As a user who enters the tool, you are shown around the panel and you quickly discover all available\u00a0functions. This has been so simple, and at the same time so helpful. Plus, I haven&#8217;t seen that in the other\u00a0tools I reviewed.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2627 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/woodpecker.co\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2016\/12\/AeroLeads-Onboarding-e1481189143763.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"693\" height=\"409\" \/>\n<h3>Integrations<\/h3>\n<p>The Integrations tab includes quite a few CRMs and <span id=\"urn:enhancement-84b2885d\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">emailing<\/span> tools, including Salesforce, Pipedrive, Hubspot, and the famous\u00a0API aggregator \u2013 Zapier. That&#8217;s the greatest number of integrations I&#8217;ve seen in a prospect list building tool. Additionally, the AeroLeads panel includes convenient buttons to export the prospects with a single click.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2626 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/woodpecker.co\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2016\/12\/aero-leads_integration.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"235\" height=\"301\" srcset=\"https:\/\/woodpecker.co\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2016\/12\/aero-leads_integration.png 235w, https:\/\/woodpecker.co\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2016\/12\/aero-leads_integration-234x300.png 234w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 235px) 100vw, 235px\" \/>\n<h3>Uploading prospects from .csv<\/h3>\n<p>You can upload a .csv file including first name, last name and company name of your prospect, to the AeroLeads panel. Their contact data will be found for you. That&#8217;s a nice feature, as it makes the tool flexible and adjustable to various types of prospecting workflows. If you collect your prospects&#8217; data in a spreadsheet first, you can cut a part of your spreadsheet, save it as .csv and import it to AeroLeads in bulk, which saves a lot of time.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2625 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/woodpecker.co\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2016\/12\/AeroLeads-upload-e1481189037230.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"693\" height=\"344\" \/>\n<p>\n<aside class=\"cta-block cta-block--a-version js-cta-block ab-no-10-cta-block ab-no-11-cta-block\">\n  <p class=\"cta-block__heading u-heading-preset-md-600\">Send powerful emails &amp; boost replies<\/p>\n  <div class=\"cta-block__form-container\">\n    <form class=\"js-cta-block-form\" action=\"https:\/\/woodpecker.co\/signup\/\" class=\"cta-block__button-only-form js-cta-block-no-input-form\">\n      \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<button class=\"c-button js-button c-button--color-main c-button--size-small u-focus-visible-outline\">\nStart free trial\n<\/button>    <\/form>\n    \n    <form class=\"c-input-button-form js-cta-block-form cta-block__form\" action=\"https:\/\/woodpecker.co\/signup\/\" method=\"POST\" novalidate>\n        \n  <div class=\"c-form-field js-form-field  c-input-button-form__form-field\">\n    \n    <label class=\"c-label c-form-field__label\" for=\"cta-block-form-email-371642386\">Work email<\/label>\n\n                    \n  <input class=\"c-input  js-input c-input-button-form__input\" placeholder=\"will@woodpecker.co\" name=\"email\" id=\"cta-block-form-email-371642386\" type=\"email\" \/>\n            \n    <span class=\"c-form-field__error js-error\">\n                                      Invalid email format\n        \n\n                <\/span>\n  <\/div>\n\n        <div class=\"c-input-button-form__button\">\n          \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<button class=\"cta-block__button c-button js-button c-button--color-main c-button--size-small u-focus-visible-outline\">\n                Start free trial\n        \n\n<\/button>        <\/div>\n\n            <\/form>\n  <\/div>\n<\/aside><\/p>\n<h3>Unused credits rollover to the next month<\/h3>\n<p>That is a pro-customer approach we do appreciate. If you don&#8217;t manage to use all your credits bought one month, they will be transferred to another month. So you&#8217;ll never lose the credits you once bought.<\/p>\n<p>THINGS THAT\u00a0STILL CAN BE IMPROVED<\/p>\n<h3>Plugin usability<\/h3>\n<p>The plugin shows you a list of prospects copied from the LinkedIn search results page. So you actually see two lists that need to be scrolled separately and compared, before you decide if you want to add a prospect or not.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the prospects whose company details could not be found, are moved to a separate list, below those with company data included. That makes it difficult to compare the LinkedIn results and the lists showing up in the plugin, because the order of prospects differs between the two. I believe simple buttons showing up directly\u00a0on the LinkedIn results page would be definitely more convenient.<\/p>\n<p>It would be also great to have a simple way to jump to the AeroLeads panel from the plugin \u2013 for instance after you click on the logo. Now the plugin and the panel are not smoothly\u00a0connected with each other.<\/p>\n<h3>Duplicate detection<\/h3>\n<p>I&#8217;ve run a little test and added the same prospect twice <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013<\/span> for the first time I used LinkedIn, and for the second time I used Crunchbase. Unfortunately, the prospect showed up twice on my list in the panel, which means I added to my list the same person&#8217;s data twice.<\/p>\n<p>Pushkar explained to me that the duplicate detection in AeroLeads is not based on the email address, but on the url of the person&#8217;s profile on a social platform. That&#8217;s why I was able to add my test prospect twice, because I added her from two different social platforms. So if you&#8217;re prospecting on various platforms, it&#8217;s good to\u00a0be aware\u00a0that some of your contacts may be duplicated by accident.<\/p>\n<h3>Email confidence marking<\/h3>\n<p>AeroLeads uses three confidence level badges to mark all the found emails, which would be great if the green badge were given only to 100% verified correct email addresses.<\/p>\n<p>Most emails marked with green on my list had 100% confidence. But I also found one that was green, but only 50% sure&#8230; Now that&#8217;s quite a difference, isn&#8217;t it? That&#8217;s what made me think the email confidence marking in AeroLeads still needs some improvement.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2628 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/woodpecker.co\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2016\/12\/address-marking.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"471\" height=\"231\" srcset=\"https:\/\/woodpecker.co\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2016\/12\/address-marking.png 471w, https:\/\/woodpecker.co\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2016\/12\/address-marking-300x147.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 471px) 100vw, 471px\" \/>\n<h2><b>To sum up<\/b><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/aeroleads.com\">AeroLeads<\/a>\u00a0Chrome extension has been designed mainly to prospect on LinkedIn.
