More leads, more prospects, and more buyers: the goal (and dream) of every salesperson, right?
Yes, but the process of guiding your lead and prospect through your digital marketing funnel and transforming them into buyers can be lengthy and complex.
Do you know what can help you? A great sales prospecting tool.
These are handy little tools that (almost always) integrate with your CRM solution and help you identify potential prospects in a fast, easy, and reliable way.
In this article, we’re going to reveal a whopping 15 of our favorite platforms to support you in finding more (and better) prospects in a smarter, more efficient way.
1. FindThatLead
The way FindThatLead works is as easy as its very name.
Simply type in the domain name that you are interested in, and you will instantly receive a list of email addresses that are associated with that domain.
Alternatively, you can install the extension for Google Chrome and use that to search for an email address without even leaving your browser. How easy is that?
2. LinkedIn Sales Navigator
With LinkedIn Sales Navigator, you can use your standard LinkedIn account to pore over the platform’s ever-expanding user base.
We are talking about more than 600 million professionals: a pretty huge range of opportunities.
You can use the network’s advanced search options to find new leads, as well as let the Sales Navigator tool find them for you.
With Sales Navigator, you can also get important updates about the accounts that you are targeting, including press releases or job and career changes.
Another exciting plus? LinkedIn Sales Navigator seamlessly integrates with a wide selection of CRM platforms. This means that you can save all your lead and account searches literally at the touch of a button.
3. Skrapp
There are lots of email lookup tools out there, but Skrapp is a bit different.
This platform, in fact, helps you search specifically for the email addresses of people with a corresponding LinkedIn account.
And if you use the extension for Google Chrome, you can even visit someone’s LinkedIn profile and find out which email address they used to create their account.
Lastly, Skrapp also saves you quite a lot of time by letting you save your leads in lists, so you never lose track of them.
4. Mention
With Mention, you can take your sales prospecting game a lot further than simply looking up email addresses and LinkedIn accounts.
Mention, in fact, is first of all a media monitoring tool that keeps tracking all the — you’ve guessed it — mentions of a brand or keyword.
By using Mention, you can discover what your prospects — as well as other people — have been saying about you, your products, and your services online.
Another great feature of Mention is that it can be used profitably by both sales and marketing teams.
As a salesperson, you can communicate with your marketing counterparts who are using Mention and harness that information to qualify leads and prospects — and you won’t even need to purchase the paid version of the tool.
5. HubSpot Sales
Who, in the sales and marketing universe, doesn’t know about HubSpot? Well, it might also be interesting to know that the platform also offers a sales prospecting tool, called HubSpot Sales.
This is an incredibly popular tool to manage and track emails, and is used by ever-growing numbers of salespeople around the globe.
HubSpot Sales is part of HubSpot’s CRM platform, and it lets you set up and arrange custom email templates and email sequences, as well as track your email open and click-through rates, and automate some of your daily sales tasks.
6. Overloop
Overloop gives you a pretty clever way to find leads (and their contact details), create drip campaigns, and automate follow-ups.
With the extension for Google Chrome, you can search for lead emails through LinkedIn or specific website domains.
Got your list all built? Right, now you can keep using the tool to build your campaigns and follow up with your leads.
One last bonus: Overloop can easily integrate with a range of CRM platforms, which in turn helps you save time and effort when collecting and collating data and information.
