Finding your market
How should I segment a B2B prospect list?
Segment by differences that should change the message or the offer. Useful dimensions include the problem, business model, company size, language, region, and stage of interest. Avoid creating dozens of tiny groups that all receive the same email. Every segment should have a clear reason for existing and a distinct research question.
How to approach it
- Choose the business problem before the demographic filters.
- Keep language preferences separate from geographic guesses.
- Review response quality for each segment.
A manufacturer coordinating supplier documents and an agency organizing client briefs may both need automation. They still need different examples because the work, vocabulary, and purchasing concerns differ.
