Big employers near my office, and who runs it
The biggest employers around your office, with their office and facilities managers, in Slack.
What it does
Every month: the offices and business parks within 2 km of your office, sized with Apollo’s company details, the 20 biggest employers first, and their office and facilities managers from your Apollo account, posted to your sales channel.
In one sentence: Monthly on the 1st at 08:00, find corporate offices, business parks and coworking spaces within 2 km of a point, add their company details from Apollo, sort them by company_employees and keep the top 20, find the Office Manager, Facilities Manager and Head of People with Apollo, then send message to a channel in Slack and email the list to you.
Why it is useful
The companies next door are the easiest accounts to serve and visit. This flow sizes them with Apollo and names who runs the office, so the team knows who to call first.
Who it is for

The time it saves
Monthly on the 1st at 08:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 90 minutes each time; it runs about 1 time a month, so it saves about 2 hours a month (an estimate). It is medium: 7 blocks.
