Questions about this recipe
Where do outbound agencies get phone numbers for cold calling?
Give an agency's BDRs scored, callable lists for each client market so connect rates hold across clients. Agency clients get booked meetings from higher pickup rates across every market.
What does it cost to build dialer-ready call lists for an outsourced BDR team?
People search: people search 1 credit per request and people search: role details 1 credit per request, charged whether or not data comes back. Mobile numbers: 15 credits per mobile number found, and a mobile number lookup that finds nothing costs 0 credits. Person enrichment: 1 credit per request, charged whether or not data comes back. Growth's 8,250 monthly credits cover 550 mobiles or 8,250 search requests, or a mix. Self-serve plans are Starter, Growth, Pro and Scale. See plans and prices
What do I need to run this recipe, and what comes back?
You send client ICP, persona titles and territory. You get back call list, dial order and phone_number, as JSON. You also need a Forager API key, which comes with a free account.
How can an appointment-setting agency raise connect rates across different client markets?

Is there a free way to try Forager on this workflow?
Yes. Create a free account at app.forager.ai: it comes with $5 in free credits and an API key, and there is no credit card to sign up. Run it on records you already know, or book a demo and send us a list: we run it and show you what we find.
When should I run this workflow?
An agency onboards a new client or market. Agency clients get booked meetings from higher pickup rates across every market.
Which Forager products does this recipe use?
People search, mobile numbers and person enrichment. People search: find the people who hold a role at target companies, filtered by title, seniority, department and location. Mobile numbers: direct mobile numbers for a person, from a LinkedIn URL or a Forager person ID, validated before they reach you.
How do you check data quality?
Forager ranked #1 of 10 in Clay's 2026 test of mobile data providers, by quality score: Clay's measure of how likely a dialled number reaches the right person. The test that counts is your own: send a list of profiles you care about. We run it and show you what we find, number by number, so you can measure hit rate and connect rate yourself.
Which tools can run this workflow?
Native in Clay and Zapier, partner-built in Deepline and Cargo and called through the API from your own code, Make and n8n. Or call the endpoints in the steps above from your own code with one API key.
How many steps is this workflow?
4 steps: translate the client ICP into POST /person_role_search/ queries, fetch mobiles via POST /person_contacts_lookup/phone_numbers/ (Gold for quality, Silver for reach), score and order numbers before calling and report connect rate and meetings per client.
Is there a contract or minimum commitment?
No contract to start: a free account comes with $5 in credits. To keep using Forager, choose a monthly or yearly plan. Monthly plans cancel anytime and unused credits roll over; yearly plans grant all credits upfront and cost 10% less. Larger volumes are agreed with our team.
Where does Forager data come from, and is it compliant?
