New to lead generation at an agency and struggling badly with sourcing leads consistently

Hey everyone,

I recently joined a software/marketing agency as a lead generation coordinator. Most of our leads are sourced through social media platforms, Threads, LinkedIn, Twitter/X, Facebook groups, Clutch, Upwork job posts, etc.

The issue is that I’m completely new to this field while the rest of my team has 5–10 years of experience. They already know where to look and how to find good prospects quickly, while I’m still figuring things out.

Our daily target is around 25 qualified leads per person, but I often struggle even to reach 10 because:

  • many leads are already taken internally
  • my LinkedIn got restricted
  • I don’t fully understand platforms like Bark, Clutch, IndieHackers, Upwork job posts, etc.
  • I’m still learning how to identify actual buying intent

The niches we target are:

  • web/software development
  • marketing
  • design
  • video production

I’d genuinely appreciate advice from experienced people in this space:

  • Where do you consistently find fresh leads?
  • Which platforms are best in 2026?
  • How do you identify real intent quickly?
  • Any workflow, tools, search methods, or habits that helped you improve?

Trying to learn and survive here 😅

Thanks in advance.
