Why use Hunter Leads

Hunter Leads is your central contact hub — a lightweight CRM where all the contacts you discover, find, or verify in Hunter are stored and managed in one place.


It connects Hunter’s core tools so you can move seamlessly from discovering companies and emails to outreach without juggling spreadsheets or external tools.

Hunter Leads works natively with:

So you can discover, organize, enrich, verify, and contact prospects — all through one unique workflow.


What you can do with Hunter Leads

Every contact found is automatically saved in Hunter and becomes a lead; it will also automatically be enriched with public professional and company data and re-verified monthly for you at no cost (available on a paid plan).


This gives you a structured, living database that stays up to date as you work.


Key use cases for Hunter Leads

1. Save all your leads in one place

Access to Hunter Leads is included in all Hunter plans (including a free plan), so you can store your entire contact database in a single, easy-to-manage workspace—without needing an external CRM.

Leads can be easily imported and enriched, and all leads saved in Hunter can be automatically verified (available on paid plans). This keeps your data always accurate and up to date, helping you avoid bounces and protect your sender reputation.

Example use case:
You already have a list of leads and also need to find new ones. You upload your existing contacts to Hunter, discover additional emails, verify, and keep your list clean before launching new sequences.


2. Segment, analyse, and reuse your data

You need to manage your existing data. Import it to Hunter and create lists to segment contacts. Use filters to analyse your database, quickly verify your leads, and reuse the right leads for future outreach.

Example use case:
You have an existing database of leads from previous sequences that are left unorganised and outdated. You need to segment your leads, verify them, and reuse high-performing segments to tailor messaging and improve response rates in new sequences.


3. Collaborate with your team

You can add unlimited team members to your Hunter team at no additional cost and share your credits and benefits and resources. Leads are also shared across your Hunter workspace, so everyone works from the same contact base.


Assign contacts easily, align sales and marketing teams, create shared cold email sequences, avoid duplicate outreach and manage all of your outreach and data through one unique workspace.

Example use case:
Your sales and marketing teams share the same workspace. Marketing adds and verifies leads, while sales picks them up for outreach—without exporting files or risking duplicate emails.

4. Enrich your existing data

Upload your existing contact lists and let Hunter automatically enrich each lead with publicly available information for free (paid plan), such as:

  • Company name and domain

  • Job title and department

  • Industry

  • LinkedIn profile, and more.

This saves time and budget on manual research and helps you personalize your outreach more effectively.

Example use case:
You have an existing list of email addresses, but missing data. Hunter enriches your leads with company and role data for free, so you can personalize your emails without manually researching each contact.

5. Sync verified leads to your CRM

You have an existing workflow and need to keep your sales stack connected by syncing verified leads directly to your CRM using Hunter’s native integrations (such as HubSpot, Pipedrive, and Salesforce).
This ensures your CRM always stays up to date with accurate contact data.

Example use case:
Your sales team works entirely from a CRM. Once new leads are found, updated or verified in Hunter, they’re automatically synced—so sales always work with clean, up-to-date contacts without giving up our existing workflow.


6. Contact leads with email sequences

Send personalised cold email sequences directly from Hunter, save all your prospects in one place, manage them and track reporting, to easily add them to a new or existing email sequence:

  • Launch targeted outreach in a few clicks

  • Track opens, replies, and bounces

  • Automatically stop follow-ups when a contact replies

Example use case:
You run cold email sequences and need an overview of your sequences and the prospects to contact. Identify a segment of qualified leads, move them into a personalised outreach sequence, track engagement, and automatically stop follow-ups when someone replies.
