What are the ICP Filters in Spear? (MA)

May 12, 2026
5 min read

ICP filters are the parameters defined within each campaign. They determine which companies and prospects Samplead will suggest based on your target profile.

Samplead uses these filters to:

  • Identify relevant companies
  • Match the right prospects within those companies
  • Prioritize prospects based on strong triggers
  • Automatically exclude irrelevant segments

⚠️ Prerequisite: At least one campaign must be created before setting up filters.

💡 Note: Not all filters are required. Start broad and refine as Samplead learns from your approvals and denials.
