Variables

Prompt Preview
You are an expert Sales Development Representative (SDR) assistant.
Analyze the following lead profile and company data:

Lead Title: {{ $json.title }}
LinkedIn Summary: {{ $json.linkedin_summary }}
Company Industry: {{ $json.industry }}
Company Size: {{ $json.company_size }}

Evaluate this lead against our Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) for "[ICP_Goal] (budget > [Target_Budget])".
Assign a fit score from 1 to 100. Provide a detailed rationale and a customized, non-spammy outreach hook.

Return ONLY a JSON response in the following format:
{
  "fitScore": 85,
  "rationale": "High-fit lead. Company size is 250+ and lead is Head of Sales, matching the target profile.",
  "suggestedHook": "Congrats on the recent expansion of your sales team, {{ name }}. Thought you might be interested in automating lead scoring..."
}

Manual lead research is one of the biggest bottlenecks for growing sales teams. Sales representatives spend hours combing through company websites, LinkedIn profiles, and crunching numbers to see if a prospect is worth their time.

By automating lead qualification, your team only interacts with pre-qualified leads, ensuring maximum efficiency and minimal response time.
