.
- Unsent Personalized Draft: Value-first, helpful message ready for you to review, personalize, and send.
Safety, Privacy & Anti-Spam Guardrails
- No Automated Outreach: Agent 07 NEVER sends emails, automated DMs, or LinkedIn connection requests. Unsent drafts remain in your workspace.
- No Private Profile Scraping: Does not harvest private phone numbers, scrape locked social profiles, or bypass authentication walls.
- Zero Hallucinated Contacts: If a real person or email is not publicly visible, it never invents fictitious names or email addresses.
Founder Review & Outreach Execution
Cold outreach without founder context feels robotic. You review each opportunity, read the cited public discussion, tweak the drafted response, and send it directly through your own accounts.
When you engage with a lead, you can log notes in the workspace for Agent 08 (Learning) to track which conversation angles convert best.
Role in the 8-Agent Sequence
Leads is step 07. It converts your upstream ICP, positioning, and offer strategy into real-world customer conversations. Founder feedback from these conversations is analyzed by Agent 08 (Learning) to refine future GTM sprints.
