Best Practices for Creating an Up-to-Date Contact List in Sales Nav

Hi everyone, this is my first question 👋 when I want to create a list of people, I tried to: Option 1) > create a company, then > find people in these companies with Linkedin, and it resulted with many outdated contacts. I am wondering if option 2 would be a better option: Option 2) > in Sales Nav, create a sales nav search, then > find people from a sales nav search in clay, then > enrich these people with whatever company info I need I noticed that option 2 would cost me a lot of credits (2.7k for 2.7 people imported) then I also need to spend 2.7k*X credits * X enrichments I need. Any best practices on the steps to find up to date people ? Thanks in advance !

Hey Vikram, thanks for jumping in with your question! 😊 It's possible that some profiles might not have the most up-to-date infos, yes. The reason why it's because we are getting the data from providers and not directly your profile which is possible but risky. Sales Nav is a great option for finding up-to-date people data, but as you mentioned, it can get costly due to the number of credits required for imports and enrichments. You could also explore tools like vayne.io, Apify, or other scraping tools to gather data and upload it into Clay. Apify even has a native integration with Clay, so it’s fairly seamless. Just keep in mind that these options may come with some risks as they use your personal profile, whereas Clay’s integration is safer since we don’t use your login session. Lastly, other options like Datagma or Snov.io can also help find employee data with better flexibility on the credit usage. https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/1170514532/482e7bc59592fb86560961bf/CleanShot+2024-08-28+at+13_35_24%402x.png?expires=1725579900&signature=5d0a775be00e35e4483d74e2c75c8d941f571be17cfa51342623c480d889aec5&req=dSEgFsx%2FmYRcW%2FMW1HO4zTW3wdsXI%2FZI55LplfrBRzQSYyQEB5%2FWEDaiO9UU%0Ay%2Fqi%0A https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/1170514533/311cde2a5d1ce5c5eaf4729b/CleanShot+2024-08-28+at+13_34_32%402x.png?expires=1725579900&signature=3f75f2c12794b6fd17f3a18882df965e9f04b53d4fc3650ca298b268f76c21eb&req=dSEgFsx%2FmYRcWvMW1HO4zbO%2F41FIcIZlJpPE6bmklQ7%2FamAyWFG95miB7rFU%0AtkJ8%0A Let me know if you need help with your search parameters or any specific guidance! 😊
