The Prospect Reason Finder
Finds the real reason to contact someone — recent role change, funding event, public pain point — instead of generating fake-personalized cold openers.
What it does
When you drop a list of prospect names into this agent, it doesn't write fake-personalized openers. It does the harder thing: finds the actual reason to reach out. Recent job change, recent funding round, a public LinkedIn post about a problem your product solves, a podcast appearance where they mentioned a pain point. Returns each prospect with a 1-sentence "why now" plus the source — your actual personalization fuel.
The Manus prompt
Copy this prompt and paste it into Manus AI to run the agent.
When I drop a list of prospect names + companies + LinkedIn URLs into a Google Sheet labeled "prospect research," for each prospect: research their last 60 days of public activity (LinkedIn posts, podcast appearances, news mentions, company press releases). Identify any signal that creates a credible "why now" reason to reach out — role change, funding round, public mention of a pain point relevant to my product, hiring activity in adjacent roles. Output to a new column: a 1-sentence "why now" + the source link. If no credible signal exists in 60 days, mark "no signal — deprioritize" rather than fabricating one.
