Quick answer: Go to Leads → Search, enter criteria like name, company, title, and location, then apply filters for country, function, seniority, industry, company size, and whether a lead has an email or phone. Review the results, reveal verified contact details, and save promising leads straight to your contacts.
Leads Search lets you find decision-makers in a large contact database and pull their verified details into OutreachBox — the starting point for any outreach campaign.
Before you start
Define target industries, locations, company sizes, and roles. Choose a small segment you can evaluate before scaling research.
Practical example
Search for finance decision-makers at companies matching your service area. Review several results for role relevance, then save the segment and verify contact details before outreach.
Check your result
If results are sparse, relax one filter at a time. A matching record does not confirm current employment, purchase intent, or permission to contact; review context and freshness.
