Achieving 60%+ Match Rates: Enriching Generic Emails with LeadGenius

In the world of B2B marketing and sales, data quality is paramount. Capturing generic emails (e.g., Gmail, Yahoo) through lead forms is a common practice, but these addresses often lack the detailed business information needed to drive effective marketing campaigns and sales efforts. This is where LeadGenius comes in. By integrating LeadGenius with marketing automation platforms like Pardot, Marketo, or HubSpot, businesses can enrich these generic emails with valuable business profiles, achieving match rates of 60% or higher. Here’s how you can set up this process and start reaping the benefits.

Creating a Workflow for Enriching Generic Emails

Enriching generic emails using LeadGenius, integrated with marketing automation platforms like Pardot, Marketo, or HubSpot, involves several key steps. Let's dive into the detailed workflow:

Step 1: Set Up Form Capture

Create a Lead Capture Form:
First, you need to create a form in your chosen marketing automation platform (Pardot, Marketo, or HubSpot) to capture lead information. This form should include fields such as Name, Generic Email, and optional fields like Department, Job Title, and Company Name.

Form Fields:
Ensure your form collects all necessary details that can help in the enrichment process. Besides the generic email, additional fields like job title and company name can significantly enhance the matching accuracy.

Step 2: Integrate Form with LeadGenius

API Configuration:
Configure the API integration between your marketing automation platform and LeadGenius. This step involves setting up the necessary credentials and permissions to allow seamless data flow.

Report Trigger or Webhook Creation:
Instead of relying solely on webhooks, set up a specific report within your marketing platform (Salesforce, Marketo, HubSpot, or Pardot) that captures leads with generic emails. This report will serve as the trigger for the enrichment process.

Step 3: Data Enrichment Process

Report Trigger or Webhook:
When the form is submitted, the leads with generic emails are captured by the specific report in your marketing platform. Alternatively, a webhook can be used to send the captured data to LeadGenius.

LeadGenius Processing:

• Email Matching: LeadGenius uses its proprietary algorithms to match the generic email to a business profile.
• Data Enrichment: LeadGenius enriches the record with additional business details such as:
  • Work Email
  • Company Name
  • Company Size
  • Industry
  • Job Title
  • Firmographics
  • Linkedin Profiles or other social handles

Step 4: Data Return and Integration

Data Return:
Once the data is enriched, LeadGenius sends it back to your marketing automation platform.

Data Mapping:
Map the returned data fields from LeadGenius to the corresponding fields in your marketing platform’s contact or lead database. This ensures the enriched data is accurately reflected in your system.

Step 5: Workflow Automation

Automation Rules:
Set up automation rules in your marketing platform to update or create new records with the enriched data. This step is crucial for maintaining data consistency and ensuring all new leads are enriched upon entry.

Segmentation and Nurturing:
Use the enriched data to segment leads and tailor your marketing campaigns. By having detailed business profiles, you can create more targeted and personalized nurturing workflows, increasing engagement and conversion rates.
