The ease of functionality, cost structure, and use with LinkedIn Sales Navigator make LeadIQ a no-brainer for my team.
I have not yet found a downside for using LeadIQ
Our business requires a heavy top of funnel, supported by the LeadGen that LeadIQ provides.
I've implemented LeadIQ at multiple companies and it's always been a seamless experience. The feedback I get from reps is the Chrome extension for capturing leads is the best one they've used. It's so simple that you can use it with zero training. Everytime I've onboarded LeadIQ there have been new improvements, which is a sign of a company that is constantly evolving. On top of all this, the data they provide is top notch. They are the best tool for mobile phone numbers that I've seen. And unlike other tools in the space, LeadIQ has stayed true to who they are as a company and haven't tried to become a one stop shop, which often occurs at the expense of losing great data.
Overall, I don't really have anything I dislike. If I had to find something, it would be that some of the workflows are a bit strange. ie: you don't know if LeadIQ has contact information on a lead until after you capture the lead. In addition to this, most plans give you unlimted credits but limited premium credits, and premium credits are what's needed to unlock mobile phone numbers. The base packages only give you 100 premium credits per month, which is pretty limiting considering they really promote the quality of their mobile numbers.
Quickly captuing lead data to use in outbound prospecting sequences.
LeadIQ shines as a beacon of usability in a sea of complex sales tools. Its interface integrates seamlessly into my daily routine, striking that perfect balance between functionality and simplicity. It doesn't just occupy space within my workflow—it enhances it. One feature that stands out is the Scribe tool, which has revolutionized the way I conduct prospect research. What used to be a time-consuming task now feels like a breeze, with the ability to gather insights at a speed that's tenfold faster than before. LeadIQ has undoubtedly become an indispensable ally in my sales arsenal.
While LeadIQ generally hits the mark, it does have its quirks (as you'll find every sales tool does). Occasionally, I encounter a hiccup where it won’t load on the first try, or it might tease me with a few extra login prompts before I can dive in. And every now and then, the extension requires a quick refresh installation to get back on track. These are minor speed bumps that momentarily slow down the efficiency express, but they're quick fixes and don't detract from the overall value LeadIQ brings to my daily routine.
LeadIQ is the Swiss Army knife in my prospecting toolkit, tackling multiple challenges with finesse. It's not just about capturing essential contact data; it delves deeper, streamlining my prospect research and providing insights into the roles and responsibilities within their companies. The AI writing assistant, albeit occasionally quirky with its suggestions, is a time-saver, speeding up my outreach preparation. This comprehensive package equips me with the knowledge and resources needed to write effectively to prospects, often turning cold outreach into warm conversations.
It is very easy to find contact information for new leads. I use LinkedIn & other search methods to find the correct people. Combingin LeadIQ's sidebar + LinkedIn makes it fast and easy to capture emails, phone numbers, and other pertinent information. The integrations with Outreach make speed up my ability to prospect and place leads into the correct sequences. I use LeadIQ daily and it has saved me hours per week in my process. When I have any issues with the technology, LeadIQ team is fast to respond and facilitiate issues (ie credits, connectivity, etc) but that is rare that I even have an issue. The most recent 'Scribe' feature to auto-populate emails is very powerful. I find that it saves me a lot of time because it follows a simliar process in how I research leads & contacts. I would like to see more features added to it.
I dont have any dislikes about LeadIQ. IT is easy to use and has no major flaws or glaring issues. It does what it sets out to do and then some. The new functions/features that the LeadIQ team pushes periodically ensure that there is always long-term future value as well.
LeadIQ is saving me a LOT of time. For most of my process it involves finding contact info (email/phone #), inputting lead info into Salesforce CRM, adding the Lead to a cadence in Outreach, and then creating a message to send them that is personalized. LeadIQ helps me do all of these things and saves me many hours per week.
Very simple to use and implement. Increases time to get prospects into outreach and into my CRM.
Sometimes its difficult to tell if a lead was uploaded successfully. It really only takes a few more seconds to validate that all the "checkmarks" have been checked, but at times it can be misleading where you think you loaded a lead, but it didn't load properly for some reason.
Bringing leads into my CRM and my automated email tool
One of the things I like most about LeadIQ is how easy it is to source prospect and lead information from LInkedin. I can create lists based on a variety of criteria, such as job title, company size, industry, and location. I can also import lists from other sources, such as LinkedIn. Once I have my accounts in mind, I can easily toggle what information I need for prospecting LinkedIn. For example, I can show or hide contact information, company email, or just collect company phone or private cell phones (extra cost).
I feel like it is really dependent on the quality of the prospects and overall linkedin information/integration. I know it has other powerful features but I usually focus on using it for LinkedIn Prospecting.
Fast lead capture from LInkedin and ability to integrate into sales automation tools like salesloft and outreach.
The availability of mobile phone numbers was superior to ZoomInfo, and as we know, cold calls are where we see the highest conversion rates. I also appreciated that I could directly add contacts to Outreach sequences whilst tagging them, while also updating our instance of Salesforce Contacts simultaneously.
I can't name many things that I didn't like but the UI/UX was a bit sparse. Felt like the ramp to value realization was a bit longer than it needed to be, but I also didn't attend initial trainings on the product.
LeadIQ is solving the fact that Sales Development folks have mutliple source data systems that need updating constantly and simultaneously. The fact that LeadIQ integrates within multiple SaaS environments when capturing Leads saves a ton of time when prospecting, allowing SDRs to focus on the dollar creating acitivities, like making phone calls.
The seamless connection with the LinkedIn search, the ease of use, and flexible pricing.
The welcome page inviting each time to see an example should be made optional (with a do not show again button, for instance).
LeadIQ makes it easy to get prospects verified information for outbound sales. This makes it easy for us to fuel our cold email campaign contact lists.
