Discover relevant contacts from target accounts using Octave intelligent prospecting
Discover relevant contacts from target accounts using Octave intelligent prospecting Who is this for? Sales development teams, account-based marketing professionals, and RevOps teams who are tired of generic job title filtering that misses the real decision makers. Built for teams that need to find the right people based on actual responsibilities and business context, not just titles on LinkedIn. What problem does this solve? Most prospecting tools are flying blind when it comes to finding the right contacts. You search for "VP of Engineering" but miss the "Head of Platform" who actually owns your use case. You filter by "Marketing Director" but the "Growth Lead" is the real buyer. Traditional prospecting relies on job title matching, but titles vary wildly across companies. This workflow uses Octave's context engine to find contacts based on who actually does the work your solution impacts, regardless of their specific job title.
