Landing meetings in B2B sales requires precision: the right contact, the right message, the right timing.
Most SDRs spend hours finding contact info, then watch their emails get ignored. The problem isn't effort—it's targeting and timing.
Quotas don't wait, and sales cycles keep extending. You need a smarter approach.
This guide covers what actually works: proven strategies from top sellers to book more meetings and convert cold outreach into pipeline.
What is B2B prospecting?
B2B prospecting means finding companies that match your ICP and starting conversations before they come to you. It's proactive: you identify the right accounts, qualify them, and engage decision-makers who don't yet know they need you.
B2B prospecting typically initiates the sales process by finding the right businesses to approach and starting conversations that can lead to sales. As a sales professional, you’ll usually carry out prospecting in the following phases:
Identification of potential customers: You can do this through various methods like researching online, attending industry events, networking, or using specialized tools and databases.
Lead qualification: Once you identify potential customers, they need to be qualified to ensure they are a good fit for your product or service. This involves assessing their needs, budget, and decision-making authority.
Engaging and building relationships: In this phase, you’ll reach out to prospects through different channels, such as email, phone calls, social media, or in-person meetings. You’ll work to build meaningful relationships to move these prospects further down the sales funnel.
B2B prospecting keeps the sales pipeline full, ensuring a continuous supply of potential customers. It’s a crucial part of any B2B sales strategy and requires a combination of research, outreach, and relationship-building skills. It’s also the most challenging part of the sales process for 40% of sales professionals, but effective prospecting helps businesses generate new leads, expand customer base, and achieve revenue goals.
Most common B2B prospecting methods
Here are the core prospecting methods:
Here are some key methods for effective prospecting:
Cold outreach
Cold outreach is a proactive strategy in which you initiate contact with potential customers who have not previously expressed interest in your product or service. Sales representatives introduce the company's offerings to generate interest and start conversations. The two most common ways to do cold outreach involve phone calls and emails.
Cold calling: Directly calling potential customers to introduce your company and offerings. This approach requires a strong script and persistence, as you have a small time frame to capture your prospect’s attention and may frequently face “no” as an answer, so many sales reps make no more than two cold calls in an attempt to get a lead.
Cold emailing: Sending personalized emails to targeted prospects to showcase your offer’s value proposition and spark interest. Cold emails work when they're short, relevant, and show you understand the prospect's specific challenge. Subject lines are also critical, as they can make or break the success of your cold email: keeping them short and personalized may increase the open rate by as much as 19%.
Content marketing
Content marketing means creating resources your prospects actually want to read. Done well, it positions you as an expert and brings qualified leads to you.
Blogging: Creating informative and valuable content that attracts potential customers and positions your company as a thought leader. For example, HubSpot has an all-encompassing marketing blog that attracts over 7 million pageviews per month.
Social media: Sharing engaging content and interacting with target audiences on relevant platforms to build brand awareness and generate leads. Social media is a powerful channel to reach prospects from different generations — for instance, Gen Z buyers claim they extensively use social platforms to make purchase decisions.
Webinars & Events: Hosting informative webinars or attending industry events to connect with potential customers and showcase expertise. Professionals rate this content format as one of the best-performing when it comes to prospecting and lead generation.
Networking
Networking is building real relationships with prospects, partners, and industry contacts who can open doors.
Social selling: This means using social media platforms like LinkedIn or Facebook to build relationships, establish trust, and engage potential customers in a more personalized and authentic way.
Industry events: Attending conferences, trade shows, meetups, and other industry gatherings to meet potential buyers and partners face-to-face. This can be a particularly effective way to engage with prospects as Salesmate found that 34% of them will be open to talking to sales professionals at industry events.
Referrals: Leveraging existing relationships and satisfied customers to obtain warm introductions to new prospects — for example, a satisfied client introduces your software to a partner company looking for a similar solution to their problem.
Data-driven approaches
Intent data: Analyzing online behaviors and buying intent to identify prospects actively researching solutions similar to yours. For example, using tools like UserGems to track companies researching specific keywords related to your product can help you discover ready-to-buy prospects and prioritize them.
Account-based marketing (ABM): Targeting specific high-value accounts with personalized campaigns and outreach. For instance, creating a tailored marketing campaign for a Fortune 500 company, including personalized content and executive-level engagement.
Lead generation tools: Using tools and databases to find and collect information about potential buyers. Most companies use multiple platforms in their toolkit, proving the value of the data obtained through these tools.
12 creative B2B prospecting techniques used by experts
There’s a ton of advice out there about how to prospect effectively, but it’s hard to know which prospecting methods are the most likely to get you the results you want.
Each of these B2B prospecting strategies comes straight from an expert who’s already spent time figuring out the best (and worst) approaches to help you decide what’s worth trying.
1. Start your personal brand to build credibility
Establishing yourself as a thought leader in your industry is a powerful prospecting tool. When you have a strong personal brand, people recognize you as an expert and someone worth their trust and connecting with.
But, building a personal brand isn’t an overnight thing — it’s a process. Here’s what you can do to position yourself as a credible authority in your field.
Create thought leadership content: Share valuable insights from your experience on social media (especially LinkedIn), contribute to blog posts (with quotes) published on reputable sites and in industry publications, or speak at events to demonstrate your expertise.
Engage on social platforms: Interact with your target audience on LinkedIn and other platforms, sharing industry news, offering helpful advice, and building genuine connections.
Networking: Attend industry events, connect with potential customers and peers, and build relationships that can lead to future opportunities.
When prospects see you as an expert, they respond to your outreach. Simple as that.
2. Research potential connection points for outreach
Going beyond generic cold outreach (i.e. email templates that grab no one’s attention) and tailoring your messaging to specific connection points with your prospects can significantly increase your chances of getting a response — even a positive one.
Connection points that work:
Shared interests: Research your prospect's social media profiles to learn more about their hobbies, interests, and affiliations. What pages do they follow? What do they post about? Find common ground that can be used to spark conversation and build rapport.
Mutual connections: Identify shared connections on LinkedIn or other networks. A warm introduction through mutual contact can open doors and create trust. After all, referrals are a powerful way to generate high-quality leads, so don't be afraid to ask your existing clients, partners, and network for introductions to potential prospects.
Recent achievements: Congratulate your prospect on recent awards, promotions, or company milestones. This shows that you've done your research and are genuinely interested in their success.
Company news or updates: Reference a recent press release, blog post, or social media update from the prospect's company. This will show you're staying informed and paying attention to their business. Don’t use AI to create a generic comment on these publications — make sure you express an actual opinion on it.
Personalized content: Create custom content, such as a blog post or video, tailored to a prospect's specific pain points or needs. This proves your understanding of their challenges and positions you as a knowledgeable solution provider.
Research your prospects. Find real connection points. Your outreach will get better responses and more meetings.
3. Identify the prospect's preferred communication channel
This is critical: find out how your prospects prefer to communicate.
After all, it’s hard to engage and convert a prospect if you don’t know how they prefer to communicate.
Senior Account Development Representative at UserGems, Taylor Vo, points out, “You can put your all into the best-personalized email (ever) — but that won’t mean a thing if someone prefers a call or DM.”
The solution? Vo advises reaching out to prospects on three different channels in one day.
For example, Vo shares these steps as part of this “triple threat” B2B prospecting method:
Personalized email + Lunch invitation
LinkedIn + Vidyard or VIDU (Gif) redirecting to her email
Call + Leave a [voicemail] redirecting them to her email with the following copy: ‘No need to give me a callback, sent over an email with the subject line >SUBJECT< -- and would like to hear your feedback.’
By taking this approach, you can identify which communication method a prospect prefers.
“It’s also important to not make every message the same,” Vo adds. “If you’re hitting all three channels in one day, mix it up with different types of messaging (i.e., voice notes, personalized gifs, or video). See what sticks, and even if you don’t get a meeting right away — you’ll figure out which channel’s best for that prospect.”
4. Develop and follow a B2B sales prospecting process
“When you pick up the phone and call some random prospects, then the chances are that you will soon hit the wall,” notes David Reid, the Sales Director at VEM Tooling.
“If the prospects do not know who you are, they won’t invest themselves in building up conversations with you.”
It’s why Reid recommends building an organized B2B prospecting process. Start off with identifying who your ideal buyer is and create buyer personas. As you decide to reach out to prospects, make sure you contact only those who align with your buyer personas.
Remember: “The more targeted the prospects, the less time it takes to refine these prospects for your business deals,” says Reid.
And while you’re at it, use the right B2B prospecting tools to find out who to target. UserGems’ Senior Account Development Rep, Leah Zissimopulos, for example, used Drift and LinkedIn.
“I used software (Drift) at my last company to monitor what IP domains were on our website. As I figured, in some cases, someone from that company was on the website because they had an interest in our software. Then I went to LinkedIn to find ICP profiles and contact info,” Zissimopulos explains.
“Sometimes Drift would say where the person was located so I could narrow down who MIGHT have been on the website based on their locations on LinkedIn. This got me A TON of demos.”
You can also increase your odds of closing the deal by contacting someone in the target account who you already know. Or reaching out to a prospect who’s ready to invest in new tools after their fresh promotion or new job by tracking customer job changes.
Not sure where to find ready-to-convert leads? UserGems can help.
5. Build meaningful relationships
Build real relationships, and you'll understand their challenges better. That leads to more closed deals.
Ways to build relationships:
Leah Zissimopulos shares, “At another company I was at, we targeted marketers, from 1-person agencies to large agencies. I was also independently part of a referral networking program called BNI (Business Network International) that had a lot of digital marketers in the group — all in the US, Canada, UK, etc. So I used this common ground to make connections with marketers and book meetings.”
Connect with prospects on LinkedIn and give them something useful upfront.
UserGems’ Enterprise Account Executive, Blaise Bevilacqua, shares, “I've written love letters to some of my favorite brands on LinkedIn about my website experience and how they could improve their UX. Talked about my customer journey throughout the site and areas where the experience could have been a bit more smoother. [By doing so, I] landed a meeting with the Chief Product Officer.”
Direct mail still works when it's personalized.
Bonus points if it’s handwritten! Sending personalized gifts or promotional materials to high-value prospects to grab their attention and initiate a conversation.
Joe Jarvie, Senior Account Executive at UserGems, recommends yet another creative B2B prospecting strategy. “Write an e-book (relationship triggers for UserGems for example) and then self-publish on Amazon.com. Then buy prospects copies of that e-book as a gift using their email. The prospects get an email from Amazon saying Joe Jarvie just sent you an e-book.”
6. Create bite-sized videos to connect with prospects
Speaking of B2B sales prospecting strategies, Brian Thompson, the Head of Sales at Molten Cloud, says, “One creative method I have used to sell is leveraging video recording plugins for Google chrome to create short, customized videos for my clients.
It works great in enterprise sales where you often speak with non-decision-making stakeholders within a company while scouting out the ones who will make the final decision.”
Video prospecting in B2B doesn’t just drive results for Thompson, though. Reps who use video as part of their B2B prospecting strategy and sales email see a 16% and 26% increase in their open rates and replies, respectively. Emails with videos also see 4x the click-through rate than emails without video.
Convinced you need to try video for business prospecting? Thompson suggests you start with uncovering information about the client company that qualifies them for the sale.
“Once you understand the issues the company is dealing with, you can create a short 60-second video which, if needed, can include screen sharing of your computer for visuals.
When combined with a targeted email sent to a company, you position yourself to go ‘viral’ as recipients of your video and forward it to all relevant stakeholders for feedback.
The result is that you receive highly qualified meetings, with multiple decision-makers who understand the problem you solve and know what you sell. You also build credibility through the psychological impact of being in a video which is forwarded via your buyer’s colleague’s claiming you can help their business.”
7. Use humor where you can
Leah Zissimopulos, Senior Account Development Rep at UserGems, also commends using humor as part of your B2B prospecting methods.
“I’ve been playing around with being funny, self-deprecating on my cold calls and have gotten a lot of positive feedback. Lots of people have said, ‘I normally hang up, but that was a very creative opener,” Zissimopulos explains.
Sharing another instance where humor helped, Zissimopulos writes, “As a demo reminder, I did dress up as a squirrel and send a gif of me in costume to remind people that their demo was upcoming. This got a lot of positive replies.”
Humor is risky. Stick to self-deprecation to avoid offending prospects.
8. Follow-up and make sure you give it your all
Sara Angell, ADR Manager at UserGems, books most of her meetings through follow-ups.
Angell shares, “One thing that’s worked for me is sending a strong follow-up after initial contact. By strong, I mean pull out all the ammunition you’ve got. Research them on LinkedIn, PERSONALIZE, and include a video with a quick thank you, and a recap of what you spoke about. Give them all the information they asked for, but don’t overwhelm them. This hasn’t just worked for me once but has and will continue to be my go-to method for getting that first ‘yes.’”
Angell continues, “The idea is that everyone learns in different ways, so cover your basis and give your prospect choices. Include a cup of coffee or something along those lines, thanking them for their consideration as a gesture of goodwill.”
Why this works: For one, prospects may need time before they're ready to buy. Or, two, they might need a little more convincing about how your product can benefit them, which explains why 50% of sales happen after the fifth contact.
What’s more, “people appreciate you taking the time to do your research, and even more, they appreciate being heard,” adds Angell.
The key, however, is to pay attention to the initial conversation that you have with a prospect.
“If you really listen in that initial conversation, you can put together a creative and thoughtful follow-up … that will not only land you the meeting but will set your AE up for success and set the tone of your prospect's experience with your company.”
9. Maintain a presence in LinkedIn groups
LinkedIn groups put you in front of prospects and industry contacts.
Find groups with active discussions, and you'll connect with engaged prospects.
The key is to provide value consistently while building relationships naturally. For example, you can dedicate 30 minutes daily to group interactions:
Comment on posts
Answer questions
Share relevant insights and helpful resources
Once every two weeks, post original content that addresses common pain points in the industry. This strategy can increase your visibility but also positioned you as a trusted advisor for your audience.
Here are some examples of LinkedIn groups for specific industries:
For selling financial services and tech: Finance & Banking, Fintech, Regtech Professionals Worldwide (over 650,000 members)
For selling software designed specifically for startups and your audience are founders: The Founders Exchange ~ Startup Founder | Co-founder | Angel Investors | Chief Executives and Admins (over 200,000 members)
For selling to HR leaders and specialists: Linked:HR (#1 Human Resources Group)(over 1,500,000 members)
But remember — these are just a few examples, because numbers aren’t everything. When joining groups, look for those with active discussions and engagement. Focus on quality over quantity. You can often have more success in smaller, niche groups with 5,000-10,000 members than in some larger, general groups.
This prospecting method is effective for several reasons:
It allows you to demonstrate expertise in a non-pushy way, building trust over time
You gain insights into your prospects' challenges and needs through group discussions
It provides a warm introduction point, as you can reference shared group membership when reaching out directly
Consistent presence increases your visibility and keeps you top-of-mind for potential clients
Add value consistently for 2-3 months before starting sales conversations.
10. Be active in online forums that are relevant to your niche
Online forums work like LinkedIn groups: engage consistently, and prospects will come to you.
Most sellers ignore forums. That's a mistake. Your prospects are there, asking questions and sharing challenges.
Allocate up to an hour each day to forum engagement. This can involve answering questions, sharing experiences, and occasionally posting thought-provoking topics. The key is to be genuinely helpful — over time, you become recognized as an authority in your field.
Here are some examples of industry-specific forums:
For IT professionals: Spiceworks Community
For developers: Stack Overflow
For e-commerce: Shopify Community Forums
For marketing and sales: HubSpot Community
To make the most out of your forum engagement strategy, consider these tips:
Create a detailed, professional profile that subtly highlights your expertise and company
Use a signature that includes a link to your website or a relevant resource, but ensure you stick to the forum rules
Track your contributions and the responses they generate to brush up your approach
Develop relationships with other regular contributors, as they can become valuable network connections
Note: Today, Slack communities have a similar role as forums — make sure you explore them, too!
11. Learn how to communicate with gatekeepers
Executive assistants and receptionists control access to decision-makers. Build rapport with them.
Building rapport with them can increase your chances of getting through to decision-makers to whom you can then pitch your solution.
Seasoned B2B sales professionals know that gatekeepers shouldn’t be viewed as obstacles; but rather as opportunities:
Dedicate the first few minutes of any call to connecting with the gatekeeper personally
Note down their name and remember the personal details they share, and
Always express genuine appreciation for their help
This approach humanizes the sales process and creates a positive first impression of you and your company. A good relationship with a gatekeeper can lead to warm introductions or insider tips on the best approach.
Here are some examples of effective gatekeeper engagement:
For executive assistants: Always ask about their workload and if there's a better time to call. This shows respect for their time and often leads to useful scheduling insights.
For receptionists: Make a point to learn about company events or achievements and mention them positively. This builds a sense of camaraderie."
For office managers: Occasionally send them useful industry articles or whitepapers, positioning yourself as a valuable resource rather than just another salesperson.
Ramirez shares a success story: "By building a friendly relationship with an executive assistant over several months, I learned about an upcoming confidential project. This insider info allowed me to tailor my pitch perfectly, ultimately landing a $200,000 contract."
These three practices will help you carry out communication with gatekeepers successfully:
Keep a database of gatekeeper names, preferences, contact information, and any personal details they share
Be prepared with a clear, concise value proposition that gatekeepers can easily relay to decision-makers
Authenticity is key. Gatekeepers are skilled at detecting insincerity. Build genuine relationships, not transactional ones
12. Learn how to multi-thread with stakeholders
B2B deals require buy-in from multiple stakeholders.
Mastering the art of multi-threading by identifying key decision-makers, understanding their roles and influence, and tailoring your communication to each individual can significantly increase your chances of success.
This prospecting method reduces the risk of deal failure due to a single point of contact leaving or losing interest and positions your solution as a holistic answer to multiple departmental challenges. So, how do you start?
Create a stakeholder map for each account — not just titles, but also their potential pain points, decision-making power, and inter-departmental relationships
Then, tailor your outreach and content to address each stakeholder's specific concerns and goals
Here are some examples of effective multi-threading:
For IT decisions: Engage both the CTO and the IT Manager. The CTO gets high-level strategic benefits, while the IT Manager receives detailed technical specifications and implementation plans.
For Marketing Solutions: Target the CMO with ROI projections and brand impact, the Marketing Manager with workflow improvements, and the Finance Director with cost-efficiency data.
For HR Software: Approach the HR Director with employee satisfaction metrics, the IT team with integration capabilities, and the CFO with long-term cost savings projections.
Always be aware of internal dynamics. Sometimes, a lower-level champion can be your strongest advocate if they believe in your solution. Just remember, while multithreading is powerful, it requires careful management. Be transparent about your interactions to avoid any perception of going behind someone's back.
Where to get B2B prospecting data from?
Prospecting without good data means wasting time on wrong contacts, bad timing, and irrelevant outreach.
You need accurate contact data, current job titles, and real-time signals about who's ready to buy.
High-quality data allows sales teams to choose the right companies and individuals to reach out to, prioritize target prospects based on likelihood to convert, and improve overall efficiency and success rates of prospecting efforts.
Common data sources:
Data providers & aggregators: Companies like UserGems, ZoomInfo, Cognism, and Lead411 specialize in collecting and selling B2B company and contact data. While they mostly have the same purpose, these platforms have different functionalities, pricing, and data quality, which can affect your choice.
Social media platforms: LinkedIn is an ideal space for B2B prospecting, allowing you to search for professionals and companies based on specific criteria. Other platforms like X and Facebook can also be useful for discovering potential leads and building relationships.
Company websites & online resources: Visit the websites of target companies to gather information about their products, services, team members, and contact details. Look for press releases, blog posts, and other resources that might reveal insights about their needs and challenges. Also, explore industry-specific directories, forums, and online communities to identify potential prospects and engage in relevant conversations.
Lead generation tools & software: These tools can help identify anonymous website visitors and gather information about their companies. Data enrichment tools, or email-finding platforms like Hunter.io and FindThatLead can help to locate email addresses for specific prospects. Additionally, AI-powered tools like HubSpot's AI Prospecting Agent automate prospect research and personalize outreach directly within the CRM, streamlining the prospecting process.
