There are several ways on how to enrich your first lead(s) with BetterContact.

1. Single Contact Search

This method is ideal for quick lookups or enriching a single lead.

• How It Works:
  1. Go to the BetterContact dashboard.
  2. Navigate to the "Single Search" section.
  3. Enter details such as name, company, or email.
  4. Select the data points you'd like to retrieve (e.g., email, phone number, or both).
  5. Hit "Search" and receive results.

2. CSV Upload for Bulk Enrichment

This option allows you to enrich multiple contacts simultaneously, ideal for scaling outreach or improving CRM data.

• How It Works:
  1. Prepare a CSV file with your contact data. Ensure columns like first name, last name, company name, company domain, and LinkedIn URL are clearly labelled.
  2. Upload your file through the "CSV Enrichment" section.
  3. Choose the data points to enrich (e.g., phone numbers, emails).
  4. Map the columns in your file to BetterContact’s fields (e.g., first name to "First Name").
  5. Start the process and monitor progress in the enrichment queue.
• Processing Details:
  • Speed: Bulk files are processed in batches of 100 contacts at a time.
  • File Size: The maximum file size is 5.000 contacts.
  • Efficiency: Bulk enrichment doesn’t scale linearly; enriching 500 contacts doesn’t take 500 times the duration of a single contact.
