Pre-call research built for sales teams

Sales runs on preparation. Before a discovery call, demo, or executive meeting, you need to know who you are talking to — their role, company context, recent public activity, and angles for a relevant conversation. DeepSearch gives SDRs, account executives, and sales leaders a fast, sourced people brief from the public web so you walk in prepared instead of scrambling through browser tabs.

The problem: tab-hopping before every call

The typical pre-call workflow still looks like this: search LinkedIn, open three tabs for people with the same name, Google the company, skim a podcast episode, check X for recent posts, copy notes into Salesforce, and hope you got the right person. By the time you are done, the call is in ten minutes — or you skip research entirely and open cold.

CRM enrichment tools and Sales Navigator help with lists and outreach, but they rarely give you a multi-source brief with verifiable citations in one step. DeepSearch searches the live public web, disambiguates name collisions, and produces a structured profile — roles, education, social accounts, web mentions, and an AI summary with links to every source. You stay in control because you can click through and verify before you dial.

How sales teams use DeepSearch

Discovery call prep

You have a name from a booked meeting or inbound form. Run a quick lookup to confirm title, tenure, and public priorities. Reference a recent article, conference talk, or company announcement in your opener — proof you did your homework without spending twenty minutes in LinkedIn and Google.

Outbound personalization at scale

SDRs juggling fifty accounts cannot deep-research every contact manually. Use filters like company and location to pick the right match, skim the sourced summary, and drop one specific detail into your sequence. Better reply rates come from relevance, not longer templates.

Enterprise and multi-threaded deals

Before a QBR or executive sponsor meeting, research new stakeholders who joined the account. Ask follow-up questions in chat — "What did this person publish about security?" or "Summarize their last two roles" — and get answers grounded in linked public sources. Revisit saved lookups from your history before renewals or expansion conversations.

What you get in every profile

• Professional background from public career pages, press, and articles
• Social and professional profiles (LinkedIn, X, GitHub, and more when public)
• Company and title signals from indexed web content
• Web mentions — podcasts, talks, blog posts, and news coverage
• AI-generated summary with source links for verification before the call

Private lookups — prospects are never notified

Your research stays private. DeepSearchdoes not alert the people you look up. That matters when you are researching a competitor's buyer, a cold prospect, or an executive before a high-stakes meeting — and when you want to avoid "who viewed your profile" signals on other platforms.

Important: research tool, not a background check

DeepSearch aggregates publicly available information only. We are not a consumer reporting agency and our service is not FCRA-compliant. Do not use DeepSearchas the sole basis for employment, tenant, credit, or other decisions that require regulated screening. Use it for open-web research and call preparation — then follow your company's compliant process for formal checks where applicable.

Pricing for sales teams

Individual reps can subscribe on weekly, monthly, quarterly, or annual plans. See pricing for current rates. Sign in with Google and run your first pre-call lookup in under a minute — no enterprise procurement required to get started.

DeepSearch vs. your current stack

LinkedIn Sales Navigator excels at list building, InMail, and CRM integration inside the professional network. Google search finds fragments but leaves you to synthesize and verify. DeepSearch sits between them: one search, many public sources, structured output with citations. Read our comparisons with LinkedIn, Clay, and Google Search for a side-by-side view of when each tool fits your workflow.

Building a repeatable research habit

Top reps treat pre-call research as a non-negotiable five-minute block — same slot as reviewing the agenda and checking CRM notes. Batch lookups the night before a full calendar, save profiles you will revisit, and paste source links into opportunity notes instead of unverified summaries. Consistency beats occasional deep dives: a sourced one-pager on every stakeholder beats perfect research on only your largest deals.

Measuring impact on your pipeline

Track what changes when research stops being optional. Reps who personalize with verified public context often see higher connect and reply rates on outbound, shorter time-to-trust on discovery calls, and fewer embarrassing mismatches when two prospects share a name. If manual tab-hopping costs fifteen minutes per contact and you research ten people daily, that is more than two hours returned to selling every week — time you can spend on calls, follow-ups, and closing instead of searching.
