Gaining the competitive advantage in sales is all about how well you know your customers. And good quality data is every top performing sales rep’s secret weapon.

Having the right data at your fingertips can make all the difference between ending up in your prospect’s spam filter and landing a sale. That’s why we’re excited to announce a powerful new integration that will elevate your data quality: BetterContact is now available on LinkedIn through Surfe!

By combining the expansive data enrichment capabilities of BetterContact with the seamless LinkedIn and CRM integration of Surfe, sales professionals now have an unprecedented level of control and accuracy in their prospecting efforts. Let’s dive into what this means for you and how you can leverage these tools together to supercharge your sales pipeline.

In this article, we’ll cover:

What is BetterContact?

BetterContact is a leading data provider that specializes in multi-source data enrichment. Unlike traditional tools that rely on a single database, BetterContact taps into over 20 different data providers simultaneously to deliver comprehensive and up-to-date contact information. Think of it as a waterfall enrichment tool—much like Surfe—but with a focus solely on contact data enrichment. This makes BetterContact a go-to resource for sales teams looking to ensure that their contact lists are as accurate and complete as possible.

When you use BetterContact, you’re not just enriching your data; you’re enriching it from multiple high-quality sources at once. This is a significant advantage for sales teams who want to maximize the accuracy and breadth of their outreach efforts, so they know their emails are reaching the right inboxes.

Until now, BetterContact has offered its services primarily through CSV enrichment, where users upload their contact lists and receive enriched data with added email addresses and phone numbers. Now, thanks to BetterContact’s new API integration, you can use BetterContact’s powerful enrichment tools directly in LinkedIn if you are a Surfe user.

Connect BetterContact to LinkedIn with Surfe

As a trusted source of data enrichment, BetterContact has been popular amongst sales teams looking to get better info on their prospects. But as an additional admin task in the prospecting process, sales teams wanted this enrichment to happen automatically, without having to switch between platforms. 

BetterContact users had one request above all others: to enrich data directly in LinkedIn. Now, as a Surfe user with a BetterContact subscription, you can do just that. BetterContact’s new API tool has made it quicker and easier to find the right contact data for your prospects and feed that straight into your CRM system.

With this integration, you can now use BetterContact’s vast data sources within LinkedIn, directly through Surfe. This means no more manual uploads and downloads of CSV files—everything happens in real-time, right where you’re already working. The process to connect the two is straightforward:

  1. First, log in to your BetterContact account and navigate to the API section.
  2. Copy your API key provided by BetterContact.
  3. Open your Surfe Dashboard and head over to the Tools and Apps section.
  4. Scroll down to find BetterContact in the list of available tools.
  5. Paste your API key into the designated field.

And that’s it! Your BetterContact account is now linked to Surfe, allowing you to use BetterContact’s enrichment capabilities directly within LinkedIn.

Make More Sales with Surfe and BetterContact

So, what does this integration actually mean for your day-to-day sales tasks? Let’s explore some of the powerful new tools you’ll have in your arsenal: 

Directly Add Contacts to Your CRM

One of the biggest pain points in sales is getting accurate contact information into your CRM. Previously, BetterContact users had to download enriched data as a CSV file and then manually upload it to their CRM. This not only added extra steps to the process but also increased the likelihood of data errors.

Now, with Surfe and BetterContact working together, you can bypass these manual steps entirely. As you find contacts on LinkedIn using BetterContact’s enriched data, you can add them directly to your CRM with just a few clicks, thanks to Surfe’s seamless CRM integration. This means more accurate data, fewer errors, and a lot less hassle.

Enrich Your Sales Navigator Lead Lists

If you’re a Sales Navigator user, this integration will seriously beef up your prospecting power. You can now use BetterContact to find the email addresses and phone numbers of your Sales Navigator lead lists directly within LinkedIn. This eliminates the need for manual searches and cross-referencing, giving you more time to focus on what really matters—closing deals.

Imagine you’ve found the perfect lead on Sales Navigator, but you’re missing their contact information. With BetterContact integrated into Surfe, you can enrich that lead’s data in real-time, directly within LinkedIn, and immediately add them to your CRM or sales workflow. It’s all about streamlining the process and giving you more power at your fingertips.

Enhance Every Aspect of Surfe with BetterContact’s Data

Every part of Surfe that involves email addresses can now be powered by your BetterContact subscription. Whether you’re sending InMails, building outreach campaigns, or nurturing leads, you’ll have access to BetterContact’s extensive data sources to ensure your contact information is accurate and up-to-date. This level of integration means that your sales outreach is more targeted, more effective, and ultimately, more successful.

Export your lead lists from Sales Navigator, enrich all of the data automatically, and have it imported into your CRM.

What Does This Mean for Sales Teams?

More Flexibility

By combining the strengths of both tools, you now have more flexibility in how you source and use your data. Whether you’re working within LinkedIn, your CRM, or another part of your sales process, you can now access BetterContact’s data seamlessly through Surfe.

When combined with Surfe’s real-time integration capabilities, you’re looking at a powerhouse combination that will significantly enhance your sales efforts, whether you’re you’re looking to enrich data at scale or just add to the free email lookup already provided by Surfe.

Easier Data Management

Gone are the days of juggling multiple tools and platforms to get the data you need. With this integration, everything is centralized, streamlined, and accessible right where you need it. This makes managing your data much simpler and allows you to focus more on selling and less on administrative tasks.
