What is waterfall lead enrichment, and why should you use it?

Waterfall lead enrichment is a method for enriching leads that use multiple vendors as data sources instead of one.

For example, if Vendor A cannot find your leads’ email, you go to Vendor B. If still, nothing is found, you switch to Vendor C, etc.

This way of collecting leads data ensures you get the most accurate leads’ information and maximize enrichment coverage.

But, manually performing this method often requires:

→ subscribing & navigating through multiple tools
→ hiring technical profiles that cost you roughly $50k per year
→ spending hours on additional emails’ verification

Luckily, we know a hack that makes this technology available for everyone in just one click and ensures you find contacts that convert ⬇️
