Automated lead generation system built with n8n that transforms LinkedIn into a powerful prospecting engine. Extract, validate, and organize high-quality leads based on custom search parameters, delivering qualified contacts directly to Google Sheets for immediate outreach.

B2B sales teams and agencies face significant obstacles in lead generation:

Manual Prospecting is Time-Consuming - Hours spent searching LinkedIn profiles one by one

Inconsistent Data Quality - Incomplete or outdated contact information

No Centralized System - Leads scattered across notes, spreadsheets, and memory

Missed Opportunities - Can't scale outreach without scalable lead identification

Low Conversion Rates - Reaching out to unqualified prospects wastes time
