Add timing
Add the timing layer in four steps.
Keep Lusha for coverage. Use Embers to decide who to contact first.
-
Keep Lusha for coverage
Lists and contact data stay where they are. Embers starts from public activity, not from a database.
-
Watch where your buyers show up
Your posts, your comments, competitor and creator profiles, and keywords in your market.
How it works -
Work a short queue each day
The Priority Queue ranks leads into Urgent, High priority, and Review, with the next manual action on each.
How it works -
Spend reveals on who earned them
Contact fields arrive with paid plans when they are found, and HubSpot or a webhook takes the rest.
