# Outreach list building - Veezee

Outreach list building turns an ICP or role spec into a ranked prospect list: who to contact, why they fit, and what to open with. The sales counterpart to [candidate sourcing](/use-cases/candidate-sourcing).

## Recipe

1. Try a handful of prospects free: mint a key (`POST /v1/keys/mint`, no body) under a shared budget of 200 credits per IP per day. A real list with enrichment per prospect needs more; buy a key at [/upgrade](/upgrade), checkout credits the same key.
2. `linkedin_search_people`: turn the ICP into filters (`title`, `keywords`, `current_company`, `past_company`, `school`), `limit: 30`. One larger call beats several small pages. Cost: 12 credits.
3. `linkedin_get_profile`: enrich the top 10 with `sections: ["experience", "about"]`; the first two sections are included in the base price. Cost: 40 credits for 10.
4. `linkedin_get_company`: firmographic context per distinct company (industry, size, what they do), the raw material for a specific hook. Cost: 4 credits per company.
5. `linkedin_get_posts` on the strongest prospects: one page each is usually enough to spot a recent topic worth referencing in an opener. Cost: 4 credits per prospect.

Every opener line must trace to data a call actually returned: a post topic, a role change, a company fact. No returned hook means "no recent hook found", not an invented one.

## Total cost

104 credits for one search at limit 30, 10 profile enrichments, 8 company lookups, and 5 post pulls.

## Limits worth knowing

- No contact details, ever: Veezee returns LinkedIn profile data, never emails or phone numbers, and sends nothing on your behalf.
- Skip `is_anonymous: true` results; a private profile cannot be enriched. Count it as "match found, profile private" if the ICP's size matters.
- A third or fourth profile section adds 2 credits per section per call; on a long list that multiplies fast.
- A company NAME filter caps the search limit; pass the numeric id from `linkedin_get_company` to use `limit: 30`.
