Why Better Leads Beat More Leads
Data enrichment sounds technical, but in practice it’s one of the most practical changes you can make in B2B marketing and sales. Apart from enriching master data like address data, company URLs, or LinkedIn profiles, enrichment is also done by lead qualification through notes or categorizing leads and their interests.
Improving Lead Qualification Starts With Saying No
Once we introduced structured data enrichment and verification, one thing became immediately clear: Not every lead deserves a follow-up or time invested in it.
We started sorting out the “rotten apples” early — before and sales employee touched them. Fake contacts, invalid companies, generic emails, incomplete profiles. Instead of pushing everything into the pipeline, leads were clearly filter and categorized.
That single step removed a massive amount of noise from both marketing and sales. This way performance can be also measured more realistically.
Cleaning and Enriching the CRM Changed Priorities
We didn’t just enrich new leads. We scrubbed the existing CRM in this process. Key parts were to verify contact information, company information and role data. What remained were real leads with all relevant data for sales and marketing activities. This also helped to cut time on fruitless follow-ups and outreach activities. Also reducing costs on outreach activities.
This lead to 2 things less time spend on sales and faster turnout with the leads engaged. Second we could spend more time on marketing and creating funnels and systems to reach new prospects. Revenue and deals closed didn’t skyrocket but we she more traffic from relevant keywords and our activities.
We realized we don't need more Sales Reps or more that many more leads but better leads.
