Creating a Lead Generation Campaign

To create a new lead generation campaign, go to Marketing → Lead Generation and press the NEW CAMPAIGN button. A step-by-step dialog will guide you through the setup.


Step 1: Name Your Campaign

Give your campaign a clear, descriptive name that reflects its purpose.
Examples: - “Find cybersecurity resellers in Germany” - “Target VARs for marketing automation in North America”

This helps you identify and manage multiple campaigns later.

Press Next.


Step 2: Product Information

Provide details about the product or service you’re promoting:

Tip: Be specific. Instead of “email security,” say “AI-powered email threat detection for mid-sized marketing agencies.”

Press Next.


Step 3: Target Market

Choose how to define your target audience:

Option 1: Let AI Specify the Target Market

Use this if you’re unsure or want Channelyze to infer the best-fit market based on your product description.

Option 2: I Will Describe the Target Market

Write a freeform description like: > “Mid-sized digital marketing agencies in Florida with 10–100 employees.”

Option 3: I Will Choose Settings to Define the Target Market

Manually select: - Industry - Company size - Geographic region

Tip: Use this for precision targeting when you already know your ideal partner profile.

Press Next.


Step 4: Target Person

Describe the job role of the person you want to reach at each company.

Examples: - “Chief Information Security Officer” - “Head of Channel Sales” - “Marketing Technology Director”

Tip: Be specific. Avoid generic titles like “Manager” unless necessary.

Press Next.


Step 5: Qualifying Prospects as Leads

Decide what happens when you convert a prospect into a lead:

Default: No Outreach Sequence

Prospects are saved as leads but no emails are sent.

Option: Enroll in Existing Sequence

Choose a pre-built outreach sequence.

Option: Create a New Sequence Using AI

Let Channelyze generate a personalized email sequence. You’ll need to provide:

Tip: Keep the tone professional but conversational. Avoid jargon unless it’s industry-specific.

Press Finish.


Step 6: Publish the Campaign

Your campaign is now in Draft mode.
To activate it: - Go to the campaign’s Actions menu - Select Publish Campaign

Channelyze will begin prospecting based on your criteria. This may take a few hours. You’ll receive an email when prospects are found.
