## Overview

Point at a champion who worked out and find more people like them. Find Similar Contacts takes one person and returns a ranked list of others with a comparable professional profile, matching on job function, seniority, industry, and the kind of company they work at. Scope it to a single company to find someone's counterpart there, or leave it open to surface matches across many organizations.

## What You'll Get

A ranked list of comparable people. Each result carries:

- Name
- Job title
- Company
- ZoomInfo contact ID

Email addresses and phone numbers come from [Enrich Contacts](/docs/mcp/tools/enrich-contacts).

## Best For

- Building a persona list from a champion who converted
- Finding one person's counterpart at a different company
- Extending outbound into a role you have already sold to
- Rebuilding coverage after a contact changes jobs

If you can already describe the persona in filters, [Search Contacts](/docs/mcp/tools/search-contacts) gives you more direct control. To find comparable companies rather than people, use [Find Similar Companies](/docs/mcp/tools/find-similar-companies).

## How It Works

**ZoomInfo Data**

Similarity is scored across:

- Job function
- Seniority level
- Industry
- Company characteristics

Scoping to a company answers the question "who is the equivalent of this person over there." Leaving it unscoped ranks the closest matches wherever they work.

## Technical Details

### Credits

Free. Find Similar Contacts consumes no bulk data credits. See [Credits & Billing](/docs/mcp/credits).

### Automatic Tool Selection

The AI reaches for this tool when you name a person and ask for others like them, usually while building a persona list for prospecting. It may chain into [Enrich Contacts](/docs/mcp/tools/enrich-contacts) when you need email and phone.
