What data does an AI SDR need?
An AI SDR needs the right people, current company context, contact channels and spending controls. Here's the checklist, and how to connect one to Enricho.
"AI SDR" agents research prospects, pick who to contact and draft outreach. They're only as good as the data underneath. Here's what that data layer needs, and how it maps to Enricho.
1. The right people
Your agent should search by the things that define your buyer:
- Role and seniority: for example heads of sales, VPs of marketing, founders.
- Company: industry, employee size band, or specific target accounts by domain.
- Location and skills, when they matter.
Enricho's person_search takes these as filters. Lists match any value, and different filters combine with AND. For account-based plays, the agent searches companies first and then people at those domains.
2. Company context
To write a relevant message, the agent needs the employer's industry, size, website and headquarters. Every full person record in Enricho includes the current employer, and company_search returns full company records.
3. Contact channels
Work email, phone and LinkedIn where on file. Your agent can require a channel (for example "only people with an email") so it never pays for records it can't use.
4. Controls
This is what separates a safe agent from an expensive one:
| Control | How Enricho handles it |
|---|---|
| Look before paying | preview: true returns a free sample of up to 10 records |
| Page size | Full searches return 1–100 records per page; more pages only on request |
| Budgets | Paired enrichment requires authorize_paid and a credit_budget (1–100) |
| No double contact | Exclusions by company domain, company ID or person ID |
| Balance checks | account_usage reports credits left; insufficient credits reject a page with no partial charge |
| Planning | sales_discover and sales_tool_inspect are free and never touch records |
