How to delegate lead list building
To delegate lead list building, define your ideal customer in writing: industry, company size, location, job titles, and signals that make a company a fit. Your hire builds lists in your prospecting tools, verifies every email, removes existing customers and duplicates, and delivers a clean list in your CRM import format each week.

- Confirm the ideal customer profile and this week's target segment.
- Search prospecting tools using preset filters for the segment.
- Verify emails and enrich missing fields such as title and LinkedIn URL.

Questions about delegating lead list building
How many leads can one person research in a week?
It depends on how much enrichment each contact needs. Agree on a weekly target after a test week, and judge quality first: a smaller, accurate list beats a large, noisy one.
