# Build a lead list with verified emails. And a reason to write to each one A B2B lead list is the people you should contact, how to reach them, and why now.

Build me a B2B lead list. First ask me for my buyer (roles, industries, company size, countries), how many people I want, and what I sell. Count the matches with leadsforge/count-people, then pull them with leadsforge/search-people. Find their work emails with leadsforge/find-emails-batch. For the people without one, try icypeas/find-emails-batch, then verify every address with icypeas/verify-emails-batch. For each company, look for recent news with serper/news. Finish with a table (name, title, company, email, verified, news hook with link, first line) and tell me how many emails failed verification. Before running anything, inspect each tool with inspect_tool, ask me for any input you don’t have instead of inventing it, and tell me the total price. Wait for my go. At the end, tell me what Agentik charged. ``` ## You provide - Your buyer: roles, industries, company size and countries - How many people you want - What you sell, for the opening lines ## What you get: a lead list with verified emails - A list of people with title, company, domain and LinkedIn profile - A work email for each, marked verified or not - A recent news hook per company, with its link - A first line for each person, tied to that hook ## How to build a B2B lead list in Claude or ChatGPT Prices are the most each call can reserve for this example: 50 people in software companies of 20 to 200 employees in France and Germany, emails looked up for all, a second source for 10, every address verified, 25 companies checked in the news. ### 1.

Each source covers different people. Leadsforge finds most; Icypeas tries the rest and checks every address, so fewer emails bounce. ### Couldn’t I just subscribe to Leadsforge? For the people and most emails, yes. The second source, the verification and the news hooks come from Icypeas and Serper. Through Agentik your AI uses all three from one connection and pays per result; the example costs at most $1.10. ### Is it GDPR compliant? That depends on how you use the data. Contact business addresses with a legitimate interest, say where you got them and honour opt-outs. ## Keep going - [Account research](/account-research.md): Their site, latest news, official filings and the profiles of the people you’ll meet, in a one-page brief with sources. - [Candidate sourcing](/candidate-sourcing.md): People in the role today, their full profiles, the open-source work behind their names, and verified emails for the shortlist. - [Market research](/market-research.md): The companies in the space, their pricing pages, Google search demand for the category, and what buyers say on Hacker News and X. - [B2B data and enrichment tools for your agent](/tools/enrichment.md) - [News tools for your agent](/tools/news.md) [All playbooks](/playbooks.md) · [Connection guides](/docs/clients.md) · [Billing](/docs/billing.md) --- [HTML page](/b2b-lead-list) · [Agent index](/llms.txt)
