Your Next Best Lead. It's Already in Your CRM.
You don't always need a new list — you need the truth about the one you have. InsightSignal now pulls records straight out of your connected CRM, shows you what it found for free, and verifies only the ones you pick.
Your most valuable list is your least trusted one
Every CRM has the same quiet problem: records go in once and then rot. Contacts change jobs, companies merge or close, emails go dead — and none of it announces itself. The long-standing MarketingSherpa benchmark, modeled in HubSpot's database decay simulation, puts B2B data decay at roughly 2.1% per month — about 22.5% of your database going stale every year. And teams feel it: in Validity's State of CRM Data Management in 2025, 76% of respondents said less than half of their organization's CRM data is accurate and complete.
The strange part is what teams do about it. They buy net-new lists — at full price, from vendors they trust even less — while the list they already paid to build, the one full of companies that once said yes to a conversation, quietly becomes the worst data they own. You don't always need a new list. You need the truth about the one you have.
Company in, reachable contact out
Source from your CRM is a new kind of sourcing in InsightSignal — the third way in. Find More Like This discovers new companies from the outside world. Direct CRM push sends verified records out. This closes the missing direction: your CRM itself becomes the input.
Point InsightSignal at a list already sitting in your connected CRM (Freshsales first — more CRMs will follow), and it pulls your own records and runs them through the same multi-source verification as everything else: is the company still operating? Is the contact still there? Is the email still deliverable? The mental model is company in, reachable contact out — every company you feed it comes back with a reachable decision-maker attached.
Two jobs, one flow
The first choice in the wizard is what you're trying to do, because the feature covers two very different situations:
- Find new records. Pull records that aren't yet in InsightSignal, verify them, and grade them against your Ideal Customer Profile. Records you've already worked here are dropped automatically, so you never pay to rediscover your own database.
- Re-verify stale records. Refresh records already in InsightSignal that were last verified more than a set number of days ago — you choose the threshold. This re-checks operational status, employment, and email deliverability, and each record keeps its existing fit score. It isn't re-graded; it's re-proven.
Four steps, no surprises
Starting a run takes a 4-step wizard: Use case → Filters → Scoring → Review.
- Filters. Pick the saved CRM list to pull from — the dropdown shows each list's record count next to its name, e.g. "My Accounts (44)", so you know what you're committing to. Choose the scope (Companies + contacts, or Companies only) and set a cap on how many records to pull.
- Scoring. For find-new runs, pick the ICP the pulled records are graded against — reuse a saved intent profile or describe your target fresh. Re-verify runs skip this step entirely: those records keep the scores they already earned.
- Review. See the worst-case credit estimate, your current balance, and your balance after the run — then launch the free pull.
You see everything before you spend anything
After the free pull finishes, the run pauses at a checkbox review screen showing exactly what came out of your CRM — before a single credit is spent. You pick which records to verify. Deselect any and the credits held for them are released. Cancel at the review and the full hold is released — you're charged nothing.
It's the same review experience as Find More Like This, and it exists for the same reason: nothing gets verified sight-unseen. The upfront estimate is the worst case; the real list is usually shorter, because InsightSignal filters as it pulls.
Smarter than the top 40 rows
Two automatic behaviors are worth calling out, because they're the difference between a feature that demos well and one that holds up on a real, messy CRM:
- It scans deeper for you. A find-new run doesn't stop at the top of your CRM list and show you records you already have. When the top rows are already in InsightSignal, it scans further down the list to surface genuinely fresh records.
- It refreshes in place. When a re-verify run re-checks a record you already own, it updates that record — it never creates a second copy. No duplicate cleanup afterward.
And one more, for the skeptics of the Companies-only scope: even without pulling a separate contact list, InsightSignal still surfaces and enriches one reachable decision-maker per company. You always get a contact out — the scope choice just controls whether a full contact list is pulled and verified too.
The pricing sentence, in full
Reading your CRM is free. Pulling a list, filtering it, and reviewing candidates never consume credits. You only pay to verify the records you keep — held upfront as a worst-case estimate, settled per record on the actual work done.
That's the same discipline as every InsightSignal sourcing path, and it matters doubly here: this is your data, in your CRM, read through your own connection. The pull costs nothing; the verification is the product.
Getting it
There's nothing new to set up. If Freshsales is already connected as a CRM on the Integrations page — the same connection you'd use to push verified data to Freshsales — a Source from Freshsales card appears in the sources list on the Analyze page. Click Start sourcing and the wizard opens.
If you don't see the card, connect Freshsales first, then come back to Analyze. And to be precise about scope: Freshsales is the first source-capable CRM. InsightSignal pushes to six CRMs, but sourcing from them starts here — more will follow.
The cheapest pipeline you'll ever build
The prospecting data problem doesn't start with the list you haven't bought yet — it starts with the one you already own decaying in place. Source from your CRM treats that list as what it actually is: an asset with a decay rate, worth re-proving before you spend another dollar replacing it.
Pull a list, keep what's real, and grade it against what you're actually selling — see understanding InsightSignal grades for how to read what comes back. Try it on your own CRM at signal.insightopus.com, or book a demo and bring your dustiest list.
