Sales Intelligence & Outbound
What Apollo is.
Apollo combines a large B2B contact database with sequencing and engagement tools, so teams can find, enrich, and reach prospects from one platform. It's a cost-effective backbone for outbound and ICP list-building.
We use it for prospect data and sequencing, often alongside Clay for deeper enrichment.
Apollo pros & cons.
- ✓ Large built-in contact and company database.
- ✓ Native sequencing and engagement.
- ✓ Good value versus buying data and a sequencer separately.
- ✓ Solid Chrome extension and CRM sync.
- – Data accuracy varies by region and role.
- – Sequencing is capable but not best-in-class.
- – Deliverability still depends on your sending setup.
