# Exclude companies and colleagues

> Your blocklist, and the colleagues of the profiles you follow.

Some people should never be your leads: your own team, your competitors' staff, your clients. TIKT sets them aside, and you don't pay for
them.

## Companies you exclude

Their employees are never charged and never shown as leads.

* During setup, TIKT proposes your competitors and your clients, ticked.
* On the **ICP** page, under **Leave out**, the companies are listed as **Competitors**, **Clients** and your company. Click
  **Manage** to add one, by pasting its LinkedIn company page, or to remove one.
* From a lead: open it on the **Leads** page and click **Exclude this company**. You can undo it on the ICP page, under
  **Leave out**.

Your own company is always excluded: everyone from the domain and the LinkedIn page set in **Settings**, under **Workspace**.

## The colleagues of the profiles you follow

People who currently work at the company of a profile you follow are not charged and stay out of your leads, whatever post they engage
on. On the **Watchlist** page, click a profile to open its panel: the line **Colleagues at** its company has a switch, on by default;
turn it off to have them charged and scored like any other engager.

Some company pages are shared by thousands of people who don't work together: TIKT doesn't treat them as colleagues.

## People to leave out

On the ICP page, under **Leave out**, you can also screen out people before scoring: **Open to work**, **Students and interns**, and
excluded titles. These people are still charged: they were processed before being screened out.

## Find them again

Leads screened out by the scoring (an exclusion or a required criterion) and leads you discarded are not deleted: on the **Leads** page,
open **Status** and choose **Screened out** or **Discarded** to see them. People screened out before scoring have no list to see.
Excluding a company on the **ICP** page acts from now on: its leads already found stay in your list. Excluding it from a lead's panel
also discards the leads you already have from it, unless you untick the box.
