Overview
Account Segments define your ideal customer profile (ICP) criteria. Each segment describes a type of company you want to target — the requirements it must meet and the characteristics that make it an even better fit. Segments are used in prospecting motions to control which accounts receive outreach.Where segments are used
| Feature | How segments apply |
|---|---|
| Prospecting motions | Each motion targets one or more account segments, focusing outreach on companies that match |
| Account scoring | Segment criteria inform how accounts are evaluated and prioritized |
How to create a segment
- Navigate to Settings and open the Account Segments section.
- Click Add Segment.
- Fill in the fields:
- Name (required) — A descriptive label (e.g., “Mid-Market SaaS”, “Enterprise FinTech”).
- Requirements — Describe the hard criteria a company must meet to qualify for this segment. Be specific: industry, employee count, tech stack, geography, or any other firmographic or behavioral criteria.
- Nice to Haves — Describe characteristics that make a company an even stronger fit but are not required. These help the AI prioritize within the segment.
- Click Save.
