User Story: How Limnos Automates B2B Lead Generation With Linkup

Boris
COO at Linkup
Limnos is on a mission to automate B2B sales administration for industrial companies, and that automation mindset guides every part of their lead acquisition strategy. Rather than rely on static lists or shotgun cold outbound, the team embraces API‑driven lead gen to build healthier sales pipelines, faster.
The workflow below shows how Limnos cut manual sales work by 80% while improving reply rates.
Turning Strategic Targeting Into Data
Limnos doesn’t begin with a single contact; they start with a pattern that mirrors their most successful customers, a foundational step in any sustainable lead acquisition strategy.
Step 1 – Identifying strategic clusters
Using Linkup, the team surfaces clusters of companies that share meaningful traits:
Suppliers in the same product segment
Members of a specific industry group
Attendees of a recent trade show
Firms operating inside a regional industrial zone
One API call replaces hours of fragmented web searches, instantly fueling both lead gen and pipeline generation with accounts that actually matter.
Step 2 – Filtering for fit
Next, Limnos runs firmographic and technographic filters:
Headcount
Revenue band
Geographic presence
ERP platform in use
Whether the firm handles B2B distribution
The result is a laser‑focused account list that matches Limnos’ ideal customer profile, no noisy data, just high‑potential opportunities ready for B2B lead generation sequences.
Step 3 – Surfacing the right contacts
With target companies in hand, Linkup’s person‑discovery engine finds the most relevant stakeholder, usually someone in Sales Operations. Fallback logic ensures that if a “Head of Sales” isn’t present, an adjacent role like “Commercial Director” or “Business Unit Manager” is returned instead.
Step 4 – Enriching with LinkedIn profiles
Finally, Linkup appends each contact’s LinkedIn URL. That single field unlocks the context needed for personalised outreach, past roles, mutual connections, and industry tenure, dramatically boosting response rates and accelerating pipeline generation.
The Result – Fewer Tools, Better Targeting
80 % less time spent per lead list
No more scraping or LinkedIn guesswork
Better targeting, higher reply rates, and faster pipeline generation
What once required three to five disconnected platforms is now a tidy series of API calls returning clean JSON. Limnos applies the same AI‑driven efficiency that powers its product to its go‑to‑market motion, turning manual prospecting into a repeatable, scalable engine for B2B lead generation.
