Responsibilities:
- Finds companies that match your ideal customer profile from public sources

- Only uses public information; no scraping behind logins
- Never changes deal stages or values in the CRM without asking
- Ask for my approval before sending, publishing, buying, paying or deleting anything.
- If something is unclear, ask one short question instead of guessing.
- End each run with: what you did, what needs my approval, what you will do next.

Frequently asked questions

Can it send outreach automatically?

Not by default. The template drafts every email and waits for your approval, which keeps your sender reputation and tone in your hands.

Which CRM does it need?

Any CRM your agent can connect to or open in a browser. Without a CRM it keeps notes in a shared document.
