Build a prospect list

Go from an idea of your ideal customer to a checked list of people to contact.

Written by Tomba.io Team

Turn an idea of your ideal customer into a checked list of people to contact. You find companies in Reveal, get their emails with a bulk search, verify them, then save the people you want. A bulk runs one tool on a whole list at once.

Before you start

Most Reveal filters, Reveal AI search and export are limited on the Free plan, so this guide works best on a paid plan. See What you get on the Free plan.

Build your list

Step 1. Open Reveal in the left menu. Describe the companies you want in the AI search box, or start with the filters on the left.

Step 2. Narrow the results with filters such as Industry, Size and Headquarters location. Reveal searches again as soon as you change a filter. Use Save and Load to keep your searches.

💡 Tip: Each new search with results uses 1 search credit, so decide on your filters before you set them.

Step 3. Tick the companies you want, at least two, and select Find email addresses. In the window, choose your Departments, such as Sales or Marketing, and set Maximum email addresses per domain. Tick Notify me when ready to get an email when your file is ready. Check Estimated search credits needed, then select Start Search.

💡 Tip: To use every company in your results, select Find emails for all results instead. It needs a paid plan and covers up to 10,000 companies. It also uses 1 search credit per 50 companies as soon as you start. The emails are still charged on your first download.

Step 4. When the search finishes, the Ready to download card shows what your first download will use. Select Download CSV. A CSV is a simple spreadsheet file. You can come back to it later under Domain Search in Bulks.

Step 5. Verify the list, so you only keep addresses that work. Clean a list before a campaign shows you how.

Step 6. Save the people you want to Leads, your saved contacts in Tomba. Select New lead to add someone, or Save as lead next to an email in Domain Search results.

💳 Credits: Each Reveal search with results uses 1 search credit. The emails are charged on your first download: 1 search credit for every 10 emails found at a company. Verifying uses 1 verification credit per email.

Common questions

How do I know what my list will cost?

The Find email addresses window shows an estimate before you start. When the search finishes, the bulk page shows the exact number your first download will use. The emails aren't charged until you download, and you only pay for what was found.

How long do my results last?

Results last 180 days from the day the bulk is created. Only your first download is charged, so you can download the file again for free during that time.

Can I add phone numbers?

Yes. Tick Include Phone Numbers in the window. Each email with a phone number adds 5 search credits, so leave it off unless you plan to call.
