What is B2B prospecting?
B2B prospecting is the work of finding companies and people that match the customer you want to sell to - before you pitch.

B2B prospecting is how a sales team finds organizations that could become customers, and the people inside those organizations who can evaluate a purchase. It sits before pipeline: you are still choosing who is worth a conversation.
It is different from B2C prospecting because the buyer is usually a company, the decision often involves several roles, and a random list of emails is a poor substitute for a defined ideal customer profile (ICP).
What good prospecting looks like
Useful prospecting starts with a customer definition: industry, geography, size, stack, triggers and roles. Then you search, enrich, qualify and only then write. Skipping qualification produces volume without attention.
- Define the account you want
- Discover matching companies

- Qualify with evidence
- Reach out with a specific reason
