Affinity

What Affinity is

Affinity is a warm intro tool in the B2B go-to-market stack. In the vendor's own words: “Relationship Intelligence Reimagined.” Put plainly, a tool in this category finds the person in your network who can introduce you.

Affinity appears in 8 categories here — Warm Intro, CRM APIs, Boolean Search Tools, CRMs, Sales Portal Software, Sales Team Management Software and others — which usually means it covers more than one job rather than doing a single thing narrowly.

Where it sits in an outbound stack

Most outbound stacks are four layers: the data that decides who you talk to, the channel that carries the message, the writing that earns a reply, and the system of record that remembers what happened. Affinity sits in the warm intro layer. Tools beside it are worth comparing on coverage and price; tools in the other layers are worth wiring to it rather than replacing it with.

Using Affinity with M for Mercury

Affinity sits on the email side of the stack. Mercury sits on the LinkedIn side and does not try to be your sending platform — Lead Finder returns a verified work email next to every LinkedIn profile and pushes it straight into Smartlead, Instantly, PlusVibe or EmailBison, so Affinity keeps doing what it is good at while the connection request and the LinkedIn follow-up run in Mercury. One person, both channels, without the two lists drifting apart.
