Goal
Build a focused, deduplicated lead list from approved LinkedIn searches and prepare personal outreach.
What Nex will do
1. Confirm the ICP, search scope, exclusions, volume cap, and required output fields. 2. Use approved LinkedIn or Sales Navigator views to identify matching people and companies. 3. Resolve identities, remove existing or suppressed records, and enrich only approved missing fields. 4. Score fit and evidence, then prepare a personal LinkedIn message for each qualified lead. 5. Save or export the reviewed cohort with provenance and clear next actions.
Integrations and actions
Best for
Sales teams that already know the people they want to find on LinkedIn or Sales Navigator.
What you will get
• A clean, provenance-rich lead list matching the approved ICP. • Fit and intent scores with reasons rather than opaque ranks. • Personal LinkedIn message drafts and an approved save or export path.
What you will need
• An approved ICP, search definition, field list, exclusions, and volume cap. • Annex is optional; users can instead supply LinkedIn URLs, identifiers, or an export for Nex to process. • A connected enrichment provider is optional and used only for approved missing fields.
Approvals and control
Nex does not bypass LinkedIn controls, use unsupported scrapers, send messages, buy enrichment, or write canonical records without the required approval. Skipping Annex never blocks file- or URL-based processing.
