## Trigger Conditions

Activated when user input contains the following patterns:
- "I want to sell..."
- "Help me find customers..."
- "Analyze competitors..."
- "Discover opportunities..."

## Core Workflow

```
User Input → Config Generation → Information Collection → Lead Scoring → Data Enrichment → BD Material Generation → Output Daily Report
```

---

## Phase 1: Config Generation

After receiving user product description, perform the following steps:

### Step 1.1: Product Analysis

```
Analyze product description, extract:
- Product core functions

- Product differentiation features
```

### Step 1.2: Competitor Search

```
Search keyword patterns:
- "[Product Type] companies"
- "[Product Type] alternatives"
- "[Product Type] competitors"

Output competitor list (5-10)
```

### Step 1.3: Target Audience Inference

Based on product type, infer decision-makers:

| Industry | Competitor Examples | Target Decision-Makers | Search Keywords |
|----------|---------------------|------------------------|-----------------|

- General SaaS → VP Product, COO

### Step 1.4: Search Keyword Generation

```
Generate 3 types of keywords:
- Product keywords: [Product type related]
- Demand keywords: [Customer pain point related]
- Scenario keywords: [Use case related]
```

### Step 1.5: Competitor Sales Search

```
For each competitor, search their sales personnel:
Search syntax: site:linkedin.com "[Competitor Name]" + "Sales" OR "BD" OR "Account Executive"

Priority positions:
1. Sales Director / VP Sales
2. Business Development Manager
3. Account Executive
4. Sales Manager
5. Partnership Manager

Output sales list:
- Name

#### Priority Marking for Monitoring Results

| Priority | Standard |
|----------|----------|
| 🔥 High | Contains clear potential customer or opportunity signal |
| ⭐ Medium | Contains industry trends or indirect clues |
| 📋 Low | General information, for reference |

### Track B: Competitor Sales Connection Mining (Core Strategy)

> **This is the highest quality lead source.** Competitor sales Connections are essentially "verified potential customer pools":
> - ✅ Competitor sales have already spent time filtering these people
> - ✅ These people have been "educated" and understand this type of product
> - ✅ Some may be dissatisfied with competitors, which is an opportunity
> - ✅ Conversion rate is much higher than cold lists

#### B1. Get Competitor Sales LinkedIn

```
Method A: Read from config file (if sales_people is configured)

Method B: Auto search
  Search syntax: site:linkedin.com "[Competitor Name]" + "Sales" OR "BD" OR "Account Executive"

Priority positions:
  1. Sales Director / VP Sales
  2. Business Development Manager
  3. Account Executive
  4. Sales Manager
  5. Partnership Manager
```

#### B2. Visit Sales LinkedIn Page

```
Extract information:
- Sales name and position
- Company (confirm it's a competitor)
- Connection count
- Responsible region
- Work experience
```

#### B3. Extract Connection List

```
Traverse visible Connections:
- Name
- Position
- Company
- LinkedIn URL
- Mutual connection count
```

#### B4. Smart Filter Potential Customers

**Position Filtering Rules:**

```
Match target decision-maker position keywords:
- VP / Vice President
- Head of
- Director of
- Chief (CTO, CMO, CPO, etc.)
- Lead / Manager (specific fields)

Examples:
- VP of Product ✅
- Head of AI ✅
- Creative Director ✅
- Software Engineer ❌
- Recruiter ❌
```

**Company Filtering Rules:**

```
Match target customer profile:
- Industry match
- Size match (employee count, funding stage)
- Business model match

Exclude:
- Competitor employees
- Peer sales personnel
- Headhunters/consulting companies
```

**Match Reason Analysis:**

```
For each filtered person, analyze match reasons:
- Position fit: Why this position might be a decision-maker
- Company fit: Why this company might have demand
- Timing signal: Are there signs of recent demand
```

#### Connection Mining Output Format

| Source Sales | Potential Customer | Position | Company | Match Reason | LinkedIn | Priority |
|--------------|-------------------|----------|---------|--------------|----------|----------|
| {Sales Name}@{Competitor} | {Name} | {Position} | {Company} | {Why potential customer} | {URL} | 🔥/⭐/📋 |

**Statistics:**

```
📊 Connection Mining Statistics

Total Sales Checked: {X} people
Total Connections Scanned: {X} people
Filtered Potential Customers: {X} people
  - 🔥 High Priority: {X} people
  - ⭐ Medium Priority: {X} people
  - 📋 Low Priority: {X} people

Conversion Rate: {Filtered/Total Scanned}%

Source Distribution:
  - {Competitor 1}: {X} people
  - {Competitor 2}: {X} people
```

#### Privacy Restriction Handling

If competitor sales LinkedIn has privacy settings and Connections are not visible:

1. Try to find other sales from that competitor
2. Follow that sales' interactions (likes, comments), discover leads from interaction targets
3. Check events that sales attended, discover leads from attendees
4. Report restriction situation and adjust strategy

#### Connection Mining Notes

1. **Compliance**: Only access publicly visible Connection information
2. **Frequency Control**: Avoid too frequent access, prevent account restrictions
3. **Filtering Quality**: Quality over quantity, ensure each potential customer has clear match reason
4. **Multi-Sales Coverage**: Recommend tracking 2-3 sales per competitor to expand coverage
5. **Deduplication**: Multiple sales may have the same Connections, need deduplication

---

## Phase 3: Lead Identification and Scoring

### Step 3.1: Lead Consolidation

```
Merge leads from all sources:
- Competitor customer cases
- Companies publicly expressing demand
- Companies attending industry events
- Potential customers from Connection mining
- Funding/expanding companies

Deduplication:
- Dedupe by company name
- Keep the most complete record
- Merge information from multiple sources
```

### Step 3.2: Exclusion Filtering

```
For each lead:
  if lead.company_name in competitor_list → mark "Excluded-Competitor"
  if lead.company_name in existing_customer_list → mark "Excluded-Existing Customer"
  if lead.company_name in other_exclusion_conditions → mark "Excluded-Other Reason"
  otherwise → keep lead
```

### Step 4.5: Personality Analysis (Core Capability)

> Purpose: Based on target person's personality traits, customize the most matching communication style to improve response rate.

| Communication Style | LinkedIn posts, comments | Formal/Casual, Concise/Detailed |
| Focus Areas | Post topics, interaction content | Technical/Business/Innovation/Efficiency |

Step 3: Analyze Focus Areas
  ├── Post topic classification
  └── Most interacted topics

Step 4: Infer Decision Style
  ├── Technical background → May value data and details more
  ├── Sales/BD background → May value ROI and results more
  └── Creative background → May value innovation and experience more

Step 5: Discover Icebreaker Topics
  └── Recently shared/discussed non-work topics
```

5. CTA should be simple to execute (15-minute call, not long meetings)
6. Alternative versions can be generated for selection
7. Chinese contacts can generate bilingual Chinese-English versions

Regularly test these variables:

1. **Subject line**: Question vs Statement
2. **Opening**: Mention post vs Mention company
3. **Value point count**: 2 vs 3
4. **CTA**: Specific time vs Open time
5. **Length**: Short vs Detailed
6. **Tone**: Formal vs Casual

Track metrics:
