Hi Everyone —

I’m curious about the different tools that everyone uses to keep organized, generate leads etc. Particularly interested in any no-code solutions or Zapier type automations that folks find interesting

At Bridgeway we use the following tools:

- CRM / Deal Tracker: 4Degrees // This syncs to your email and populates follow up items relatively automatically. It lacks a meaningful phone integration to track outbound calls. We’re looking at using OpenPhone and a Zapier connection to bridge the divide here.
- SharePoint: Information Database
- Deal / Company Information: PitchBook

Mark. Here are a couple we've settled on so far:

- Copper (CRM)
- PersistIQ (Bulk Email)
- Debounce.io (Email Validation)
- Voila Norbert (Email Retrieval)
- Azure Bing API (Company LinkedIn Page Search & Other Custom Searches via Scripts)
- Amazon Mechanical Turk (Bulk Tasks)

I've developed our sourcing scripts. Each one is made to feed into (and use) these systems, otherwise the custom software burden gets pretty high.
