- What they did
- One salesperson said they use Claude’s ZoomInfo API connection for prospecting. In practice, Claude pulls prospecting information from ZoomInfo, and the human still manually reviews what it returns rather than trusting it end to end.
- How it went
- The source only calls it pretty useful for prospecting and does not give results, conversion numbers, or time saved. It also does not describe the exact prompt flow or any automation beyond Claude pulling the information.
- Worth knowing
- The main catch is that you still have to manually review the info Claude pulls.
