Who is this for?
This workflow is for all sales reps and lead generation manager who need to prepare their prospecting activities, and find relevant information to personalize their outreach.
Use Case
This workflow allows you to do account research with the web using AI.
It has the potential to replace manual work done by sales rep when preparing their prospecting activities by searching complex information available online.
What this workflow does
The advanced AI module has 2 capabilities:
- Research Google using SerpAPI
- Visit and get website content using a sub-workflow
From an unstructured input like a domain or a company name.
It will return the following properties:
- domain
- company Linkedin Url
- cheapest plan
- has free trial
- has entreprise plan
- has API
- market (B2B or B2C)
The strength of n8n here is that you can adapt this workflow to research whatever information you need.
You just have to precise it in the prompt and to precise the output format in the "Strutured Output Parser" module.
