Why Manual Lead Enrichment Fails
According to Salesforce's State of Sales report, sales reps spend only 28% of their time actually selling, with data entry and research consuming the majority. Gartner's CRM data quality research shows that 40% of business initiatives fail due to poor data quality in CRM systems. SiriusDecisions B2B database analysis found that 25% of database records become outdated annually, degrading sales and marketing effectiveness. Manual enrichment cannot keep pace with lead volume or data decay.
Organizations need automated enrichment that scales with their pipeline. Complete, current lead data is the foundation of effective sales and marketing.

"We had 50,000 leads in our database, most with incomplete or outdated data. Reps spent more time researching than calling. Marketing campaigns targeted wrong personas. Now every lead enriches automatically and existing records refresh on schedule. Our email deliverability improved 25% just from better data. Sales productivity jumped 40% because reps engage instead of research." — Director of Revenue Operations, B2B technology company
Organizations using automated lead enrichment report 80% reduction in manual research time and 35% improvement in campaign targeting accuracy.
