2️⃣ Retrieve additional information about the companies from LinkedIn

  • If you imported the Company's LinkedIn URL
    select companies from the list > Enrichment > Find data from LinkedIn by URL

  • If you didn't import the Company's LinkedIn URL
    select companies from the list > Enrichment > Find data from LinkedIn by Name

3️⃣ Retrieve additional information using AI

Are there any fields for your companies that are not present in LinkedIn but can be easily found in the company's website / Google / Google News.

A) Create an AI Variable to retrieve this information following these steps:

  1. Go in between two column headers > Click on "+" icon > Create new AI variable

  2. Introduce a prompt. If you wish to call variables in Genesy (company name, description...), add them by typing "{" + variable name

  3. Indicate if it should look for the information in the company website, Google or Google news. If all the information is already present in Genesy and there is no need to look elsewhere, just leave the boxes unchecked

  4. Select the desired output: text, number, date or one of (picklist)



B) Run AI Variable following these steps:

  1. Select companies you want to enrich with AI fields > Enrichment > Enrich with AI


  2. Select variables you wish to fill in > Fill

For credit optimization, we recommend you only enrich those companies where that variable is empty by filtering beforehand.

4️⃣ Search for leads within these companies

  • Select companies from the list > Enrichment > Add contacts to company

  • Add filters to identify the people you’re interested in within those companies.

  • Create a list of leads by including the person and company filters in the name (e.g., Sales > 3 to 5 years > Spain)

🚨 Reminder: When importing companies from Salesforce, remember to Find Data from LinkedIn by URL / Name.
