Brutally honest territory prioritization for Account Execs

DeadAccount helps AEs decide which accounts deserve their time, and why. Add the territory you already own. It researches every account, buries the ones that are dead, acquired or out of fit, and gives the rest a Tier 1 to 4 verdict with a source and a date behind each finding. On Pro, you get a plan every Monday: who to work this week and why, with signals and openers tied to what you sell. Try it on 5 accounts free, no card.

I’m an enterprise AE and a lot of my prospecting starts with looking for a reason to reach out. I can burn a good chunk of Monday morning digging through account news and thinking, ok, who am I actually going after this week.
That’s what I like about DeadAccount. You give it your account list and it tells you who to work first, what changed, and the best place to start. It also shows you where it found the info and when it was published, which I appreciate. If I’m going to open an email with “saw you guys just did X” I want to make sure they actually did X and have context.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm Yousuf. I spent 20 years as an account executive at companies like Salesforce and Google, and one question followed me into every new territory: which of these accounts actually deserve my time?
Nobody hands you that answer. You get a list, and you find out one tab at a time that part of it is already dead: companies that shut down, got acquired or stopped fitting what you sell. That usually costs the first weeks of the quarter.
Dead Account makes that call with you. Add the accounts you already own and it researches each one, then shows you where your week should go and why:
- Clear priorities: every account gets a Tier 1 to 4 verdict, so you know what to work first and what to leave.
- Evidence you can check: seven agents look at each account (Graveyard, M&A, Funding, Hierarchy, Triggers, Pain and Industry). Every finding comes with a source and a date.
- Dead accounts come out: bankrupt, acquired or out-of-ICP accounts leave your working set, with the reason attached.
- A plan every Monday, on Pro: who to work this week and why, plus signals and openers tied to what you sell. Up to 25 accounts are reinvestigated each week, so your priorities move when the evidence does.
- Questions only the buyer can answer: where the evidence ends, you get three discovery questions for the call.
Built for AEs who own a territory. A version for sales teams is coming soon.
What it is not: it doesn't guarantee pipeline. It helps you decide where your time goes. The selling is still yours.
Try it on your own book: the first 5 account investigations are free, no card. The first 50 paying customers get Pro at $49.99 a month, locked for 12 months (regular price $99).
Question for the sellers here: when you inherit a new territory, how do you decide which accounts get your first week?
The DeadAccount team is in the comments all day.
the scary part is a false dead call, an AE won't touch that account again for the whole quarter
@igorblink Fair worry, and it’s the one we think about most. That’s why a dead call never comes without a reason, and every finding has a source and a date you can check. If it says acquired or shut down, you can see where that came from in one click. On Pro, accounts get reinvestigated every week, so when the evidence changes, the verdict changes with it. A false dead call should be easy to catch, not something you quietly lose a quarter to.
Proud to be part of the team behind this one. What I’ve seen up close while working on DeadAccount is how much effort goes into making every verdict checkable. If an account is marked dead, acquired, or out of fit, you can see why, with the source and date right next to it. If you sell into a named territory, run your 5 free investigations on the accounts you’re least sure about. That’s where it shows its value fastest.
Before growth, I sold staffing solutions. Different world from enterprise territories, but the same feeling: a list of companies, a target, and no idea which ones were still worth the call. Watching the team build this, I kept thinking how much of my week back then went into finding that out the slow way.
Question for the sellers here: before you spend real time on an account, what’s the one thing you check first?
