BUSINESS RESEARCH · Workflow idea
For a sales or partnership team with a documented prospecting purpose, organize company research, role-relevant contact details, and a proposed email draft. Public business information can be stale, subject to source rules, or personal data; enrichment does not create consent. Use permitted sources, minimize fields, verify each contact and business claim, honor applicable contact preferences, and require a person to approve every recipient and message before outreach.
01 / The starting point
A documented business purpose, allowed research sources, and approved contact criteria
“Prepare a verifiable prospect brief and optional message draft without sending it automatically.”
02 / The work
Finds recently funded businesses, organizes selected company and professional contact details, and prepares tailored email copy for review.
Exclude sensitive personal traits and avoid assumptions unrelated to the business purpose.
Use only permitted sources and record where each contact detail came from.
Review original sources and label stale, inferred, or uncertain details.
Retain only fields needed for review and set a deletion date.
Confirm contact basis, opt-out handling, recipient, exact text, and appropriate channel before sending.
03 / The result
A source-linked prospect record with uncertainty, contact-basis, and individual review notes.
Data · Example outcome
A source-linked prospect record with uncertainty, contact-basis, and individual review notes.
Enriched details can be wrong or over-collected, and a valid email address is not permission to contact. Follow source and outreach rules, honor opt-outs, verify fit, and require individual approval before sending any message.
04 / Make it yours
A few choices shape the work around your team.
Set collection limits, allowed purposes, and accountable ownership.
Avoid sensitive inferences and unnecessary personal data.
Honor opt-outs and handle inaccurate or outdated records promptly.
Require separate approval of each prospect, message, and follow-up.
