List Building
Listing building can be considered a suite of tools that provide you with invaluable information on potential prospects. This tool will account for an abundance of what is offered on this platform.
You will be able to get the right message to the right person faster and more efficiently with great features, such as:
- Email Finder, which allows you to find emails in seconds using automation.
- Chrome Extension that allows you to use Google Chrome to find information on prospects when you’re on their websites. You can also use social networks to find information on a prospect.
- Email Verifier is one of the most versatile and important tools on the platform. This tool allows you to verify emails in real-time. You never have to send a message before ensuring that the email is deliverable and being sent to the appropriate prospect.
But it is also hard to keep all of your contact information in one place. You will be able to organize information in lists, use smart segments, create custom fields and also create exclusion lists.
Prospect.io’s segmentation is a highly customizable option to send personalized messages to each prospect. Prospects never have to feel as if you’re mass mailing them when smart segmentation is in place.
If there’s a prospect or company that you do not want to contact in the future, you can add it to the exclusion list to ensure no one in your company ever reaches out to them again.
Outbound
Prospects require a lot of nurturing for them to go from a lead to a sale. Prospect.io allows you to remain persistent with their outbound tools. You’ll be able to use great tools to:
- Create multi-touch drip campaigns, which include emails, calls and different actions to help automate your work and boost productivity.
- Use variables and templates for your email to provide truly customized emails, including the person’s first name, last name and company name as well as other information that you may want to include for optimal personalization.
- Automate your mailbox by connecting directly to your email account. You can start sending emails on your own account or on behalf of your colleagues if you’re sharing sending email addresses. The platform supports: Gmail, Microsoft Office 365, Microsoft Exchange and SMTP/IMAP servers.
If you use Salesforce or LinkedIn, you’ll be able to connect directly to both of these platforms without ever having to leave your CRM.
