CRM, the heart of sales data storage for Market / Sales teams
A real prospecting machine, the CRM is considered to be the nerve center of prospecting. It enables you to :
- Centralize and organize all information related to your prospects and customers
- Improve the productivity of your sales teams
- Monitor interactions with your customers
- Manage sales opportunities
And all with the sole aim of increasing sales and improving the customer experience 💡
However, keeping your CRM up to date, organized and clean can be a (very) tedious task.
We explain in detail how to keep your CRM clean here
Secondly, you'll need to make proper use of your CRM data, hence the importance of targeting...
Targeting, an essential step in Cold Calling and Cold Emailing
Targeting is an essential step in cold calling and cold emailing (when you approach prospects who don't know you yet).
Targeting allows you to personalize your approach to make your sales pitch more dynamic, enabling your prospect to feel closer to your product, and increasing your conversion rate.
Dropcontact enriches your data and generates all the information you need for your prospecting.
Although targeting is an essential step in your prospecting, we advise you to add ALL leads (including those you consider cold) to your CRM. We tell you more here 👉 why add cold leads to my CRM
Besides, targeting doesn't just concern your Cold Emails campaigns, but also your LinkedIn prospecting. If you use Sales Navigator, you probably already know that you have the option of applying hyper-specialised search filters. 💡
To take things a step further, we'd like to share our tips on LinkedIn Boolean search with you.

- Give a name (Zapier for example)
- Enter the callback url: ttps://zapier.com/dashboard/auth/oauth/return/WebmecanikAutomationCLIAPI/
👉🏼 Your API key is created, so you can connect Webmecanik Automation to Zapier to configure the trigger
And that's it! The trigger is configured.💡
