Data Enrichment by Zia

Data Enrichment by Zia

The quality of your CRM data is of the utmost importance for your business, because when it comes to selling, it all starts here. When the data is incomplete or incorrect, sales reps lack the ability to understand your prospects or their needs completely.

Zia, your intelligent sales assistant can help you make sure that your CRM data is complete and has all the right and updated information. Based on as little information that you give such as name, company or website of a record, Zia crawls the electronic files from across the web and fetches you additional information about the record such as company size, phone number and address. All of this information can be used by your sales team for personalizing their communication and by Zia for lead conversion prediction.

Understand how Zia enriches your Zoho CRM records

Enrichment Fields

Zia enriches your CRM data based on certain primary information that is being provided for a record. For example, when you are creating a lead, once you type in the company name, Zia will search for more information about the lead based on this company name.

These primary fields based on which Zia searches for more information about a record is different for different modules.

Modules Enrichment happens based on
Leads Company Name / Website / Email Address
Accounts Account Name / Website
Contacts Account Name / Email Address

Once you enter the details for one or more primary fields, Zia crawls the electronic files from across the web and fetches you additional information about this lead such as the company size, phone number, address, etc,. These fields for which information is fetched by Zia are called the Enrichment fields.

Map Fields

Often the information that is being fetched from the internet for a record might not be in the exact same format of how they are stored in your Zoho CRM account. For example, what maybe called a Lead's "designation" on the web is nothing but the Title field in Zoho CRM. Or the "contact number" is nothing but the phone number in Zoho CRM.

These Enrichment fields are mapped with the respective Zoho CRM fields by default, based on which the information pulled in by Zia gets captured for the record. However, if need be, you can change the mapping. See Also
