The sales team works best with data that connects LinkedIn to the CRM

Every minute spent copying information from LinkedIn into the CRM is a minute not spent on conversations. Surfe completely eliminates this friction.

What is

LinkedIn for HubSpot. Frictionless

Surfe is a browser extension that appears directly on LinkedIn. When the sales team is viewing a profile or searching through a list, the data syncs to HubSpot with a single click: no need to open another window, no need to copy names, and no typos.

The result is a CRM system that is updated in real time, with the right contacts and accurate data, without relying on the team to manually enter information.

It's the difference between a CRM that reflects the reality of lead generation and a CRM that's always two days behind.

How It Works

LinkedIn Profile

The salesperson finds the right decision-maker in the search results or feed.

Surfe detects the profile

The extension displays HubSpot data overlaid on LinkedIn.

1-Click Sync

Contact created or updated in HubSpot with name, job title, company, and email address.

HubSpot Update

Pipelines, sequences, and workflows start automatically.

Problems It Solves

Four Common Flaws in Outbound Tools

Without Surfe, the prospecting process relies on incomplete data, teams that duplicate efforts, and a CRM that doesn't reflect the actual pipeline.

CRM Out of Date by Default

The team prospects on LinkedIn, but the records haven’t been entered into HubSpot. The CRM is filled with incomplete records, incorrect information, and contacts with no associated activity. Pipeline decisions are based on data that doesn’t reflect reality.

Duplicates and Overlapping Prospecting

Without immediate visibility into who is already in the CRM, two sales reps approach the same contact at the same time. Surfe shows, when viewing the profile, whether the contact already exists, what their status is, and who is assigned to them.

Manual prospecting is too slow

Each contact added manually to the CRM takes between 3 and 8 minutes: searching for an email address, copying data, filling out fields, and checking for duplicates. With Surfe, it takes less than 20 seconds. The team can process lists 4 times faster.

Approaches Without Context

Without a history of interactions visible during the prospecting process, sales reps don't know which contacts are new. Surfe displays HubSpot data directly on LinkedIn: notes, deals, and latest activity.

Prospecting and registration updated in the CRM as part of a single process.
