The 60% You're Wasting: It's Time to Reclaim It

“Are you actually selling, or just lost in a sea of tabs?” You start your day aiming for peak sales team efficiency, ready to close deals. But instead, you’re stuck manually copying customer data across Gmail, Confluence, Google Drive, and Slack. According to Salesforce, reps spend only 40% of their time actually selling. The rest? It’s swallowed by the “search.” While many teams look for a new lead enrichment tool to find external data, the real bottleneck is often internal. The speed of turning a lead into a deal depends on how fast you can access the intelligence already living inside your company. Stop digging through a static, fragmented intranet. Meet Refinder—your new AI Agent that acts as a high-performance sales collaboration software, answering instantly from your entire workspace.

5 Ways to Stop Searching and Start Selling

1. Internal Lead Enrichment: Context That External Tools Miss

Most lead enrichment tools give you public data—names, titles, and company sizes. But a win often depends on internal context. Refinder retrieves the exclusive history that no cold database can provide.

  • How to use it: When you need a 360-degree view of a client right before a call, simply ask Refinder: “Tell me about Company A.” Instead of just seeing a name in your CRM, you walk into the room armed with ‘internal weapons’—the ultimate form of lead enrichment.

2. Sales Collaboration: Eliminate the "Question-Wait-Answer" Lag

In high-velocity sales, the hour you spend waiting for a Slack reply can be the difference between a won deal and a lost lead. Refinder functions as a real-time sales collaboration software, summoning your team’s collective intelligence in seconds.
