Christian Lim, cofounder of Youno, a French GTM agency specializing in CRM architectures and outbound systems for B2B companies, shares his step-by-step playbook for CRM deduplication and enrichment — the foundational work he believes every company must do before deploying AI agents for outbound. Christian demonstrates live workflows inside Cargo (a tool he compares to a mix of Clay and n8n, more ops-oriented) showing how he deduplicates both company and contact records using a combination of ID matching, LinkedIn profile matching, and OpenAI prompts that act as a second-pass verification layer. He reveals that clients typically have at least 15-25% duplicate records in their CRMs. After deduplication, he walks through a comprehensive enrichment workflow that normalizes company names, classifies company size and sector using OpenAI prompts against LinkedIn and website data, and assigns ICP tiering (gold, silver, bronze) before pushing clean records back to HubSpot. Christian also showcases an AI agent built on Dust and connected to Slack that lets sales reps ask natural language questions to find contact emails, phone numbers, and LinkedIn profiles on the fly — making the team two times more productive. The conversation closes with advice for founders: involve your whole team in AI adoption, find one internal champion, and never skip the CRM foundation work.
