AI Lead Enrichment & Scoring Tool

Inspiration: "Lead Generation" is one of the highest-demand services on Fiverr with over 3k+ reviews, prices ranging from $150 to $300. Sales teams spend massive time researching potential customers and prioritizing them. This information gathering and evaluation process can be greatly automated by AI.

Target Customers: B2B sales representatives (SDRs), account executives (AEs), growth marketing managers, startup founders.

Pain Points: Sales people receive simple lead lists (usually just names, companies, and emails). They must manually search LinkedIn, company websites, press releases to understand if companies are ideal customers and if contacts are decision makers. This process is time-consuming, tedious, and inefficient.

Solution (Micro-SaaS): An AI-driven sales lead "enricher". Users upload a CSV file with potential customers or input a company domain, AI automatically collects key company information and scores lead quality based on preset criteria.

MVP Core Features:

• Lead Input: Support CSV file upload or manual company domain/email input.
• Data Enrichment: AI automatically collects and fills key information from public sources:
  • Company size, industry, location
  • Recent funding news
  • Technology stack used (e.g., Salesforce vs HubSpot)
  • Contact's position and LinkedIn profile link
• AI Smart Scoring: Users can set their "Ideal Customer Profile" (ICP), e.g., "SaaS industry, 50+ employees, North America". AI scores each lead (1-100) based on these criteria, helping sales prioritize hottest leads.
• Clean Dashboard: Display enriched data and lead scores in clear interface.
• CSV Export: Support exporting enriched data as CSV for CRM import.

Development Investment (Technical Implementation): High. Core is reliable multi-source data scraping and integration capability.

• LLM API Calls:
  • Information Extraction: Use GPT-4 Turbo or Claude 3 Opus to parse scraped webpage content, extract key points (like "company recently launched new product").
• Core Technology (Non-AI):
  • Data Scraping: Need to integrate multiple APIs like Clearbit, Hunter.io, BuiltWith, plus powerful web scraping tool (like Firecrawl) to crawl company websites and news. This is main cost and technical implementation part.
  • Scoring Logic: Scoring system mainly based on rules engine, customizable weights by users.
