Share prospects with your sales teams or partners
Vainu is an excellent tool for finding optimal prospects, but the challenge is often how they find their way to be processed further? Luckily, Zapier enables a simple way of exporting Vainu's company information into Google Sheets. These two workflows are the most common and simple—yet highly effective—workflows with Vainu on Zapier. With just a few clicks, you can set up a connection that will allow, for instance:
- Adding company information to Google Sheets any time there's a new buying signal in your prospect list.
- Pushing company information from Vainu into Google Sheets
1. New buying signal in Vainu → Add company information to Google Sheets
So, your prospect lists in Vainu are full of new buying signals. Now what? An extremely efficient way to move your prospects further in your sales process and follow the changes in your current client base if
- your company isn't yet using a CRM
- you haven't yet integrated your CRM with Vainu
- your company is using an outsourced booking agent.
At Vainu, we believe in the power of real-time sales—using data in every step of the sales process. New buying signals, i.e., changes within a company (recruiting, expansion, received funding, product releases, M&As…) open up new opportunities to make sales. They give you the kind of insights that you can use to personalize your outreach and be more relevant in your sales approach.
If your company is using an outsourced booking agent, exporting Vainu leads to Google Sheets is a great way to ensure that your prospect lists always have quality content to be timely in your outreach. This workflow also makes it easy to follow the changes in your current client base or among your most-wanted prospects, for example, when email Alerts straight from Vainu aren't your thing. In some organizations, Sales Team Lead or Sales Director may want to first to check out the newest leads and, after that, share them with the whole team. This workflow is great for checking the quality of the leads first!
In short, when there's a new buying signal in the prospect list you've selected as the source, Zapier workflow is triggered and company information updates in Google Sheets. You can add several data points, such as company name, business ID, address, link to Vainu's company profile, and last but surely not the least, the buying signal that triggered the workflow to support and customize your sales pitch. You can find detailed instructions about how you can build the Zap yourself in Vainu's Help Center!
2. Push company information from Vainu to Google Sheets (+ a bonus feature)
This workflow requires the Zapier Google Chrome Extension. An efficient way to process your prospects further is by sending the best ones to Google Sheets for further processing with Zapier's Chrome extension. This workflow is especially useful if your company isn't yet using a CRM, or you haven't yet integrated your CRM with Vainu.
Whenever you enter a business ID or the prospect's company name into Zapier's Chrome extension, Zapier will search for the company's information from Vainu and add it to Google Sheets with the information found from Vainu. This way, you can save your time from typing in company information manually, and make sure you focus your time on the most potential companies by sending them to Google Sheets.
Oh, yes, and the bonus feature! The final step of this Zap adds the company into a static list in Vainu, which is a fantastic way of keeping track of companies that are already in your sales pipeline. If the case is, for some reason, lost, you'll have the prospect in your list waiting for better timing to be in touch with them again – remember to active Vainu's buying signals.

Make the most out of Vainu's data together with HubSpot
Zapier enables some amazing workflows for enriching contact data in HubSpot, as well as for bringing in the most relevant companies from HubSpot to Vainu. At Vainu, we strongly think that sales is neither only inbound nor outbound, but connecting the best parts of both worlds yields results. In Vainu, we talk about Smarketing, which is, in short, the process of integrating the sales and marketing processes, so they work together to achieve mutually agreed goals to increase revenue. Here are our favorite workflows between Vainu and HubSpot, but use your imagination when building your Zap:
- Adding a company to a static list in Vainu after a deal has been marked as Won in HubSpot.
- Adding company to a HubSpot pipeline after an interesting change has happened in your prospect list.
- Enriching an inbound contact in HubSpot with Vainu data (useful, e.g., in segmenting, email automation and lead scoring).
3. Won deal in HubSpot CRM → Add the company to a static list
With the help of this workflow, you make sure that
- your current customers do not end up in your prospect lists
- you stay on track of all interesting and business-relevant changes happening in your customer base.
4. Interesting change in your prospect list → Add the company to HubSpot CRM pipeline
In sales, timing is your competitive advantage—make sure your sales reps are reaching out to new prospects when there's a reason to do so. Vainu's native integration, Vainu for HubSpot, allows you to create automatic tasks assigned to the right person when there's a relevant change in your prospect pool. However, this Zapier workflow works equally well. Every time something interesting happens in your target group, such as projects, product launch, new hire, expansion, or whatever might be of your interest, a company is automatically added to the pipeline you've chosen in HubSpot CRM. This way, you can react straight away to interesting buying signals and continue the sales process in your CRM. Find out more here!
5. New inbound contact in HubSpot → Enrich with Vainu's data → Add the company to a prospect list in Vainu
In lead and account scoring, you must decide which factors will increase the likelihood of a prospect to turn into your customer and then weigh these factors more heavily. Vainu is a powerful tool for creating this kind of a value system. This workflow is terrific for making the full use of both Vainu and HubSpot. By combining different Zaps, you can automatically enrich company information of an inbound contact in HubSpot with Vainu's data. A broader set of up-to-date company information helps you, e.g., in segmenting, email automation as well as in lead scoring and account scoring. You can process your inbound leads more efficiently when you receive all the necessary company information from Vainu when someone, for instance, downloads an eBook or requests a demo on your website.

6. Bring new Vainu leads straight to your CRM such as Salesforce or Pipedrive
What comes to sales, first come, first served. I bet you want to be the first one contacting a sales prospect when something significant has happened, increasing your chances of closing the deal. Since you (or your team) spends a lot of time plowing through heaps of data in CRM, wouldn't it be great to automatically include data points that can be converted into sales? With the help of Zapier, you can generate Salesforce tasks and opportunities from new buying signals in Vainu so that you or your sales team can swiftly act upon them. Furthermore, you can enrich Pipedrive organizations with new buying signals from Vainu to highlight which cases are warmer than others.
