Claude Prompt: Find Engineering Managers at Manufacturers

Paste one prompt into Claude with LeadOcean connected and size a list of manufacturing engineering managers before you spend a single record. Connect the server at https://api.leadocean.io/mcp first. Setup is on the MCP page.

The prompt

Find engineering managers at manufacturing companies in the United States.
1. Call leadocean_list_enum_values for industry and pick the
   exact string for manufacturing.
2. Call leadocean_count_leads with title Engineering Manager,
   jobLevel Manager, that industry and country US.
3. Tell me the count and the filters you used.
4. Do not call leadocean_search_leads until I say go.

What it resolves to

Industry values are exact strings, which is why step 1 looks them up. "Manufacturing" is the broad value. Narrower strings such as Machinery Manufacturing or Automation Machinery Manufacturing exist and are counted separately.

How many match

1,788 mailable people matched on 2 October 2026. Filters: title Engineering Manager, jobLevel Manager, industry Manufacturing, country US.

Mailable means verified, catch_all_valid or catch_all, the count_leads default. The count is free. The size breakdown is top heavy: 1,352 of the 1,788 sit at companies with 1,001 or more employees, and 295 at companies with 500 or fewer. Add employeeRange before you write copy, because a manager at a 100-person shop and one at a 10,000-person group buy differently. The count is a floor for the industry, since managers filed under narrower manufacturing strings are not in it.

What you get back

Search rows carry the fields below, plus name, email status and company domain. These are placeholder values, not real records.

Variations

• Add "employeeRange 51-200 and 201-500" to reach plants where one manager still signs off on tooling.
• Swap title for "Manufacturing Engineering Manager" or "Plant Engineering Manager" and ask Claude to count again.
• Replace industry Manufacturing with "Automation Machinery Manufacturing" and count again.

Records it spends

The count and enum lookups are free. leadocean_search_leads costs 1 record per person returned, so a limit of 25 costs 25 records. Ask Claude to confirm the cost with you before it runs the search. Free gives you 1,000 records one-off with no card. Pro is $499 a month. See pricing.
