micsapp Account Research
Get a complete picture of any company or person before outreach. This skill always works with web search, and gets significantly better with enrichment and CRM data.
How It Works
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ ACCOUNT RESEARCH │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ ALWAYS (works standalone via web search) │
│ ✓ Company overview: what they do, size, industry │
│ ✓ Recent news: funding, leadership changes, announcements │
│ ✓ Hiring signals: open roles, growth indicators │
│ ✓ Key people: leadership team from LinkedIn │
│ ✓ Product/service: what they sell, who they serve │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ SUPERCHARGED (when you connect your tools) │
│ + Enrichment: verified emails, phone, tech stack, org chart │
│ + CRM: prior relationship, past opportunities, contacts │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Getting Started
Just tell me who to research:
- "Research Stripe"
- "Look up the CTO at Notion"
- "Intel on acme.com"
- "Who is Sarah Chen at TechCorp?"
- "Tell me about [company] before my call"
I'll run web searches immediately. If you have enrichment or CRM connected, I'll pull that data too.
Connectors (Optional)
Connect your tools to supercharge this skill:
| Connector | What It Adds |
|---|---|
| Enrichment | Verified emails, phone numbers, tech stack, org chart, funding details |
| CRM | Prior relationship history, past opportunities, existing contacts, notes |
No connectors? No problem. Web search provides solid research for any company or person.
