A rep on a Pro plan with one active Target Profile (B2B software, 51 to 1,000 employees, US and UK, sales and RevOps personas) runs the prompt at 08:20. Lusha returns 1,000 ranked companies in the full list and shows the top 10.
| Rank | Account | Fit | Signal | Signals that fired |
|---|
| 1 | US fraud prevention software, 712 employees | 1.00 | 0.75 | Hiring surge, IT spend increase, headcount growth 1 to 6 months |
| 2 | US data center operator, 690 employees | 0.93 | 1.00 | Hiring surge, traffic increase, IT spend increase, headcount growth |
| 3 | US ecommerce risk platform, 722 employees | 0.82 | 1.00 | Hiring surge, traffic increase, IT spend increase, headcount growth |
| 4 | US cloud analytics vendor, 823 employees | 0.78 | 0.75 | Hiring surge, traffic increase, IT spend increase |
| 5 | US cloud cost management, 770 employees | 0.77 | 0.88 | Hiring surge, traffic increase, IT spend increase |
For the top three, the decision maker filter returned the executive team: at account 1, M.R., CEO and Co Founder (score 0.85); at account 3, E.G., CEO (0.78) and A.D., CFO (0.78). The sales leader search then found 12 people across the three companies, 1 credit for the preview. The final table:
| Account | Decision maker | Sales leader to call first | Signal to open with | Opening line |
|---|
| US fraud prevention software, 712 employees | M.R., CEO and Co Founder | O.O., Chief Revenue Officer, New York | Hiring surge + IT spend increase | “You’re adding headcount and tech budget in the same quarter. That’s usually when the sales team outgrows how it finds and prioritizes accounts. Worth 15 minutes?” |
| US data center operator, 690 employees | Not pulled (second batch) | M.K., Chief Revenue Officer, Los Angeles | Hiring surge + traffic increase | “Your site traffic and your hiring are both up this quarter. More inbound, more reps: how are you deciding who gets worked first?” |
| US ecommerce risk platform, 722 employees | E.G., CEO · A.D., CFO | L.T., Head of Sales, Sydney | Hiring surge + headcount growth | “Saw the sales hiring push. New reps ramp faster when the list is already ranked for them on day one. Happy to show how that looks for a team your size.” |
Two things to read in that table. The decision maker column for account 2 is empty because the test ran that step on accounts 1 and 3 only; the prompt as written fills it. And the Head of Sales at account 3 sits in Sydney while the company is US based, so a rep would skip to the New York or Philadelphia strategic sales lead the same search returned. The play is about reading the output, not trusting it blind. Each reveal is quoted before it happens: 1 credit per email, 5 per phone.
