How to Generate Inbound Leads With Claude

Inbound leads come from people who already match your buyer and see your content. This prompt builds that audience: who to invite, who to retarget, who to name in a webinar. Connect https://api.leadocean.io/mcp first. Setup is on the MCP page.

The prompt

I am running a webinar for US marketing leaders at software companies
with 51 to 200 employees. Build the invite list.
1. Call leadocean_list_enum_values for job_level, job_function,
   employee_range and industry. Use the exact strings.
2. Call leadocean_count_leads with VP and Director marketing leaders
   at those companies. Tell me the count and the filters you used.
3. Wait for my go. Then call leadocean_search_leads with the same
   filters and limit 25.
4. Return a table: title, company size, industry, country.

What it resolves to

Enum values are exact strings, so step 1 looks them up. A wrong string returns nothing. "Marketing leaders" resolves to jobFunction Advertising & Marketing, not a title keyword, so demand generation, content and brand titles land in one filter. Software Development is one of seven software industry values. Add Computer Software for a wider list.

How many match

2,174 mailable people match on 2 October 2026. Filters: jobLevel VP and Director, jobFunction Advertising & Marketing, employeeRange 51-200, industry Software Development, country US.

Mailable means verified, catch_all_valid or catch_all, the default for leadocean_count_leads. The count is free.

What you get back

Each row carries the fields below. These are placeholder values, not real records.

Variations

• Swap the audience for "Directors of Sales Development" and set jobFunction to Sales & Business Development.
• Change country to GB and employeeRange to 201-500, then count again before searching.
• Add "also return email_status" so you invite only addresses that are safe to send to.

Records it spends

The count gates the spend. You see the list size before any record is used.

The enum lookups and the count are free. leadocean_search_leads costs 1 record per person returned, so limit 25 costs 25 records. Free gives you 1,000 records one-off with no card. Pro is $499 a month. See pricing.
