Overview

Prospecting is a growth/marketing skill from Corey Haines’ Marketing Skills collection (github.com/coreyhaines31/marketingskills). Prospecting skill from Corey Haines’ Marketing Skills collection. The skill is structured around practical workflows—covering Before Starting, Pick the Branch, Shared Framework (all branches), Compliance Guardrails, Inputs to Collect, Tool Selection Quick Picks—so Claude can move from context gathering to concrete artifacts (briefs, copy, checklists, or audit reports) instead of generic advice. Pair it with related skills in the same collection: `cold-email`, `competitor-profiling`, `sales-enablement`.

How to use it

1. **Trigger it with prospecting language** — mention the job by name or ask for the deliverable this skill owns. 2. **Share product context up front** — ICP, offer, URL, constraints, and any metrics. If `.agents/product-marketing.md` (or `.claude/product-marketing.md`) exists, the skill will read it first. 3. **Let it run the assessment** — answer clarifying questions before asking for final copy/strategy. 4. **Request a concrete artifact** — brief, audit, page outline, sequence, scorecard, or launch checklist. 5. **Close the loop** — feed performance data back so the next iteration compounds.

**Typical sections it covers:** Before Starting, Pick the Branch, Shared Framework (all branches), Compliance Guardrails, Inputs to Collect, Tool Selection Quick Picks, Output Formats, Quality Checks (before finalizing).

If Claude does not auto-select it, say: “Use the Prospecting skill (`prospecting`)…”.

07

Prerequisites

  • Claude Code, Claude.ai Skills, or another Agent Skills–compatible host
  • Product/brand context (ICP, offer, URLs, constraints) for grounded outputs
  • Optional: `.agents/product-marketing.md` or `.claude/product-marketing.md` in the repo
  • Permission to install third-party skills — audit SKILL.md first
  • Optional: analytics or ad-platform access when the task needs real performance data
08

Tips

  • Keep triggers specific so Prospecting fires only when that job is requested (avoids context tax).
  • Load product-marketing context (ICP, voice, offer) before asking for final copy or strategy.
  • Prefer one sharp deliverable per turn—brief, audit, or draft—then iterate with data.
  • Audit `SKILL.md` and any scripts before production use; treat community skills as code.
  • Pair with `cold-email` and `competitor-profiling` when the workflow spans channels.
