“We use the Chrome Extension in tandem with LinkedIn Sales Navigator. We build the lists in Sales Nav, generate the contact details in the Chrome Extension and sync these to Salesloft sequences. Then the data is routed to HubSpot via the integration.” 

I love the Cognism Extension because I don’t have to spend hours trudging through LinkedIn looking for email addresses. The information is accessible in one click.”

Vinh Ly, CTO and Co-Founder at Moonhub

ZoomInfo’s plug-in took approximately 20 seconds to load a lead, and more often than not, the contact details were incorrect. This was a productivity drain.”  

With Cognism, it’s either instant or takes four seconds. The plug-in’s velocity enables quick-fire prospecting allowing our salespeople to get on with what they do best - selling!”
