Any practical way to automate lead data collection?

[Griffin Rivka]

I'm trying to cut down the amount of time I spend manually checking company details, verifying contacts, and keeping lead info consistent across tools. It feels like every new lead takes forever to research, and I'm wondering if there's a reliable, mostly automated way to enrich this data without sacrificing accuracy. Has anyone here solved this in a clean, scalable way?

I recently looked into this and found some helpful points in the article https://growthscribe.com/how-integrating-a-lead-enrichment-api-transforms-sales-workflows/ "How Integrating a Lead Enrichment API Transforms Sales Workflows". They explain how using something like Generect's enrichment API removes most of the manual digging. You connect it through a simple API key, and your system starts receiving structured company and contact data automatically. What stood out to me is that the enrichment runs in the background, stays updated, and integrates smoothly with CRMs, which keeps lead records consistent without extra effort.
