The roles are clear - now they need names. Finding the right contact person is often more difficult in SMEs than in corporations because structures are less transparent. AI helps to draw a picture from public sources and make it usable for the approach.

From title to person

Functions are derived from the stakeholder map; the search for the people behind them can be systematized. An AI can help to formulate search strategies for professional networks and company pages - without slipping into questionable data collection:

Prompt - search strategy for contact persons

I am looking for the person in the role of [COMPANY 
[ROLE, e.g. Head of Purchasing].

Suggest specific search paths (LinkedIn search filter,
terms for the company website, imprint, press area),
with which I can identify this person legally and via public
identify this person legally and via public sources.

Evaluate profiles - with a sense of proportion

Once the person has been found, AI helps to evaluate the public profile - not to screen, but to find a real point of contact:

 

Prompt - hooks from a public profile

Here is a public professional profile of a person, 
that I would like to address: [INSERT PROFILE TEXT]

Find 3 possible starting points for a relevant initial approach
initial approach (e.g. recent role, shared contribution,
company development).
Avoid platitudes like 'I see you work at X'.
Evaluate which hook is the least interchangeable
comes across.

The obligation to verify

Every name and title found by AI should be checked before being used - models guess plausibly, but not always correctly. The processing of personal data also requires a clear legal basis in accordance with the GDPR. This care not only provides legal protection; it also prevents the wrong person from being addressed in an embarrassing way.

Conclusion: People can be found via public sources and a clear search strategy - AI speeds this up, but does not replace verification. With the right name and a real hook, the stage is set for the part that decides everything: the first message.
