#18Chapter 03 — AI-Powered Prospecting: Find the Right Deals Faster
I have a batch of trade show leads to research. Process these prospects at Tier 2 depth (company summary + one personalized hook + pain hypothesis).

**My product:** [One sentence]
**My ICP criteria:** [Key criteria from your ICP document]

For each prospect, provide:
1. **Company snapshot** (2-3 sentences): What they do, approximate size, current trajectory
2. **ICP fit score** (High / Medium / Low): How well do they match our criteria? Note which criteria they match and which are unknown.
3. **Likely pain point**: Based on their industry and size, what's the one problem we solve that probably keeps them up at night?
4. **Personalized hook**: One sentence I could use in an email opening that shows I know something about their situation. Base this ONLY on information I provide — do not invent company-specific details.
5. **Tier recommendation**: Should this prospect stay at Tier 2, upgrade to Tier 1 (deeper research warranted), or downgrade to Tier 3 (batch outreach only)?

Prospect 1: [Name], [Title] at [Company]. Notes from conversation: [anything you remember or wrote on the card]
Prospect 2: [Same format]
... (continue for 10-15 prospects)

After processing, summarize: How many Tier 1 upgrades? How many Tier 3 downgrades? Which 3 prospects should I prioritize this week?
