Find the decision-makers

Pull the exact people to contact — by role, seniority and department — at each target company with Scrupp.

Build Your Lists with Scrupp ~2 min read

You have target companies. Now find the right people to contact at each. Emailing a generic inbox is wasted effort — you want the person who owns the problem your client solves.

Who to target

It depends on what your client sells, but you're usually after:

  • The economic buyer — the leader of the function your client helps (e.g. Head of Sales, VP Marketing, Head of Talent).
  • One level down — a manager who feels the pain daily and can champion internally.
  • Founders / CEOs at smaller companies (they decide everything and decide fast).

Contacting 2–3 relevant roles per company increases your odds — the first person isn't always the one who replies.

The old way (multiple tools)

The traditional stack: find people in Sales Navigator, then push each through an email-finder (Apollo, Hunter, Skrapp), then a verifier, then merge it all. Multiple subscriptions, lots of manual matching.

The Scrupp way (one workflow)

With Scrupp you go from company to the right people in the same place:

  1. Take your company list (previous lesson) or a Sales Navigator people search.
  2. Filter by the roles, seniority and departments that match your target buyer.
  3. Scrupp pulls the matching people at each company — name, title, LinkedIn — into the same list.

No tool-hopping, no matching "which person works where." You finish with a list of named decision-makers, ready for verified emails next.

Scrupp Leads Finder with a decision-maker query: target job titles, seniority levels and location
Build the query once: pick the job titles (VP of Sales, Head of Marketing, Founder…), the seniority that matches your buyer, and the geography — Scrupp returns the matching people at your target companies.

How many per company?

  • Small companies: 1–2 (founder + one lead).
  • Mid-size: 2–3 across the relevant function.
  • Larger: 3–5 — you'll often reach several before one replies.
