Lead Qualification for B2B Teams
A simple filter for deciding which companies and people deserve research, outreach, and follow-up.
Start with a real buying situation
A simple filter for deciding which companies and people deserve research, outreach, and follow-up. The useful unit is not a giant list of titles. It is a company and person with a believable reason to look at the problem now.
Separate a company that matches your customer profile from a person who has a real reason to care right now.
Research enough to change the message
Research should answer a simple question: what would make this outreach more useful than a generic note? Look for public context that changes the reason, framing, or timing.
- fit with the company type and problem you serve
- evidence that the problem is active rather than theoretical
- a role with enough proximity to the decision or the pain
Write for the person, then review the work
Qualification should make messages more relevant and reduce wasted outreach; it should not become a complicated scoring ritual.
Keep the work reviewable. A person should be able to see why the company was chosen, what was learned, and what will be sent before outreach begins.
Where Puffle fits

Frequently asked questions
What should lean B2B teams do first?
Separate a company that matches your customer profile from a person who has a real reason to care right now.
How much research is enough before outreach?
Enough to explain why the company and person are relevant and to make the message meaningfully different from a mail-merge. More facts are not useful if they do not change the outreach.
Can Puffle help with this work?
Puffle can find people, gather lead research, and prepare personalized outbound across email and LinkedIn. You review the work before anything launches.
