One of the best sources of targeting insight isn't a database, a trigger or even AI. It's your own customers. Every time you close a deal, don't just gain a client, you gain a blueprint. That client becomes a model you can use to find more companies just like them.
That's the idea behind lookalike audiences. A lookalike audience is built by taking one success story and asking who else looks like this. Let's say you close a deal with a healthcare SaaS company. Instead of moving on and chasing random new logos, you can build a lookalike list of other healthcare SaaS companies with similar headcount, similar technology stacks, maybe even similar job postings.
And here's the beauty. The message you used in that case study will often resonate with the lookalikes too. This isn't theory, it's psychology. People trust stories about companies like theirs.
When you can say we helped company X solve problem Y, and the recipient recognizes themselves in that story, the relevance is instant. It feels less like a page and more like a mirror. Lookalikes also make your outreach more efficient. Instead of reinventing the wheel for every new campaign, you can reuse and adapt messaging that's already proven to work. Each case study becomes the seed for a new audience and each audience becomes fuel for a new campaign. And just like with triggers and micro campaigns, AI can make the process easier. It can scan your closed won deals, identify patterns you might not see, like industries, technologies or hiring behaviors that repeat, and then surface other companies with the same traits.
Suddenly your pipeline isn't random anymore. It's pattern around real wins. The key idea here is that success compounds. Every customer you lend isn't just revenue, it's also a roadmap to more customers like them. So, as you build your targeting system, don't just think about who you want to sell to. Think about who you've already sold to and how you can scale that success, because on callout reads, the best way to predict the future isn't a guess, it's a lookalike.
