If you work in sales, you’d probably describe it as ‘a numbers game’. In other words, your performance depends on your volume of emails and calls and ultimately, the sales you make.
That’s where data enrichment can make a difference. It’s the process of finding and recording relevant information about contacts, for both the individual people at an organization as well as the company as a whole. This information is then used to qualify leads, filter your database, and create segments in marketing.
Crucially, it means identifying contacts in your ideal customer profile (ICP) faster. The time it takes to research the leads in your database is time you could spend warming relationships and moving prospects through the funnel.
So, how can you reduce your time spent researching a lead’s contact details, a business’s revenue, or inevitably finding your contact no longer works for the company?
Good news - Capsule now automatically populates information in Business Enrichment and Contact Enrichment. Let’s see what that means in both cases.

What are the benefits of CRM data enrichment?
Find contacts that fit your ICP in a pinch
Business Enrichment provides detailed information about an organization’s attributes, allowing sales reps to qualify leads more effectively and making it a breeze to find the prospects that fit your ICP.
Personalize your sales pitch and marketing messaging
By understanding the attributes of an organization, sales reps can tailor their messaging and approach to resonate with the prospect’s specific needs and challenges.
Similarly, marketing teams can use this information to create better segmentation, addressing target audiences and persona needs in relevant, effective ways.
For instance, you could filter your contacts by an attribute from above, such as industry. From there, you could create a list to send tailored marketing emails with blogs and case studies that apply to those contacts.
Increase sales efficiency
Without access to enriched CRM data, it takes between five and ten minutes per record for sales reps to manually research and update records with key data - an inefficiency that significantly builds up over time. An enriched CRM offers sales reps and marketing teams more time to focus on high-value activities such as prospect engagement and building relationships.
Close more deals, faster
Armed with deeper insights into organizational dynamics, sales teams can have more informed and impactful conversations with prospects, leading to higher conversion rates and improved sales outcomes.
Understanding the opportunities marketing brings
Access to enriched data enables marketing leaders get more from their CRM, helping them analyze and better understand their ICP.
Transform your sales and empower your team using comprehensive insights available on the Growth, Advanced, and Ultimate plans. Try a free 14-day trial of any of the above and discover the benefit of data enrichment.
