Glossary entry
CRM enrichment
The process of automatically filling in missing fields on CRM accounts and contacts — company size, industry, technographics, last funding round, exec moves. The boring infrastructure that makes everything else work: a CRM with 40% missing firmographic fields is a CRM you can't run signal-anchored outbound from. Sources: People Data Labs, Apollo, ZoomInfo, Clearbit, Mama. Best practice: enrich on creation, re-enrich quarterly, never write back unverified data.
01Definition
TLDR
The process of automatically filling in missing fields on CRM accounts and contacts — company size, industry, technographics, last funding round, exec moves.

Sources: People Data Labs, Apollo, ZoomInfo, Clearbit, Mama. Best practice: enrich on creation, re-enrich quarterly, never write back unverified data.
02Why it matters
Clean CRM data is the prerequisite for everything else. Skip this and your ICP rubric scores against garbage.
03Example
Worked example
500 accounts imported from a trade-show list → enrichment pass fills industry/size/tech stack on 420 of them, flags 80 for manual review.
