# Sales Prospecting - Build Quality Lead Lists

Build targeted prospect lists with verified emails and contact information.

## Workflow

### Step 1: Define Target Companies
Search for companies matching your ICP:

```bash
orth api run fiber /v1/natural-language-search/companies --body '{
  "query": "B2B SaaS startups in San Francisco with 50-200 employees Series A or B funded"
}'
```

### Step 2: Find Decision Makers
Search for people at target companies:

```bash
orth api run fiber /v1/people-search --body '{
  "searchParams": {
    "job_titles": ["CTO", "VP Engineering", "Head of Engineering"],
    "company_names": ["Stripe", "Figma", "Notion"],
    "locations": ["San Francisco"]
  }
}'
```

### Step 3: Get All Emails for Company
Find all contacts at a domain:

```bash
orth api run hunter /v2/domain-search --query 'domain=stripe.com'
```

### Step 4: Find Specific Contact's Email
Find email for a specific person:

```bash
orth api run sixtyfour /find-email --body '{
  "lead": {
    "first_name": "Sarah",
    "last_name": "Chen",
    "domain": "stripe.com"
  }
}'
```

### Step 5: Verify Emails
Check deliverability before outreach:

```bash
orth api run fiber /v1/validate-email/single --body '{"email": "sarah@stripe.com"}'
```

### Step 6: Enrich with Company Data
Get company context for personalization:

```bash
orth api run brand-dev /v1/brand/retrieve --query 'domain=stripe.com'
```

# 1. Find companies (Fiber)
