Inbound Lead Enrichment

Takes inbound leads with incomplete data and fills in the gaps. Researches the company, identifies the person's role, finds other stakeholders at the company, and checks for existing relationships in CRM. Turns a bare email address into a full lead profile.

When to Auto-Load

Load this composite when:

• User says "enrich these leads", "fill in the missing data", "research these inbound leads"
• inbound-lead-qualification flags leads as insufficient_data
• inbound-lead-triage detects leads with missing company/title fields
• User has a list of emails or partial lead data and needs complete profiles

  "enrichment_tools": {
    "company_research": {
      "primary": "SixtyFour | Orthogonal | web-search",
      "secondary": "web-search"
    },
    "person_research": {
      "primary": "SixtyFour | Orthogonal | web-search",
      "secondary": "web-search"
    },
    "stakeholder_finding": {
      "primary": "SixtyFour | Orthogonal | web-search",
      "secondary": "web-search"
    }
  },
  "crm_source": {
    "tool": "HubSpot | Salesforce | CSV | none",
    "access_method": ""
  },
  "buyer_personas": 
   
     
     
     
     
     
  

On subsequent runs: Load config silently.

Step 1: Assess Data Gaps

Process

For each lead, inventory what's known vs. unknown:

Required fields (must fill):

• company_name — What company do they work for?
• company_domain — Company website domain
• person_name — Full name
• person_title — Current job title
• person_email — Contact email (usually already have this from inbound)

Valuable fields (fill if possible):

• company_size — Employee count or range
• company_industry — Industry classification
• company_stage — Funding stage or maturity
• company_hq — Headquarters location
• company_description — One sentence about what they do
• person_seniority — IC, Manager, Director, VP, C-Level, Founder
• person_department — Engineering, Sales, Marketing, etc.
• person_linkedin — LinkedIn profile URL
• person_tenure — How long at current company

Bonus fields (nice to have):

• company_tech_stack — Known technologies used
• company_recent_news — Any recent events (funding, launches, hires)
• person_background — Previous companies, education
• person_social_activity — Recent posts or engagement topics

Gap Classification

For each lead, classify the enrichment effort needed:

Gap Level	Missing	Enrichment Needed	Cost
Minimal	1-2 valuable fields	Quick web search	Free
Standard	Company or title missing	Web search + possible API lookup	Low
Deep	Multiple required fields missing	Multi-source research	Medium
Email-only	Only have an email address	Full research from scratch	High

Output

• Gap inventory table showing each lead and what's missing
• Recommended enrichment depth per lead (based on gap level AND urgency tier if available)
• Cost estimate if paid tools will be used

Human Checkpoint

"Here's what's missing across your leads. [X] need deep enrichment, [Y] need standard, [Z] just need a quick lookup. Estimated cost: [amount]. Proceed?"

---

Step 2: Company Research

Process

For each unique company in the lead list (deduplicate — don't research the same company twice for multiple leads):

From email domain (if company name is missing):

1. Extract domain from email (e.g., [e-mail] → acme.com)
2. Skip personal email domains (gmail, yahoo, hotmail, outlook, etc.)
3. Look up the domain → company name, description

Company profile research:

Field	Primary Source	Fallback Source
Company name	Domain lookup	Web search
Description	Company website (homepage, about page)	LinkedIn company page, web search
Employee count	SixtyFour or Orthogonal, LinkedIn company page	Web search
Industry	LinkedIn company page, SixtyFour or Orthogonal	Infer from website content
Stage/Funding	SixtyFour or Orthogonal, news articles	Web search
HQ Location	LinkedIn company page, website	Web search
Tech stack	Job postings, BuiltWith	Web search
Recent news	Web search (last 90 days)	Twitter/social mentions

Research depth by config:

• Deep: All fields, multiple sources, verify across sources
• Standard: Required + valuable fields, primary source only
• Minimal: Company name + description + size only

Output

Each company gets a company_profile block:

{
  "company_name": "",
  "company_domain": "",
  "company_description": "",
  "employee_count": "",
  "employee_range": "",
  "industry": "",
  "sub_industry": "",
  "stage": "",
  "last_funding": "",
  "hq_location": "",
  "tech_stack": [],
  "recent_news": [],
  "research_sources": [],
  "confidence": "high | medium | low"
}

Handling Personal Email Domains

If the lead used a personal email (gmail, etc.):

1. Check if name + any other available data can identify the company (e.g., form field, chat message)
2. If company is mentioned in their form submission or chat, use that
3. If truly unknown, flag as company_unidentified — still proceed with person research if name is available

---

Step 3: Person Research

Process

For each lead, build a person profile:

From name + company (if title is missing):

1. Search LinkedIn for person at company (via configured tool or web search)
2. Cross-reference with SixtyFour or Orthogonal
3. If multiple matches, use email domain to disambiguate

Person profile research:

Field	Primary Source	Fallback Source
Full name	Input data	LinkedIn profile
Current title	LinkedIn profile, SixtyFour or Orthogonal	Web search
Seniority level	Infer from title	LinkedIn profile
Department	Infer from title	LinkedIn profile
Tenure at company	LinkedIn profile	Web search
Previous companies	LinkedIn profile	Web search
Education	LinkedIn profile	Skip
LinkedIn URL	SixtyFour or Orthogonal, web search	Skip
LinkedIn headline	LinkedIn profile	Skip
Recent activity	LinkedIn posts (if scraper configured)	Skip

Seniority inference rules:

• Titles containing: Intern, Associate, Coordinator, Specialist → IC_junior
• Titles containing: Analyst, Engineer, Designer, Developer (no "Senior/Lead/Staff") → IC_mid
• Titles containing: Senior, Lead, Staff, Principal → IC_senior
• Titles containing: Manager, Team Lead → Manager
• Titles containing: Director, Head of → Director
• Titles containing: VP, Vice President, SVP, EVP → VP
• Titles containing: Chief, C-level abbreviations (CTO, CMO, CRO, CFO), President → C_Level
• Titles containing: Founder, Co-founder, Owner → Founder

Adjust for company size:

• At companies <20 employees: inflate seniority one level (a "Manager" has Director-level scope)
• At companies >5000 employees: deflate seniority one level (a "Director" may have Manager-level autonomy)

Output

Each lead gets a person_profile block:

{
  "full_name": "",
  "current_title": "",
  "seniority_level": "",
  "department": "",
  "tenure_months": null,
  "previous_companies": [],
  "education": "",
  "linkedin_url": "",
  "linkedin_headline": "",
  "recent_activity_summary": "",
  "research_sources": [],
  "confidence": "high | medium | low"
}

Step 4: Stakeholder Discovery

Process

For each company in the lead list, identify other relevant people — the buying committee.

Why this matters:

• Inbound leads are rarely the sole decision-maker
• Finding the rest of the buying committee early accelerates the deal
• Multi-threading (engaging multiple people at a company) dramatically improves win rates

Who to find (based on buyer personas from config):

1. Economic buyer — Person who signs the check. Usually VP+ or C-level in the relevant department.
2. Champion — Person most likely to push for adoption internally. Usually a senior IC or Director who feels the pain.
3. Technical evaluator — Person who will assess the product's technical fit. Usually engineering or ops.
4. End user — Person who will use the product daily. Their buy-in prevents post-sale churn.

Process per company:

1. Using the buyer personas, determine which roles to search for
2. Search via configured tool (SixtyFour or Orthogonal, LinkedIn, company-contact-finder)
3. For each stakeholder found, capture: name, title, seniority, LinkedIn URL, email (if available)
4. Note the relationship to the inbound lead: same team? Same department? Different function?

Depth control:

• Deep enrichment (Tier 1-2 leads): Find all 4 stakeholder types. Research each.
• Standard enrichment (Tier 3 leads): Find economic buyer + champion only.
• Minimal enrichment (Tier 4 / untiered): Skip stakeholder discovery.

Output

Each company gets a stakeholder_map:

{
  "company": "",
  "inbound_lead": {
    "name": "",
    "title": "",
    "role_in_deal": "economic_buyer | champion | evaluator | user | unknown"
  },
  "stakeholders_found": [
    {
      "name": "",
      "title": "",
      "seniority": "",
      "linkedin_url": "",
      "email": "",
      "role_in_deal": "",
      "relationship_to_lead": "",
      "confidence": "high | medium | low"
    }
  ],
  "buying_committee_completeness": "full | partial | minimal",
  "recommended_multi_thread": ""
}

Stakeholder Prioritization

If the inbound lead IS the economic buyer → stakeholders are supporting context If the inbound lead is a user/evaluator → finding the economic buyer is critical If the inbound lead is unknown → identifying their role determines the multi-threading strategy

---

Step 5: Relationship Check

Process

For each lead AND each discovered stakeholder, check existing systems for prior relationships:

Check 1 — CRM (HubSpot, Salesforce, CSV):

• Does this person already exist in our system?
• If yes: what's their current status? (active lead, contacted, nurture, customer, churned)
• If yes: who owns the relationship?

Check 2 — Outreach history (outreach_log):

• Have we emailed/messaged this person before?
• If yes: when, what channel, what was the outcome?
• Critical: prevent the "we cold-emailed you last week and you ignored us, now you came inbound" collision

Check 3 — Company-level pipeline (companies table or CRM):

• Is there an active deal with this company?
• If yes: at what stage? Who's the deal owner?
• An inbound lead at a company with an active deal is a HUGE signal — flag it prominently

Check 4 — Signal history (signals table):

• Has this company appeared in any signal scans?
• If yes: which signals? Were they acted on?

Check 5 — Mutual connections (if data available):

• Does anyone on our team know someone at this company?
• If yes: note the warm intro path

Output

Each lead gets a relationship_context block:

{
  "person_in_crm": true/false,
  "person_crm_status": "",
  "person_outreach_history": [
    {
      "date": "",
      "channel": "",
      "campaign": "",
      "outcome": ""
    }
  ],
  "company_in_pipeline": true/false,
  "company_deal_stage": "",
  "company_deal_owner": "",
  "company_signal_history": [],
  "mutual_connections": [],
  "relationship_summary": ""
}

---

Step 6: Compile & Output

Enriched Lead Record

Merge all research into a single enriched record per lead:

{
  "original_data": {},
  "company_profile": {},
  "person_profile": {},
  "stakeholder_map": {},
  "relationship_context": {},
  "enrichment_metadata": {
    "enrichment_depth": "deep | standard | minimal",
    "fields_filled": X,
    "fields_still_missing": [],
    "sources_used": [],
    "confidence_overall": "high | medium | low",
    "enrichment_date": "",
    "cost_incurred": ""
  }
}

Output Formats

Primary: Enriched CSV

Produce a CSV that extends the original lead data with all enriched fields:

Original Fields	+ Company Fields	+ Person Fields	+ Stakeholder Fields	+ Relationship Fields	+ Metadata
All input columns	company_description, employee_count, industry, stage, hq, tech_stack, recent_news	current_title, seniority, department, tenure, linkedin_url, headline	stakeholder_1_name, stakeholder_1_title, stakeholder_1_role, ... (up to 4)	in_crm, crm_status, in_pipeline, deal_stage, outreach_history_summary	enrichment_depth, confidence, fields_missing, sources_used

Save to the current working directory or wherever the user prefers (e.g., leads/inbound-enriched-[date].csv).

Handling Edge Cases

Lead with only an email, nothing else:

1. Extract domain → look up company
2. Search "[name] [company]" on LinkedIn/web
3. If still can't identify: flag as enrichment_failed with reason, recommend manual lookup
4. Don't waste paid API credits on truly unidentifiable leads — web search first

Same company appears multiple times (multiple inbound leads):

• Research the company ONCE, apply to all leads
• Stakeholder discovery runs once per company, not per lead
• Note the multi-lead signal: "3 people from [Company] came inbound — buying committee forming?"

Lead claims a title that doesn't match LinkedIn:

• Trust LinkedIn over self-reported form data (people sometimes inflate titles on forms)
• Note the discrepancy: "Form says 'VP of Engineering', LinkedIn says 'Senior Engineer'"
• Use the LinkedIn title for qualification purposes

Company recently renamed, merged, or was acquired:

• If the company domain redirects, follow the redirect
• Note the corporate action: "[Company] was acquired by [Parent] in [date]"
• Qualify against the current entity, not the historical one

Person left the company since filling the form:

• If LinkedIn shows a different company than the form submission, flag it
• Note: "Lead submitted via [Company] but now at [New Company] as of [date]"
• Qualify both companies if both are potentially relevant

Enrichment tool rate limits or failures:

• If primary tool fails, fall back to secondary (web search is always available)
• If both fail for a specific lead, mark as enrichment_partial and move on
• Never block the entire batch because one lead failed

Very high volume (100+ leads):

• Batch company research first (deduplicate companies)
• Parallelize person research via Task agents (15-20 leads per batch)
• Skip stakeholder discovery for Tier 4 and untiered leads
• Provide cost estimate before running paid enrichment tools

Personal email domains:

• If form had a company field: use it even though email is personal
• If no company info: attempt LinkedIn search by name
• Last resort: flag as company_unidentified, enrich person only

---

Update Protocol

After enrichment is complete, update the source systems:

1. If CRM is configured: Create/update lead records with enriched data. Don't overwrite existing data — append or fill gaps only.
2. Flag duplicates: If enrichment reveals a lead already exists in CRM under a different email, flag the duplicate rather than creating a second record.

---

Tools Required

• Web search — primary fallback for all research
• SixtyFour or Orthogonal — company + person lookup (optional, enhances depth)
• LinkedIn scraper (Apify) — person profile enrichment (optional)
• Company-contact-finder — stakeholder discovery
• CRM access — relationship checks (HubSpot, Salesforce, CSV)
• Read/Write — CSV I/O and config management
• Task tool — for parallelizing enrichment across large lead batches
