Contacts: key people at your accounts

Contacts gathers the key people at the companies in your ABM strategy, such as decision-makers and influencers on the buying committee.

They become audiences on LinkedIn, Google and Meta and can go to outreach tools.

  • Where: Contacts menu
  • Plan: Enterprise or higher
  • Import limit: 10,000 contacts per file
Contacts screen with title, email, phone and company (data hidden)
Each contact has title, email, phone and company.

How to add contacts

  • Add contact: fill in name, title, email, phone, LinkedIn and company manually.
  • Import contacts: upload a spreadsheet with up to 10,000 rows. See How to import contacts from a spreadsheet.
  • Find contacts: in Target Accounts, the add icon in the Contacts column searches for people at the company in a connected enrichment provider.
  • Auto-import from CRM: brings every contact at the companies with deals in your CRM and keeps them up to date. See How to import contacts from your CRM automatically.

Email enrichment

With an enrichment provider connected in Settings > Integrations (Apollo, Snov.io or Data Stone), LinkedScope finds and validates contacts’ emails.

The wand icon in the Email column marks a contact that can still be enriched. Each email gets a status:

StatusMeaning
VerifiedConfirmed with high confidence.
ValidDeliverable according to technical checks.
Catch-allThe domain accepts any address, so there’s more risk of error.
InvalidUndeliverable or nonexistent.
UnknownCouldn’t be confirmed.

Contacts and Target Accounts lists

Contacts at companies in Target Accounts inherit the company’s list.

When you sync, each Target Accounts list becomes a contact audience, and every contact also goes into the global All audience. Contacts without a list only go into the global audience.

With a CRM connected, the sync also keeps three deal-status audiences: Negócios Abertos, Negócios Ganhos and Negócios Perdidos (open, won and lost deals; the names are created in Portuguese).

They hold the contacts whose company has a deal in that status, including contacts added by hand. This applies to LinkedIn, Google and Meta and doesn’t depend on the automatic CRM import.

See How to sync contacts as audiences on LinkedIn, Google and Meta.

CRM data and tags

  • CRM link: contacts imported from the connected CRM show the View contact in CRM icon next to LinkedIn, which opens the record directly in HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, RD Station CRM or Clientify.
  • CRM Stage filter: filter by No stage, Won deal, Lost deal or the stages of each pipeline. The filter uses the deals of the company associated with the contact; contacts whose company has no deal fall under No stage.
  • Target and Exclusion tags: shown below the company when it is in Target Accounts or on the Exclusion list.
