Claude can now find who signs off on the deal
The 5 prompts to go from "this company is a fit" to "this is the person I'm writing to on Monday". The first one is here in full, no sign-up: try it before you give me anything.
01 · Which title signs off on the purchase
Five prompts for Claude, in order. Paste, answer whatever it asks, and walk away with a name, a reason and a way in. Manual method: Claude and your LinkedIn, no paid tools.
This is the by-hand method, no paid tools: you, Claude and what you can already see on LinkedIn. Copy the prompt, paste it into Claude with a company that fits, and see what comes back.
When I use it: when I have the company and don't know how to get in.
Here's a company's website: [URL]. Read the whole thing, press releases included. Tell me five things. One, what they do in one sentence, using their own words. Two, which industries they sell to. Three, which department would feel the problem [MY PRODUCT] solves, and what specific symptom they'd have. Four, which JOB TITLE has the budget to sign off on it at a company of this size and industry. And five, which title would block it and why. Don't give me a list of possible titles: pick one and justify it with a sentence you actually read on their website. If the website isn't enough to decide, tell me instead of guessing.
Inside: all five in full and ready to copy, when to use each one, and all five run back to back on a real example company.
02 · Who decides and who just has an opinion
When I use it: when I already have four names and don't know who to start with.
Here are several people from the same company with their job titles. Sort them into three groups. DECIDES: the one who signs and puts their budget on the line. INFLUENCES: the one who gets asked and can kill it but doesn't approve it. USES: the one who lives with the problem every day and has no say in the purchase. Tell me who to start with, why, and what each of the three cares about, because it's not the same: the decider cares about risk, the influencer cares about not having their life made harder, and the user cares about getting the headache off their plate. If two fit equally well, tell me and give me the tiebreaker.
03 · Still in the role, or gone for months
When I use it: before writing, so I don't get caught looking clueless.
Here's a person's profile. Tell me if there are signs they're no longer in that role. Look at the start date of their current position, whether the headline and the experience contradict each other, whether there's a new role recently started somewhere else, and whether their last move is very old. Give me a clear verdict, one of three: still there, gone, or no way to tell. If it's the third, tell me what I'd need to check to find out. If they've moved to a different role in the same company, tell me which one, because they may no longer be the right person to write to. Don't fill in what you can't see.
04 · The first message, with the real reason
When I use it: when I know who I'm writing to and don't want to sound like a template.
Here's the job title, the company and the real reason I'm writing to them. Write me a LinkedIn message under 400 characters that opens with that reason, not with me. No "hope you're well", no adjectives, no claiming we're leaders in anything, and no asking for a call in the first line. It should be obvious I looked at their company, not at a list. End with a question they can answer in one line from their phone. And tell me which sentence in the message shows it's written for them and not for just anyone: if you can't point to one, rewrite it.
05 · When not to write yet
When I use it: the one that saves me the most, because writing at the wrong time burns the contact.
Here's what I know about the company and the person. Tell me if today is a bad time and why. Check whether they just changed who's in charge, whether they're in the middle of something big that's eating their calendar, whether there's no sign at all that they have the problem I solve, and whether it's peak season in their industry. If the answer is don't write, don't leave me hanging: tell me what specific signal I should wait for and how long it usually takes to show up. And if you say go ahead, tell me which signal justifies it and how to use it in the first line.
All 5 back to back, on a real company
The company: GEMINIS, Elgoibar, Gipuzkoa. Everything here comes from their public website, geminislathes.com.
- Result
Prompt 1
They build high-precision lathes and mill-turn machines for large parts, and sell to rail, energy, shipbuilding and aerospace, where purchases move slowly. Their bottleneck is reaching the right customer. The sales director or the business development director signs. Finance blocks it if they don't see a return.
- Result
Prompt 2
The sales director DECIDES. The export manager INFLUENCES, because they're the one feeling the problem at trade shows and the one who'll say whether this helps or gets in the way. The technician on the sales network USES it, and their opinion doesn't move the signature, but it does move adoption.
- Result
Prompt 3
The example stops here, on purpose. You fill in the name, because it changes every week and because publishing it would mean using someone at GEMINIS without their permission. The prompt tells you what to look at: when they started in the role, whether the headline matches the experience, and whether their last move is old.
- Result
Prompt 4
The real reason isn't "we sell you software". It's that they exhibit at BIEMH and Global Industrie, which means they're already spending money to find customers abroad. That's the hook, and it's on their website. The message opens there and closes with a question they can answer from their phone.
- Result
Prompt 5
Not during trade show weeks. They're away, their calendar is packed and they have no headspace for anything new. The good signal comes right after: they get back with a pile of unqualified contacts on their desk, and that's when a message that helps them sort through them lands at the best possible moment.
What these prompts don't solve
Step 2Your whole market doesn't fit by hand.
You just saw 5 prompts on ONE company. Repeating that across your whole market is weeks of work, and by then a good chunk of the data will have changed. The prompts give you the WHAT. What they don't give you is doing it across hundreds of companies without it going stale.
