In this article, we will delve into how to use Apollo to supercharge your lead generation efforts.
What is data enrichment?
It’s a known fact that to connect a person, you need to tap into a subject that interests, concerns, or defines them. Naturally, when you talk about something that interests a person, they are more likely to respond. Once they do, you can move the conversation further.
That is what data enrichment helps us achieve: it enhances existing datasets by adding more information, such as demographic details, social media profiles, or other relevant data. This opens the door to crafting more effective conversion strategies. Check this article to learn more about data enrichment.
