Mark's hot take

“For me, Deep Lookup represents the future of list building and enrichment. Leveraging natural language to prompt the tool removes a lot of the barriers to building quality lists. However, you'll need to have a very clear understanding of your ICP, Personas and what data you plan on researching for enrichment.”
