Overview
La Growth Machine can enrich your leads’ contact information. By enrichment, we mean finding your prospect’s contact details.
However, some data cannot be enriched directly during the enrichment phase and involve a few subtleties—this is particularly the case with mobile phones.
Depending on your audience, La Growth Machine can enrich and verify between 10% and 25% of phone numbers.
Key benefits
Time-saving automatic phone number enrichment
GDPR compliance with no personal data scraping
Reliable data sourced from legally accessible information
Finding phone numbers from LinkedIn-imported leads
To find phone numbers from LinkedIn leads, La Growth Machine relies on a key campaign action: the Visit profile block.
Important: for GDPR compliance reasons, no personal phone numbers are ever found during enrichment.
Did you know that on average, 28% of LinkedIn members share a phone number on their profile (data tested on La Growth Machine)? That’s great news—but there’s a catch.
This only works if you are connected with the lead, since most people only share their phone number with 1st-degree connections.
That’s why, once you’re connected with a lead, La Growth Machine can retrieve their contact information.
Requirements to retrieve a phone number
To successfully find a lead’s phone number, two conditions must be met:
You must be connected on LinkedIn with the lead
The lead must have made their phone number public
If both conditions are met, La Growth Machine can retrieve the phone number.
Campaign setup
To enable this process, you need to create a campaign that includes a Visit profile block.
Case 1: Visit profile at the start of the campaign
If the Visit profile block is placed before an Add relation block, the lead must have already accepted your LinkedIn invitation before the campaign starts.
Case 2: Lead is not connected yet
If that’s not the case, you’ll need to adjust your sequence and place the Visit profile block after the Add relation block.
Important: this feature is available starting from the Pro plan.
The Visit profile block allows La Growth Machine to visit the lead’s LinkedIn profile using the selected identity and access their visible personal information.
Finding phone numbers from CSV or CRM imports
Wondering what happens if you import leads from your CRM or a CSV file without a LinkedIn URL?
No worries—we’ve got you covered 😉
If your CSV file includes:
The lead’s first name
The last name
The company name
Then La Growth Machine can run a LinkedIn search to find the corresponding LinkedIn profile.
Note: for more details on how LinkedIn profiles are found during imports, check out the dedicated article on this topic.
LinkedIn profile matching accuracy
If the LinkedIn profile is found, La Growth Machine then follows the same enrichment process described above.
When your CSV is up to date, about 80% of LinkedIn profiles are successfully matched. The remaining 20% are usually due to:
The lead has changed jobs, so no matching profile is provided
Multiple people with the same name, making it unclear which profile to select
In these cases, no LinkedIn profile is returned.
Why La Growth Machine does not share contacts between users
Some tools rely on a shared contact database.
La Growth Machine does not do this—and never will.
Here’s why:
GDPR compliance: sharing personal data would be problematic
Confidentiality: your data should never benefit your competitors
Transparency: it’s easier to explain to a prospect how their email was obtained (server test, LinkedIn connection, etc.)
This approach may result in a slightly lower enrichment rate compared to less compliant tools, but it is safer, more transparent, and more reliable.
