Incredibly Effective Prospecting Tool with Just the Right Amount of AI

I use Apollo.io for prospecting -- I'm a talent agent and I represent clients who work on social media. It's my job to find values-aligned brands with whom to partner on sponsored posts and ad campaigns. That means I need to find the right stakeholders within my target organizations, which takes some investigation work. Apollo.io removes the guesswork! Not only can I find the right stakeholders, I can easily add them to a list, save their contact information, add them to an automated email sequence, and more! It's never been easier to keep track of all my random contacts and outreach. I also love that I can push my contacts from Apollo.io into HubSpot, and vice versa! Truly a solution that saves me a ton of time, energy, and frustration daily.

Since I'm a one-man team, Apollo.io has been critical in helping me streamline my prospecting and outreach processes. Before I was using hunter.io to hunt and peck for emails based on educated guesses -- it was inefficient, laborious, and slow. Having switched to Apollo.io, I'm able to find the companies I'd like to target in the verticals I'm interested in, filter down to the types of roles I'd like to contact, and secure accurate contact information in less than 30 seconds. From there, I can select the stakeholders I'd like to reach out to, add them to a sequence, and craft bespoke emails to catch their attention. All of this can happen within a few minutes, which makes my outreach way, way more effective and much, much quicker.

It's cut my outreach time in half, easily. I used to spend up to 4 hours a day just on trying to find contact information through other means, and then testing that contact information to see if it was reliable or not. Total waste of time! Now that I have Apollo.io, I can see if there's contact information and be secure in the knowledge that any green-check items have been vetted and approved as valid contact info. I can save all of the contacts I'm interested in reaching out to in one place, and push that list to my CRM of choice (HubSpot). It's made all my outreach way more efficient in terms of time and energy.
