Paste one prompt into Claude with LeadOcean connected and size your list of manufacturing VPs of Sales 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 VPs of Sales at manufacturing companies.
1. Call leadocean_list_enum_values for industry and pick the
exact string for manufacturing.
2. Call leadocean_count_leads with jobLevel VP,
jobFunction Sales & Business Development and that industry.
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
| Filter | Value |
|---|---|
| jobLevel | VP |
| jobFunction | Sales & Business Development |
| industry | Manufacturing |
Enum values are exact strings, which is why step 1 looks them up. "Manufacturing" is the broad value. Narrower strings such as Machinery Manufacturing or Plastics Manufacturing exist and are counted separately.
How many match
3,072 mailable people matched on 2 October 2026. Filters: jobLevel VP, jobFunction Sales & Business Development, industry Manufacturing.
Mailable means verified, catch_all_valid or catch_all, the count_leads default. The count is free. It is a floor for the sector, since VPs filed under narrower manufacturing strings are not in it.
The facets show 2,189 of the 3,072 are in US and 126 in CA. By company size, 628 sit at companies with 51-200 employees and 522 at 10001+. Add employeeRange before you write copy, because a VP at a 60-person shop and a VP at a global group buy differently.
What you get back
Search rows carry the fields below, plus name, email status and company domain. These are placeholder values, not real records.
| Title | Company size | Industry | Country |
|---|---|---|---|
| VP of Sales | 51-200 | Manufacturing | US |
| Vice President, Sales and Marketing | 1001-5000 | Manufacturing | CA |
| VP Sales, Industrial Products | 201-500 | Manufacturing | DE |
Variations
- Add "only companies with employeeRange 51-200 and 201-500" to reach mid-size makers where the VP still carries a number.
- Add "country US" to cut the list to the home market before you size it.
- Swap the level line for "jobLevel C-Team, title Chief Revenue Officer" to reach the layer above the VP.
