Claim
This n8n workflow saves our sales team 10 hours+ a week. 10 hours X 8 reps = 80 hrs. That's at least $10,000 saved monthly. The Problem: Spending 20+ minutes researching each prospect manually.
Mechanism
The best part: Zero manual work after setup. And the cost per report is $0.47 in API calls.
Conditions
Holds when: the operating context matches the post's stated frame (team shape, stage, tooling, buyer type).
Fails when: the practice is lifted into a different stage or buyer context without reworking the underlying mechanism.
Evidence
"10 years ago this kind of research took interns, VAs, or SDR armies. Now it’s a $0.47 API chain. Wild to think how fast the sales ops function is evolving."
