Woodpecker’s Lead finder is a feature that makes it possible to find leads directly in the Woodpecker app, and add them directly to your database or campaign. It gives you access to the biggest B2B database of potential buyers, which can be found by specifying what is needed with available filters.

To use it to a full extent, i.e. adding found leads to Woodpecker database, you’ll need to have Lead finder credits. A default option we offer is 100 credits for free, per month.

At the top bar of the app, you’ll see a tab called “Lead finder”. You’ll also see the option to use Lead finder when adding prospects to a campaign or database – after clicking on the option to add them “From Lead finder”, you’ll be redirected to the Lead finder tab. Here, you can search for your leads using various filters.

Click on the “Add filter” button and choose the criteria by which you want to find prospects.

You can choose from a few existing filters, i.e., Current job title, Past job title, Country, Industry, Department, Seniority, and filters regarding Companies. If you have a suggestion for another, you can tell us in the form.

If you don't find results when searching with job title abbreviations, like "HR," "CEO," "CFO," etc., try writing the full name of the title or start adding all filters once again.

Every filter has a few options, and you can choose whether to include them or exclude them from the search. This should be especially useful when looking for someone who, for example, works in Sales and has never worked as a Copywriter (or at least has no information on it on their LinkedIn profile). Filters can always be cleared and applied again with different criteria. You can also remove or add some individually to the search.

After choosing every filter, click the “Apply” button and wait until the prospects are found.

When the list is complete, you can choose which leads you want to find their email addresses and other data for and add them to a campaign or database. After clicking on their name, a sidebar with the data found so far will appear.

Either select a few leads and find their email addresses in bulk, then add them to Woodpecker, or select each individually and choose whether to add them.

If you choose to add a lead to a campaign, you’ll be able to select whether to include them in an already existing one or create a new campaign directly there.

If a lead email has been found and added to Woodpecker, tags will indicate where it was added—to the main database, to the campaign, or both.

A default option we offer is 100 credits for free, per month. If you wish to increase it, you can do so in the Billing section of your Woodpecker account.

After scrolling down in the Subscription tab, you will see the bar showing the usage of credits for Lead Finder. If you wish to change the number of credits, click on the "Change" link.

You will then be moved to the panel, where you can choose how many credits to purchase. After confirming the payment, you will be charged a prorated amount.

The new limits will be available from the current monthly session (if on a monthly plan) immediately after confirming the payment process. Old limits and new limits do not combine.

Q.: How large is the database used by the Lead finder?

We have access to a database of over 1 billion contacts/buyers data.

Q.: How will I know how many credits I still have? Will I be informed when I’ve used it all?

The credits left on your account are visible in the Billing tab, under the Subscription plan.

If you’ve used all credits, after trying to add leads to your database, a notification will pop up with the information on no credits left for the current billing session, and their renewal in next monthly session.

You’ll also be notified at the moment of adding leads to a campaign or database when, for example, you’ve selected 10 leads but you only have 1 credit left – notification on the 9 leads exceeding the limit will be visible in the window.

Q.: Will I know if the email addresses found by Lead finder are safe to send to?

Every lead that turns prospect when added to your database or a campaign will have a tag added to them. One of these is the “Lead finder” tag, which is the information that this address was found by this system.

The other ones are “Risky” and “Personal”. The “Risky” tag means this email address is risky and this lead could be bounced. The “Personal” tells you that this email address is not a business email address, so in the end you have to decide whether to contact them.

All email addresses will be validated with Bouncer before sending them a message from the campaign.
