InsideView Insights helps you expand your referral network significantly and get warm introductions to your prospects by providing a single platform to leverage all your existing social and professional contacts as connections.
Connections is one of the most powerful features of InsideView Insights because connections allow you to consolidate your professional network, which may be dispersed across various places, into a single location where the information is always at your fingertips.
InsideView Insights lets you combine professional contacts from LinkedIn, Gmail, Outlook, and other sources. You can supplement this information by entering your education, past employers, reference customers, and contacts that you flag as Connections within InsideView Insights.
You can expand your network with Connections and increase the likelihood of finding contacts who can help you reach your target account.

How it works
- You provide us your contact list from Gmail, Google, Outlook or LinkedIn.
- InsideView Insights matches your contacts against the executives in the database. If your contacts exist, Insights creates a link to review the information in the "People You Know" tab.
- If any of your contacts do not exist in the database, Insights does not add those people in the database because that would be a violation of your privacy rights.
You can use any or all of the following categories to set up your connections in InsideView Insights and connect with target companies and contacts:
- People You Know import your contacts from LinkedIn, Gmail, and Outlook to identify connections and find referrals to a company or specific person through the people you know.
- Current Employer view connections from the company where you are currently working who can act as referrals.
- Work History enter the companies that you've worked for to identify connections and find referrals to your prospects through your previous employers and co-workers.
- Reference Customers add satisfied customers who would be willing to provide you with a testimonial or an introduction to people in their professional network. These reference customers are like your personal reference customers added by you.
- Education enter the names of all the colleges and universities you have attended to find referrals through your fellow alumni.
- Company Reference Customers add satisfied customers who would be willing to provide you with a testimonial or an introduction to people in their professional network. The company reference customers are assigned to your account by an InsideView’s customer success manager (CSM). Please connect with your Customer Success Manager to set-up your Company Reference Customers.
Note: When you import your contacts into InsideView, all of them may not be imported. To understand how this works, read the article, 'Why Don't I See All of my LinkedIn, Gmail, and Outlook Connections in InsideView' on our Knowledge Base.
