Finding new prospects

Search for new companies to sell to and review the fresh prospects ultragent finds for you.

ultragent finds new companies that match the kind of customer you want, and brings them to you ready to review. You start every day with fresh, relevant prospects instead of a blank page.

Search for prospects

The fastest way to find new business is to describe who you are looking for. Open Prospecting from the Sales menu and stay on the Search tab.

  1. Go to Prospecting and select the Search tab.
  2. Type what you are looking for in the search box, for example "fintech startups in Texas, Series A-B".
  3. Narrow your results with the Industry, Company Size and Funding filters.
  4. Click the search button to see matching companies.

Each result appears as a card showing the company name, industry, location, employee count and website. When contacts are available, you will also see how many people were found at that company.

Tip

You can search with just filters, just a description, or both together. Mix them to go from a broad list to a focused shortlist.

Read the ICP score

Every prospect carries a score, and what it measures depends on whether you have defined an Ideal Customer Profile (ICP). Anyone can define one in Settings → Sales profile, under Ideal Customer Profile: choose the industries, revenue, company sizes, locations and technologies you sell to, and how much each one counts.

  • With an ICP: the score is an ICP fit from 0 to 100, with a label from Excellent to Low. For a prospect it is worked out from what is known about the company, mainly its industry, size and location. Start with the highest scores.
  • Without an ICP: the badge reads Data completeness. It only counts how many company details are known, so it is not a fit score.

Saving your ICP rescores your accounts and the prospects you have already found.

Review your discovered prospects

ultragent also surfaces companies for you in the background, using your AI credits within your daily limit, so new prospects keep arriving even when you are not searching. Open the Discovered tab to see them, neatly grouped by how they were found.

Good to know

If a company is already in your CRM, it is clearly marked with an "Added" tag so you never chase the same account twice.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to upload a list or buy data to get started?

Not at all. Just describe the companies you want or pick a few filters, and ultragent finds matching prospects for you instantly.

What should I actually type into the search box?

Describe your ideal customer in plain words, like "manufacturing companies in the Midwest, 50-200 employees." You can layer the Industry, Company Size and Funding filters on top to tighten the list.

What does the ICP score tell me, and who should I contact first?

Once you define an ICP in Settings → Sales profile, the score shows how well a company fits your criteria, judged on what is known about it (mainly its industry, size and location), so start with the highest scores. Until then the badge reads Data completeness, which only counts how much is known about the company and does not tell you who fits.

Where do the Discovered prospects come from?

They come from searches built from your ideal customer profile, lookalikes of accounts you already work with, your own email network, and companies you save from searches.

How do I avoid reaching out to a company already in my pipeline?

Any company already in your CRM shows an "Added" tag right on the card, so you can see at a glance and never double up on an account.
