name: anysite-crm-prospect
description: Find net-new leads with anysite (LinkedIn and Crunchbase search, email finding) and push them into the CRM deduplicated - companies first, then contacts with associations. Creating records is gated by the profile's allow_create. Use when the user asks to find new leads/prospects/accounts AND add them to the CRM, build a list in HubSpot, or import prospects. For research without CRM push, use anysite-company-sourcing / anysite-people-sourcing. Requires an active CRM connection and profile.
CRM Prospect
Search → resolve → dedup → create. Order matters: companies before contacts, dedup before
create, dry-run before both.
Prerequisites
Active CRM connection + profile (allow_create: true agreed in profile — if not, stop and
ask). Read Writing rules in anysite-crm-setup.
Flow
1. Define the search
Get concrete criteria from the user (persona titles, industry, geography, size, stage).
If the saved GTM profile (anysite-gtm-profile, made by anysite-gtm-onboarding) exists,
its ICP and Personas sections are the default criteria — confirm them in one line and ask
only for what the request overrides or the profile lacks.
Estimate volume and confirm before running anything large.
Companies:
execute linkedin/search/search_sql_companies — main path: keywords/industry_name
DSL, employee_count_min/max, country_hq, up to 1000/call, 1cr-class.
execute crunchbase/db/db_search — when stage/funding filters matter
(last_funding_type, last_funding_date_after, investors).
execute crunchbase/search — live, adds hiring: true, it_spend_*, valuation_*
filters (20cr/50 — use for precision, not volume).
- Let the user pick before you spend on people and emails. Show the company result
with
show_entity_table, or run review_leads for a Yes/No pass; only the approved
selection (a cache_key in the [anysite-table] message) goes on to people, emails and the
CRM push. Funding for the list: batch the Crunchbase database and merge_data(join_on= ["domain","linkedin_url","company_id"], unmatched="drop") (anysite-mcp → Tables, joins
and lead review).
People at those companies:
- Bulk (default):
execute linkedin/search/search_sql_users — filter by
current_company_id/current_company_domain (straight from the company results),
seniority_min/function (derived — better recall than title text), country.
Craft + coverage caveats: anysite-people-sourcing skill. >1000 matches → walk
bucket_total/bucket_index, not repeated calls.
- Point lookups / disambiguation:
execute linkedin/search/search_users {job_title, current_company: [urn] | company_keywords, location, count} — never bare keywords.
- Live-verify the outreach shortlist via
linkedin/user with a small
cache_max_age_days (e.g. 7) before pushing — the DB is fresh but not realtime, and
without that parameter the "live" call may return a profile up to 180 days old.
2. Emails (cheap-first cascade)
execute linkedin/user/user_email — batches of ≤10 profiles. Warn the user upfront:
yield is low, a large share of leads will come back email-less.
- Remainder →
user_find_email_by_url {url: <vanity profile URL>} — high yield, 50cr
each: estimate the cost (50cr × remainder) and confirm before running on large lists.
Vanity URLs only (/in/name/, not /in/ACoA...). Its valid_email/email_status
fields are the deliverability gate: only validated work addresses go into the push;
the rest stay "found, unverified". (emails/find {linkedin_url} is an alternative
finder with email_status and is_personal.)
2b. Step-1 addresses → emails/verify {email}: only status: valid with is_personal: false counts as a verified work email; risky stays unverified, invalid is dropped.
- Still nothing → keep the lead in the report, but know the server requires an email
to CREATE a contact — email-less leads can only update existing records (matched by
linkedin_url). Report them as "found, pending email"; never silently drop them.
3. Dedup against the CRM (before any create)
crm_query_records(object_type="companies", search=<domain>) # or batch by domains
crm_query_records(object_type="contacts", emails=[...])
Dedup is reliable by email and domain. By linkedin_url it is best-effort only (free-text
search) — for a lead with no email whose search comes up empty, do NOT create; put it in
a manual-review bucket and say why. Existing company → reuse its record; existing contact →
update, not create. Report how many were already known — it calibrates the user's trust.
Launch gates before any create — decide link / create / review / reject per record:
- Identity: a consumer-email domain is never account identity; resolve the company by
its own domain. Re-run the dedup lookup right before the create, not only at the start.
- Context: already a customer, an open deal, a contact touched recently (if the CRM
exposes it) or a competitor → not a cold prospect; flag it instead of creating.
- List quality (show it before the push): verified work emails, duplicate emails,
people per company (> 3 at one domain → trim), titles that match the personas, company
fit, name quality (see
anysite-outreach → Clean names). Grade it A–F, weighting
verification and fit double; below C → fix the list first, don't push.
4. Push — companies first, then contacts
crm_upsert_companies(records=[{domain, properties per profile}],
allow_create=true, dry_run=true) → confirm → write
crm_upsert_contacts(records=[{email | linkedin_url,
properties per profile,
associate_company_domain: <domain>}],
allow_create=true, dry_run=true) → confirm → write
Before pushing, split found emails by domain: user_email returns a mix of personal and
work addresses (and sometimes an address at a PAST employer), so match each email's domain
to the contact's current company. Personal addresses (gmail/yahoo/outlook and similar) are
NOT work emails — never feed them into a work-email sequence; keep those leads in a
"personal email only" bucket alongside
"pending email", and say so in the report. Server requires email to create a contact;
contacts without email that don't match an existing record will be skipped with a
warning — report them as "found, pending email", don't retry blindly. When associating to companies created in the same run, prefer
associate_company_id from the company upsert result. Save run_ids.
Note: crm_* tools cannot add records to CRM lists (list_id is read-only in queries). If
the user wants the new leads in a HubSpot list, suggest an active-list filter on a mapped
property (e.g. lead_source = "anysite") — set that property during the upsert instead.
5. Report
Created / updated / already-known / pending-email / manual-review. Never call data
"verified" unless a verification step actually ran.
Boundaries
- Creating records (
allow_create=true) is permitted here and in anysite-crm-champions,
in both cases only when the profile's allow_create agrees. If the user wants research
without CRM push, stop after step 1 and hand over the table (anysite-company-sourcing,
anysite-people-sourcing).
- Don't set owner, lifecycle stage, or any protected field — routing belongs to the CRM's
own automation.
- ICP scoring of the found leads →
anysite-crm-score; lookalike seeding →
anysite-crm-lookalikes; writing the first-touch message → anysite-outreach
(it opens on a detail you collected here, not a generic template).
