Competitive Intelligence for Lead Generation

What HG Insights is

HG Insights is a prospect insights tool in the B2B go-to-market stack. In the vendor's own words: “Competitive Intelligence for Lead Generation.” Put plainly, a tool in this category surfaces what to say to a specific person, not just who they are.

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. HG Insights sits in the prospect insights 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 HG Insights with M for Mercury

HG Insights is a data layer, and data is where LinkedIn outreach either works or wastes a sender. Mercury's Lead Finder searches 450M+ contacts and returns the LinkedIn profile to connect with alongside a verified work email, then enriches whatever is missing column by column. If HG Insights already holds your list, Mercury takes it from there: enrol the audience in a journey, spread it across senders, and pace every send inside safe limits.
