Share:

Leverage contact & social data to boost discovery, personalization, and engagement, in the Derrick web app or without leaving Google Sheets

Tired of guessing who to reach out to, or where?
Tired of clicking through footers, LinkedIn search bars, and half-empty CRM fields?

Smart sales teams use Derrick App to instantly reveal the best contact channels and social handles for every prospect - and feed that intelligence into their pipeline.

In this playbook, I’ll show you how to go from “just a URL” to fully enriched, multi-touch ready profiles in minutes.

Derrick App Features Used in This Playbook

  • Email & Social Extractor: Find emails, phone numbers, and up to 12 social links from any website
  • Enrich Company (derrick feature): Get company size, industry, tagline, LinkedIn URL, and more
  • Web app or Google Sheets: All data flows into your list in the web app, or directly into your sheets, for instant action

Use Case #1: Know Who You’re Talking To

“Retrieve the company’s LinkedIn in 1 click, then enrich it with Derrick”

The Problem:

  • You go into calls with only a domain name
  • You waste time guessing what the company does
  • You can’t find their LinkedIn or their actual name quickly

The Solution:

Use Derrick’s extractor to get the official LinkedIn URL of the company → then use the Enrich Company feature to pull detailed info: industry, employee count, pitch line, location, etc.

How to Set It Up:

  1. Start with a list of websites in the Derrick web app or your Google Sheet
  2. Run Email & Social Extractor → Derrick pulls available social links, including LinkedIn
  3. Use the resulting LinkedIn URLs in the Enrich Company Feature
  4. Derrick will return:
    • Company Name
    • Tagline / Description
    • Industry
    • Company Size
    • Country / Language
    • Type (B2B, SaaS, Ecommerce…)
    • …

Why It Works:

  • You walk into every call knowing exactly what they do
  • You avoid embarrassing mismatches ("So… are you a SaaS or a service?")
  • You can tailor your messaging by vertical, size, or maturity

In the web app or Google Sheets

Every public channel, from the domain alone

The three sales moves in this article all start with knowing where the company is reachable. Derrick reads the website from your list and returns the emails and the social profiles published on it, in columns you can filter.

Feature
Email & Social Extractor from website
Credit cost
2 credits per call

The first button opens the web app (nothing to install): 2 credits per call, available from the STANDARD plan. The second details the feature and its cost per plan.

The app works through your list row by row: 2 credits per call.

“Get every reachable channel for each company you target”

The Problem:

  • Your CRM only has a domain and maybe an email
  • You don’t know where to follow up: LinkedIn? Twitter? Telegram?
  • Your reps copy/paste links manually (and inconsistently)

The Solution:

Use Derrick to populate your CRM with verified social links for each account.
You get up to 12 types: LinkedIn, Twitter/X, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, Telegram, Pinterest, and more.

How to Set It Up:

  1. Input company websites into the Derrick web app or a Derrick-powered Google Sheet
  2. Run the Email & Social Extractor
  3. Push the results back to your CRM via Zapier or CSV export
  4. (Optional) Create a “Reachable Channels” field with tags like linkedin, twitter, telegram

Why It Works:

  • Reps immediately see which channels are available
  • Multichannel sequences are easier to build
  • No more guessing - just launch your workflows

Pro tip: Combine this with your Lead Owner logic to only enrich leads assigned to active reps.

Use Case #3: Engage with High-Value Accounts Before Reaching Out

“Touch every social profile the company owns, get noticed by your leads”

The Problem:

  • Your cold email lands out of nowhere = ignored
  • Your SDR team isn’t building real brand visibility
  • You’re invisible until you ask for something

The Solution:

Use the extracted social links to engage before you ask.
Like a post on LinkedIn. Drop a relevant comment on Instagram. Follow their Telegram channel. Show up where they already are.

How to Set It Up:

  1. After enrichment (use case #2), filter for companies with multiple social links
  2. Assign a rep or VA to interact lightly with those accounts for 2-3 days
  3. Log these interactions in a "pre-warm" tab of your CRM
  4. Launch your email or LinkedIn campaign after they’ve seen your name

Why It Works:

  • Cold outreach becomes warm
  • Your name is familiar before you pitch
  • Prospects are more likely to reply to someone who already showed interest

Combine this with tools like Phantombuster, HeyReach, or Taplio for semi-automated social engagement.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What can an email and social extractor pull from a website?

Starting from just a company URL, an extractor returns email addresses, phone numbers, and up to 12 types of social links: LinkedIn, Twitter/X, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, Telegram, Pinterest, and more. That replaces clicking through footers and search bars manually for every prospect.

How do I find a company's LinkedIn page from its website?

Run the Email & Social Extractor on the website URL: it pulls the available social links, including the official company LinkedIn URL. You can then feed that URL into a company enrichment step to get the industry, employee count, tagline, location, and company type, so you walk into every call knowing exactly what the company does.

How do I get extracted social links into my CRM?

Run the extraction in the Derrick web app or in a Google Sheet, then push the results to your CRM via Zapier or a CSV export. A useful extra step is a 'Reachable Channels' field with tags like linkedin, twitter, or telegram, so reps see at a glance where each account can be contacted.

Why engage with a prospect's social profiles before emailing them?

A cold email that lands out of nowhere usually gets ignored. Interacting lightly with an account's social profiles for 2-3 days first (a like on LinkedIn, a relevant comment, a follow) makes your name familiar before you pitch. Prospects are far more likely to reply to someone who already showed interest in them.

Can I build a multichannel sequence from extracted social data?

Yes. Knowing which channels each account actually has lets you build sequences around LinkedIn, email, or other platforms instead of guessing. For the pre-warm engagement layer, the extracted links combine well with tools like Phantombuster, HeyReach, or Taplio for semi-automated social interactions.
