Would you combine prospecting and CRM in one platform?
For people who actively use a CRM for outbound sales, do you prefer keeping prospecting, enrichment, outreach, and CRM as separate tools, or would you rather manage more of the workflow in one place?
For example, would it be useful to define your ICP and receive a smaller list of already-researched and qualified companies, including the right decision-makers, enrichment data, why they match, and why they may be worth contacting?
Only approved leads or positive replies would then be added to the actual CRM, rather than filling it with every prospect.
Would that make your workflow easier, or do you prefer using tools such as Sales Navigator, Clay, Apollo, outreach software, and your CRM separately?
What would a combined platform need to do before you would consider using it instead of your current setup?
Thanks for any constructive feedback!
