How to Use a B2B Contact Intelligence Tool Effectively

❓ The Problem: You’ve got names, but no useful data

A CSV of email addresses isn’t enough anymore.

You need to know:

  • Who is this person?

  • What company do they work for?

  • Are they the decision-maker?

  • Have they imported this product before?

That’s wherecontact intelligencecomes in.

✅ Step 1: Start with Basic Input (email, domain, or LinkedIn)

Upload your contact list—maybe from trade shows, LinkedIn, or inbound forms.

🔍 InSaleAI, you can paste:

  • Email domains (e.g., @abcimport.com)

  • LinkedIn profile links

  • Raw name + company strings

✅ Step 2: Automatically Match the Right Company Info

The system enriches:

  • Legal company name

  • Industry, location, website

  • Trade records (last 12 months, matched by HS code)

🛠️ Module used:CorpDomain Check

✅ Step 3: Identify the Decision-Maker in That Company

You don’t want sales@ emails. You want:

  • Sourcing Manager

  • Purchasing Lead

  • CEO (if small business)

🧠 UseEnterpriseScopeto:

  • Extract full name, job title, email, LinkedIn

  • Score contact by relevance to product

✅ Step 4: Layer Trade Data to Validate Interest

If a lead looks good, validate theirpurchase history:

  • What did they import/export?

  • When? How much?

  • Any matching category with your product?

📦 UseTradeLink AI Insightsto confirm they’re a real buyer, not just a browser.

✅ Step 5: Score and Sort Contacts for Action

Now that each contact has:

  • A verified job role

  • A validated company

  • Trade activity context

➡️ SaleAI assigns alead score(Hot / Warm / Cold)

➡️ You can immediately push Hot leads into campaigns viaMailBlast Pro

Final Tip

Don’t waste your email slots on generic or cold contacts.

Let your contact data tell you:

  • Who they are

  • What they want

  • When to follow up
