🔎 Step 1: Open the Search Tool

  1. Log in to your A-Leads account.
  2. From the sidebar, click Search.
  3. The Advanced Search Panel will appear with multiple filter options.

🎯 Step 2: Choose Your Filters

You can mix and match filters to find contacts that perfectly match your ideal customer profile (ICP):

  • Job Title & Seniority → e.g., “Marketing Director,” “VP of Sales.”
  • Industry & Sub-Industry → e.g., “SaaS,” “Healthcare,” “Financial Services.”
  • Company Size → Filter by number of employees or revenue brackets.
  • Location → Country, state, city, or global regions.
  • Technologies Used → Find companies using Salesforce, HubSpot, AWS, etc.
  • Keywords → Target companies that mention specific terms in their description.
  • Buying Intent → Zero in on prospects actively researching solutions.
  • Job Change Alerts → Spot leads who recently moved into new roles.

👉 Example: “VP of Marketing at SaaS companies in the US with 50–500 employees using HubSpot.”

⚡ Step 3: Review Search Results

  • Results appear instantly as you apply filters.
  • Each contact preview includes:
    • Name & Title
    • Company Information (size, revenue, industry)
    • Data Availability (email, phone, intent signals)
  • Refine filters to narrow down results until your list looks right.

📩 Step 4: Unlock Leads

  • Click Reveal Contact to see a verified email or phone number.
  • Each reveal deducts 1 email credit or 1 mobile credit.
  • Once unlocked, the data is yours to export or integrate.

📤 Step 5: Save & Export (Optional)

  • Save your search to reuse later.
  • Export results to CSV or push directly into your CRM or outreach tools (HubSpot, Salesforce, Smartlead, etc.).

🛡️ Pro Tips for Better Searches

  • Start broad → then narrow filters for precision.
  • Use intent filters to prioritize prospects most likely to buy.
