Start with the Campaign Builder
Head over to AiSDR's Campaign Builder.
Choose Live AI database.
Open People Search
In Cold Outreach → Live AI choose People Search (recommended for most use-cases).
Write the Audience clause
Start with a plain-language description such as “decision makers in marketing”. No Boolean needed—Live AI understands synonyms and related titles.Add Firmographics
Layer on company qualifiers: sector (“B2B SaaS”), headcount (“under 200 employees”), geography (“United States” or drill down to states/cities), revenue, funding stage, etc.Inject a Signal
Add one or more buying triggers, e.g.
• hiring for SDR roles
• recently raised Series A
• new Head of Sales in the last 90 days
• using HubSpot CRM
Click Search
Live AI breaks your prompt into structured criteria and searches all connected data sources and the public web

Best Practice Tips
Be precise, not verbose – clarity beats length.
Use numbers (“<200 employees”, “>$5 M ARR”) where possible.
Stack multiple signals to boost relevance.
Refresh prompts quarterly to reflect shifts in ICP or product positioning.
Leverage negative signals (“exclude companies using Salesforce”) by adding “not using …”.
