ChatAE Contacts: Ditch Your Contact Data Provider

Dustin Beaudoin ·

The Contact Data Problem

Most enterprise sales teams are juggling multiple tools for contact data.

Apollo for emails. LeadIQ for phone numbers. Clay for enrichment. LinkedIn for profiles. Spreadsheets for organization. CRM for storage.

Each tool solves one part of the problem, but none solve the whole problem. You're copying data between tools, managing multiple subscriptions, and maintaining separate workflows. The contact data you need lives across different systems, and getting it into your account planning workflow requires manual work.

This creates friction that kills execution. When contact data is hard to find, you don't use it. When it's scattered across tools, you can't maintain it. When it's not integrated into your workflow, it doesn't help you sell.

ChatAE Contacts: Everything You Need, Integrated

ChatAE Contacts is live, and it does everything you've been using Apollo, LeadIQ, or Clay for contact data — but faster, simpler, and fully integrated into your account planning workflow.

Search, enrich, and export every relevant contact across all your accounts. No more juggling tools, tabs, or spreadsheets. No more copying data between systems. No more managing multiple subscriptions.

Contacts pulls contacts from every account workspace and enriches them through the same premium networks those vendors use — and more — with a waterfall strategy for maximum coverage and accuracy.

You get clean, verified emails, mobile numbers, and LinkedIn profiles all in one view. All integrated into the account planning workflow you're already using.

Why Integration Matters

Most contact data tools are standalone. They help you find contacts, but they don't help you use them. You export data to spreadsheets, import it into CRM, and manually connect it to your account planning.

This creates a workflow problem. Contact data becomes a separate activity from account planning. You do your research, then you do your contact enrichment, then you try to connect the two. The work compounds because nothing is integrated.

ChatAE Contacts solves this by integrating contact data directly into your account planning workflow. Contacts from your account research are already there. Enrichment happens automatically. Export happens when you need it. The workflow is seamless because everything is in one place.

When contact data is integrated into account planning, it becomes actionable. You can see which contacts are relevant for which accounts. You can enrich contacts as part of your research process. You can export contacts when you're ready to reach out. The friction disappears because the workflow is unified.

Premium Data, Maximum Coverage

ChatAE Contacts uses the same premium data networks that Apollo, LeadIQ, and Clay use — and more.

We pull from multiple data providers and use a waterfall strategy: if one provider doesn't have the contact, we try the next. This maximizes coverage and accuracy. You get the best data available, not just what one provider has.

But more importantly, you get it integrated into your account planning workflow. The contact data isn't in a separate tool — it's part of the account intelligence you're already building. When you research an account, the contacts are there. When you plan your outreach, the contacts are enriched. When you're ready to execute, the contacts are ready to use.

This is what makes ChatAE Contacts different. It's not just contact data — it's contact data integrated into account planning. It's not just enrichment — it's enrichment that happens automatically as part of your workflow.

For Team & Enterprise: Deeper GTM Integrations

For our Team & Enterprise customers, ChatAE Contacts unlocks deeper GTM integrations that make Contacts part of your execution workflow, not just a directory.

Here's what that means:

Sync contacts with your CRM (Salesforce, HubSpot, etc.). Contacts enriched in ChatAE automatically sync to your CRM. No manual export. No data entry. The contacts you research become the contacts in your CRM.

Bulk-generate personalized emails and sync to Outreach/SalesLoft/Gmail. Use ChatAE's Account-Based Messaging to generate personalized emails for contacts, then sync them directly to your engagement platform. The workflow goes from research to outreach without leaving ChatAE.

Sync contacts to existing account plan spreadsheets. If you're using spreadsheets for account planning, ChatAE Contacts can sync contact data directly to them. Your account plans stay current without manual updates.

Assign contacts to your reps or BDRs. Distribute contacts across your team directly from ChatAE. Assign contacts based on account ownership, territory, or any other criteria. The workflow is built in.

Map contact data to product usage data. For existing customer accounts, connect contact data to product usage data. See which contacts are using which features. Understand engagement at the contact level, not just the account level.

These integrations turn ChatAE Contacts into an execution platform, not just a directory. Contacts become part of your workflow, not a separate activity.

From Research to Action

Contacts is now a core part of ChatAE's overall role as the account execution platform, moving beyond just research to action.

When contact data is integrated into account planning, it enables execution. You can research accounts, enrich contacts, generate outreach, and sync to CRM — all in one workflow. The friction disappears because everything is connected.

This is where account planning needs to go: from research to execution, from insight to action, from understanding to outreach. ChatAE Contacts makes this possible by integrating contact data into the account planning workflow you're already using.

The Future of Contact Data

Contact data providers have been solving the wrong problem. They've been focused on data quality and coverage, but they haven't been focused on workflow integration.

ChatAE Contacts solves both. You get premium data with maximum coverage, and you get it integrated into your account planning workflow. You don't need separate tools for contact data because contact data is part of account planning.

This is the future of contact data: not standalone tools, but integrated workflows. Not separate activities, but unified execution. Not multiple subscriptions, but one platform that does it all.
