50 targets identified and enriched (role, size, sector, area). 47 professional targets identified; profiles to be checked manually by the salesperson, 3 duplicates set aside. A first approach written for each one, personalised from their recent news (funding rounds, hiring, product launches).
Automated email sequence + LinkedIn tasks prepared for manual execution — the information notice and opt-out are built in, for approval.

Launch the sequence and follow up those who do not reply, but stop at once as soon as anyone asks not to be contacted again.
Sequence live. Follow-ups scheduled at day 3 and day 7 according to behaviour (opens, clicks, replies). Automatic opt-out: any request to unsubscribe stops that person immediately and removes them from the list, in line with the GDPR.

✦ In brief

A Blue Lemon Agent outbound prospecting agent automates the search, the qualification and the email approach to your B2B prospects, and prepares the LinkedIn tasks your salesperson carries out personally. It personalises every message, follows up at the right moment and records the appointments in your CRM. It runs on local inference or is hosted in France: your prospect lists never pass through a foreign server, architecture designed to reduce exposure to extraterritorial legislation, location alone not being enough to guarantee immunity. The result: more qualified appointments for the same sales effort. Live in 1 to 2 weeks, with systematic human oversight. Your teams write to it from Microsoft Teams, Slack or their email, and your customers reach it on WhatsApp Business, your website chat or email — with no account to create and nothing to install. These connections are included in every plan, at no extra cost, within the number of connections your level includes.

The context

Why AI prospecting matters to B2B teams — and why they hesitate

Growth depends on a steady flow of qualified contacts. But your salespeople lose precious time on searching and following up — and American prospecting tools route your prospect lists through foreign servers.

! The issue

Your salespeople are caught between an appointment target that never comes down and repetitive tasks — finding targets, writing, following up — that eat into their selling time. Yet most sales automation tools amount to entrusting your prospect lists, your messages and your contact data to a third party, often hosted outside Europe and subject to the Cloud Act.

Our answer

AI prospecting is only of interest if it is sovereign, compliant and responsible by design. Local inference or an isolated resource hosted in France, legitimate interest as the lawful basis, one-click opt-out, systematic human oversight: time gained at the top of the funnel is never paid for in lost confidentiality. The aim is not to replace the salesperson, but to give them back time to sell.

The decisive point

Your prospect lists: sovereignty & GDPR compliance

B2B prospecting processes personal data. Here is how the architecture of our agents protects it — and how the agent prospects responsibly.

Local inference

The agent can run on a machine belonging to the company: no prospect list leaves the network, nothing passes through a cloud.

Hosting in France

Otherwise, a dedicated and isolated resource, hosted in France under French law — your prospecting data: processing and access within the European Union targeted by the architecture.

Reduced extraterritorial exposure

Architecture designed to reduce exposure to extraterritorial legislation, location alone not being enough to guarantee immunity.

GDPR-responsible prospecting

To a business address: legitimate interest as the lawful basis, an information notice and one-click unsubscribe (opt-out), in line with the French data protection authority's guidance. To a natural person, the agent applies prior agreement.

Encryption & controlled access

Encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access (RBAC), strong authentication and logging.

AI Act: governed deployment

The agent is strictly in support; no appointment or sensitive send is approved automatically; traceability and human oversight from end to end.

What depends on the architecture chosen These points are not general guarantees: they are settled deployment by deployment, in the quotation.

  • The applicable location is that of the architecture set out in the quotation and verified before commissioning.
  • Local execution is announced only for the configuration explicitly described and accepted in the quotation.
  • The applicable isolation depends on the deployment mode set out in the quotation; no dedicated isolation is presumed.
  • The encryption mechanisms in transit and at rest, their components and key management are those documented for the architecture chosen.
  • Roles and permissions are configured and accepted for the identities and systems actually connected.
  • The events logged, their content, their retention period and who may access them are defined for the deployment chosen.
The agent does not prospect private individuals without an appropriate lawful basis, and it never works around the GDPR: consent, opt-out and information are built in by design. Designed for deployment in line with the GDPR and the AI Act, after the processing, roles and context-specific risks have been assessed.
Demonstration

4 real situations, taken from those that come up most often. Pick one: the exchange unfolds as it would in your organisation.

A scripted demonstration. These exchanges show how the agent behaves — its sources, its refusals, what it leaves to your teams. Nothing is sent from this page, no model is queried here, and the matters named are fictional. That is precisely what we promise your data.
The behaviours shown here — monitoring, automation rules, routing and reminders — are configured with you during deployment, from your tools, your rules and your thresholds.
The architecture points named in these exchanges — location, local execution, isolation, encryption, role-based access, logging — are not a guarantee attached to the demonstration: they are those of the architecture set out in your quotation, and verified before commissioning.

This company, its figures and the exchanges that follow were invented for the demonstration. They illustrate a common situation; they describe no real client.

Prospecting agent · hosted in France
I reread your three years of CRM overnight — 42 clients signed, 380 opportunities lost. Three characteristics clearly separate the two groups, and you barely prospect any of them.
What your signed clients have in common:
· Software vendors and digital-services firms, 20 to 80 staff. Above 250, zero signings in three years — 34 attempts, all lost at procurement stage.
· A dated fact less than 90 days old at first contact: a funding round, a new office, or an announced sales hire. Present in 31 of the 42 signed, in 68 of the 380 lost.
· The contact was the sales lead, not the CEO. CEO approached first: 96-day cycle. Sales lead: 41 days.
What that gives: when all three line up, you sign 1 in 4. When none do, 1 in 22. Yet 71 % of last quarter's sends went to companies ticking none of them.
My proposal: I make those three criteria your ideal-customer profile, and I only bring you companies that tick at least two. Approve it and I'll build the list. ideal-customer-profile_42-signings.pdf1 in 4 against 1 in 22
⛓ Sourced · CRM (3 years), 42 won deals, 380 lost, cycle lengths
The "funding or hiring" signal — where do you find it? And it ages fast.
On public, dated sources, and I sweep them every week — it is precisely because it ages fast that this has to run continuously.
Where I look: company press rooms and releases, their own “We're hiring” pages, public funding announcements, company registers for headcount and locations. Every fact is stored with its page and the date I consulted it — that is what will let me tell the prospect where I got it, in the very first message.
What I propose to keep running: every Monday morning, I bring you the companies that entered the profile since the previous week. A fact older than 90 days drops out on its own: a funding round from eight months ago opens no doors.
What I rule out before even showing you the list: your current clients, accounts your salespeople are already negotiating, and anyone on the unsubscribe register. A prospect contacted twice through two channels does more damage than a prospect not contacted at all.
What I need from you: do you approve these three criteria, or would you like me to test a fourth — for instance the use of a competing CRM, which is publicly detectable?
Approved on all three. Build the list.
500 companies, each scored 0 to 100, and I'll tell you where to start.
How the score is built: 40 points for the dated fact and how fresh it is, 30 for size and sector match, 30 for an identified sales lead. The score isn't an opinion: every point maps to a verifiable line.
What the list gives: 120 companies above 70, 200 between 40 and 70, 180 below.
What each line carries: the company, headcount, the dated fact and its source, the role targeted, the address and its type — generic or named, the page where I found it and the date. No line without an origin: that is what makes the prospecting defensible, and it is also what makes the message credible.
My recommendation: open on the 120 above 70, and keep the middle 200 as a comparison group. If both bands give the same result, your score is worthless and I rebuild it. The bottom 180 I suggest leaving alone for now.
Next step: I write the sequence. I only send it after you've read it. targeted-list_500-scored-prospects.pdf120 above 70, every line sourced

AI model: none of the AI models offered currently carries a fixed surcharge. When the selected model carries a cost, that cost is shown when you choose it, before you order, and re-invoiced at the cost incurred, with no mark-up; usage is billed at the publisher's price. Publishers' prices are published in US dollars: the amount re-invoiced is the amount in euros actually borne by Blue Lemon Agent on the publisher's invoice, at that invoice's exchange rate, with no commission or mark-up.
Included components and additional components Components included in the base offer: the Blue Lemon Agent software foundation, the AI models listed in the order journey, the standard channels (Microsoft Teams, Slack, WhatsApp Business, email, website chat, calendars, Microsoft 365 / Google Workspace, file storage, market VoIP telephony, professional social-media pages and accounts, Google Business Profile), hosting in France for the package chosen, backups, supervision, updates and support. If adapting the AI agent to your constraints, your needs or your requests requires other paid components — a third-party publisher's software licence, paid API access to one of your applications, hosting of health data, for which French law requires an HDS-certified host (art. L. 1111-8 of the French Public Health Code), SecNumCloud-qualified hosting, a speech synthesis service, particular hardware —, they are offered to you as an option or on quotation and re-invoiced at the cost incurred; nothing is committed without your written agreement. Where the artificial intelligence model you choose entails an additional cost, that cost is shown to you before you order and re-invoiced to you at the cost incurred, with no margin.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions, our answers

Does the agent connect to LinkedIn?
<strong>No, and that is an operating rule, not a technical limitation.</strong> From your CRM and from sources whose reuse is permitted, the agent identifies the relevant companies, qualifies the targets, prepares a personalised approach and creates the follow-up tasks. It does not connect to LinkedIn, does not extract profiles and performs no automated visit, invitation, post, message or follow-up.<br><br>For each contact, the salesperson searches for and checks the recipient personally, adapts the suggested text, then carries out the action themselves in the LinkedIn or Sales Navigator interface. Follow-up reminders and CRM updates are automated.<br><br>LinkedIn's own automated features — advertising, posting, CRM synchronisation or Page messaging — are used only through officially authorised interfaces, APIs or partners and within the limits of their scope. This arrangement avoids any unauthorised LinkedIn automation; LinkedIn's rules on invitations, spam and contact limits still apply.
How does the GDPR apply to AI sales prospecting?
Yes, where it targets businesses, rests on legitimate interest, informs the recipient and allows a simple withdrawal (opt-out); to a natural person, prior agreement applies. Our agent is configured accordingly: an information notice, handling of unsubscribes, and data hosted in France, with the deployment objective of processing and access operated within the European Union and an architecture designed to reduce exposure to extraterritorial legislation, location alone not being enough to guarantee immunity.
Does the agent replace my salespeople?
No. It takes on the top of the funnel — the search, the first contacts and the follow-ups, repetitive tasks that eat up time — to free your salespeople for what creates value: detailed qualification and closing. The agent assists, the human decides.
On which channels does the agent prospect?
Email, as an automated sequence, with appointments recorded and your CRM updated automatically (HubSpot, Pipedrive, Sellsy and others). LinkedIn is handled <strong>in assisted mode</strong>: the agent prepares the message and the task, your salesperson carries out the action personally in the interface. The agent never connects to LinkedIn.
How long before the agent is operational?
Allow around one to two weeks between the scoping and the go-live of the first prospecting segment, including training the team. Steering goes through a private web dashboard, with no software to install; your sales people themselves talk to the agent from Microsoft Teams, Slack or their email.
Are my prospect lists protected?
Yes. Your prospect lists are sensitive: our agents run locally within the company or are hosted in France, with the deployment objective of processing and access operated within the European Union and an architecture designed to reduce exposure to extraterritorial legislation, location alone not being enough to guarantee immunity.
What saving of time can I expect?
As an illustration, for a team of 3 salespeople each spending around 10 hours a week on prospecting, the agent can take over something in the order of 70% of that load while increasing the volume of contacts. These are indicative figures, to be confirmed by a pilot on your own data.
Who may be prospected, and through which channel?
Two regimes, which the agent applies separately. In writing — e-mail, SMS, message — to a named business address at a company, it is enough to inform the recipient and to offer a simple, free way to refuse in every message. To a natural person, prior agreement is required, unless you collected their details in the course of a sale and are offering a similar product or service (French Post and Electronic Communications Code, art. L. 34-5). In both cases the sender’s identity may never be concealed, nor the subject line unrelated to the offer. By telephone: the agent does not make prospecting calls, it works in writing. Should you add them, bear in mind that from 11 August 2026 calling a consumer requires their prior agreement, and the burden of proving it falls on you (French Consumer Code, art. L. 223-1). In every case, each written message carries an opt-out — a simple, immediate, free STOP that is never made conditional — the objection is recorded and then honoured on every later send, and prospecting messages stay within the sending windows set by the profession's current charter, avoiding Sundays and public holidays.
Which tools can people use to talk to the agent?
The ones you already use. Internally, your teams write to it from Microsoft Teams, Slack or by email, just as they would to a colleague: nothing to install, nothing to learn. On the customer side, the agent answers on WhatsApp Business, your website chat and email — your customers reach you where they already write, with no account to create. You keep control from a web dashboard. These connectors rely on open standards, including the MCP protocol; they are included in every plan, at no extra cost, within the number of connections your level includes, and the catalogue grows at no extra cost. Only the fees charged by the platforms themselves — WhatsApp Business bills per conversation, and the gateway bills the text messages sent — are passed on at actual cost, with no margin, outside the subscription.
Can the agent notify my contacts by text message?
Yes, as an option. The agent uses a text message to notify what has been agreed: a booked meeting, a document sent, a follow-up announced. For prospecting, text messages follow the two regimes set out above and always carry an opt-out. A text message is an outbound notification channel, not a conversation channel: no one writes back to the agent there — the conversation stays on WhatsApp Business, your website chat or email. The message announces without detailing, it carries your registered sender name, and it never contains a payment link, a login or a password: the recipient reaches your account area the way they usually do. Delivery goes through a gateway established in the European Union; the messages sent are passed on to you at actual cost, with no margin, and the channel itself is an optional module, set out on the pricing page.
