Key Takeaways

Automated champion tracking turns a weekly manual task into a standing system. Paste your list once, get a Monday morning digest with anyone who moved and a ready-to-send outreach message.

The contacts who matter most in your pipeline are the ones who already know your product. Consistent monitoring means you act on their job changes within days, not months.

Combining this prompt with a pre-built re-engagement sequence means that from movement to first outreach can be under an hour, which is the window where warm outreach converts at the highest rate.

The champion check prompt tells you if one contact has moved. This prompt sets up a system that monitors your full list and reports back every week automatically. AI sales automation for champion tracking used to require a dedicated point solution and a RevOps team to wire it together. With LeadIQ MCP and Claude Cowork, you define the contact list once and get a weekly alert every time someone moves, complete with new contact info and a suggested outreach message, without running a single manual search.

The problem

The manual version of champion tracking doesn't scale. You can check five contacts. You can't check 200 on a weekly basis without a system. Most teams rely on LinkedIn notifications, which are inconsistent, or CRM alerts that only fire when someone manually updates a record. The contacts who matter most β€” champions from closed-won deals and high-value accounts β€” go unmonitored because there's no practical way to watch all of them at once. The result is a pipeline full of relationships that quietly expire.

What you need

LeadIQ MCP connected to Claude Desktop or Claude.ai, and Claude Cowork for the recurring schedule. Set it up here, takes about 5 minutes.

The play

Set up a weekly Cowork routine that runs every [day, e.g. Monday] at [time, e.g. 8am]. Using LeadIQ champion tracking, check if any of these contacts have changed jobs in the past 7 days: [paste list of contact names and their previous companies]

For anyone who has moved, return:

  • Their new company and title
  • Verified work email and direct phone number at the new company
  • A suggested 3-sentence outreach message referencing the previous relationship

Send me a summary even if no changes are detected.

Paste your champion list once and Cowork runs this check on the schedule you set. You get a summary every Monday morning whether contacts moved or not, so you're never wondering if the check ran.

What you get back

A weekly digest of champion movements: anyone who changed companies in the past 7 days, their new contact details, and a ready-to-send outreach message for each one. If no one moved, you get a confirmation. The result is automated champion tracking running in the background on every contact you care about, surfacing warm opportunities on a schedule.

Run it as a workflow

  1. Build your champion list by pulling closed-won contacts from the past 18-24 months and pasting them into the prompt
  2. Set the Cowork schedule to run weekly on Monday morning before your pipeline review
  3. Any contacts flagged as moved go straight into a re-engagement sequence β€” the outreach message is already drafted, so time from movement to first touch can be under an hour

Pair it with

  • The territory dashboard prompt to incorporate that week's champion movements into your pipeline review prep automatically
  • LeadIQ champion tracking for real-time monitoring on your most critical contacts, alongside the weekly digest for broader coverage
  • A dedicated re-engagement sequence in your sequencer pre-built for warm champion outreach, so enrollment is immediate when a contact is flagged
  • Claude Cowork + Slack to pipe the weekly digest directly into your team's Slack channel β€” useful if multiple reps are monitoring overlapping accounts, so everyone sees job changes at the same time without someone having to forward the report
  • The LeadIQ API for teams who want to build this monitoring loop into their own systems β€” CRM webhooks, custom alerting pipelines, or any workflow where you'd rather not depend on a scheduled Cowork prompt

When to run this play

  • When you have 20 or more past champions you want to monitor without checking each one manually
  • At the start of a new quarter when you want a systematic way to generate warm pipeline from your existing relationship network
  • When managing a large enterprise account where you need to track multiple contacts across the account for any movement that might affect the deal

FAQ

How many contacts can I include in the monitoring list?

‍As many as you want. For lists of 200 or more, group them by segment or territory so the weekly digest is organized by the context that matters to you.

What's the difference between this and the single champion check prompt?

‍The single check is an on-demand lookup for one contact when you have a specific reason to look. This prompt is a standing system that runs every week on your full list. Use both: the single check for ad hoc needs, this one for ongoing monitoring.

Does Claude Cowork need to be running for this to fire?

‍Yes. The scheduled routine runs through Claude Cowork, which handles the schedule and sends the weekly summary. The setup guide walks through how to configure Cowork with LeadIQ MCP.
