You know that feeling when you’re staring at a spreadsheet full of names and email addresses, knowing you need to research each one before your sales call tomorrow? Yeah, that sucks.
Manual lead research is soul-crushing work. Open LinkedIn. Check the company website. Hunt for a phone number. Copy-paste everything into your CRM. Rinse and repeat for the next 50 leads. By the time you’re done, your eyes hurt and you’ve lost half your day. Research shows that annual data decay rates average around 30%, indicating that manual work becomes outdated quickly.
The Lead Enrichment Agent from SmythOS changes all of that. Give it a name and company, and it comes back with a complete profile: job title, company details, contact information, even relevant insights about what they do. No more tab-hopping. No more manual data entry.
This video guides you through the exact steps to set it up, test it, and customize it for your workflow.
What This Template Does (And Why You Need It)
The Lead Enrichment Agent is easy to use. You feed it basic information about a prospect (name, company, and possibly an email address), and it automatically searches the web to build a complete profile. Think of it as having a research assistant who never gets tired.
Here’s what you get back: full name and current role, company information (website, tagline, what they actually do), contact details when available, professional background, and suggested next steps for outreach.
This matters for any team that touches leads. Sales teams preparing for calls can save time by automating lead enrichment. Marketing teams that qualify inbound prospects receive richer data for segmentation. Recruiters researching candidates find complete professional backgrounds. Business development teams building target lists can process dozens of prospects simultaneously.
The agent also asks clarifying questions if your input is vague. Most automation tools just fail when they hit ambiguity. This one works with you to figure it out.
You can test it two ways: chat mode for conversational exploration when you’re short on details, or form mode for structured input when you know exactly who you’re researching. Both work seamlessly.
Bulk Processing Meets Real Integration
If you want to process 50 leads from last week’s webinar, you can modify the workflow to connect with Google Sheets, and the agent handles them all in parallel. After enrichment, you can route your data to HubSpot, Google Docs, or whatever CRM your team actually uses. You can even schedule automatic runs so fresh lead data appears every Monday morning without lifting a finger.
This matters because lead enrichment can increase sales productivity when done consistently. Automation turns sporadic research into systematic intelligence gathering.
Why SmythOS Makes This Work
Most automation tools aren’t built for production-grade lead enrichment. Zapier and n8n are great for simple triggers. LangChain works well for prototypes. None of them provides the infrastructure enterprises need when processing thousands of leads.
Smyth Runtime Environment (SRE) changes that equation. It’s not just a workflow builder, but a true runtime with orchestration that removes fragility, enforces security and governance.
The Bottom Line
Lead enrichment is a necessary process that doesn’t require human judgment. You’re simply gathering information that’s already publicly available on platforms like LinkedIn. That’s exactly the kind of task AI agents should handle.
The Lead Enrichment Agent gives your team back hours every week while ensuring your lead data stays accurate and current. Whether you’re processing five leads or five thousand, SmythOS provides the production-grade infrastructure to make it happen reliably, securely, and at scale.
Stop wasting time on manual lead research. Your sales team has better things to do than copy and paste information all day.
