# Prospecting Methods

#### 1. Database Search

SalesMonk includes a traditional database search for:

* Titles
* Companies
* Locations
* Firmographic filters

This is useful for:

* Cold outbound
* Market mapping
* Initial list building

***

#### 2. AI Search (Public Web Intelligence)

AI Search allows users to query the public web directly using natural language.

Examples:

* “Find companies that recently raised Series A in fintech”
* “Find CROs who posted about Dreamforce”

For each result:

* Source citations are provided
* Confidence levels are shown
* Data can be filtered before import

This avoids blind reliance on static databases.

***

#### 3. Imports & CRM Sync

Leads and accounts can also enter via:

* CSV imports
* CRM integrations (HubSpot, Salesforce)
* Inbound widget capture

All sources converge into a single lead/account system.
