6-step workflow to target companies that raised funds

Step #1: Find interesting funding on Crunchbase

[ ] Scrape Crunchbase's recent funding events with Piloterr

‍

Step #2: Enrich fundraising companies with Crunchbase Data

[ ] Use Piloterr for lead enrichment from Crunchbase data

If you are selling to a niche audience, you can also use this step to filter companies by company size, industry, etc.

Step #3: Check your target’s status in HubSpot

[ ] Do an automatic look-up to research if the new lead is already in your CRM. This will return data such as the last time the account has been contacted or its status.

Here are the possible outcomes:

‍→ The search finds nothing

This means that the lead is new, so you can continue your workflow and contact the person.

‍→ The search finds a company

‍- If the lead status is “Open Deal”, it means that the sales team got already been in touch with this lead.

In this case, it’s helpful to send a Slack alert to your sales team so they are able to check what pages the prospect is visiting and personalize follow-up for higher conversions.

- If the lead status is “Attempted to contact”, it means that the sales team got already been in touch with this lead, but they aren’t responding.

This is your opportunity to create CRM follow-up tasks for your sales team.
