🚀 Quick Start Guide
Get from sign-up to your first scored lead file.
Step 1 — Create Your Account
- Go to leedrush.com/register and sign up with your work email.
- Confirm your email address via the activation link.
- Log in at leedrush.com/login — you land on the Dashboard.
Step 2 — Upload Your Lead File
From the Dashboard, click Upload Leads and drop your CSV, Excel or JSON file. Columns:
| Column | Required | Example |
|---|---|---|
email |
✅ Yes | sarah@skynet.com |
full_name |
Optional | Sarah Connor |
company |
Optional | Skynet Cyberdyne |
title |
Optional | VP of Operations |
website |
Optional | skynet.com |
Any file with a header row works — only an email column is required. Column names like Email, Work Email or Company Name are recognised automatically.
Step 3 — The Enrichment Pipeline
After upload, your file runs through six steps in the background (the batch page shows live progress):
The CSV, Excel or JSON file is read and columns are recognised; rows with no usable email are set aside.
Emails are tidied and valid phone numbers are normalised to E.164 (+442079460958).
Each address is checked for format, then for deliverability with mails.so. Undeliverable addresses always stay Cold.
Industry, description and size signals are taken from the company's own website; with your own Apollo key connected, Apollo adds job title, seniority, phone and LinkedIn.
Rows with the same email are left out and never charged.
DeepSeek AI scores each lead against your ideal customer and writes a one-line reason: hot 75+, warm 50–74, cold below 50. You are charged one credit per Hot or Warm lead.
Step 4 — Download or Export to CRM
When your batch status shows COMPLETED, you have three options:
- Download — Export CSV, Excel or JSON from the batch page: all leads, or only Hot and Warm.
- CRM push — Connect HubSpot, Pipedrive or another tool in Integrations, then push leads by hand or turn on auto-push after each file.
- API Polling — Use the API to poll batch status and retrieve results programmatically.
Bigger files take longer — watch the progress on the batch page. How many leads come out Hot or Warm depends on your list and your ideal customer; a single file is never charged more than 500 credits.
Platform Guide
The Leedrush architecture allows you to ingest, filter, and score revenue opportunities at scale.
We don’t need millions of users. We need 50 serious sales teams.
Leedrush is engineered for high-intensity sales organizations that value precision over volume. Our ideal partners are teams that understand that 10 perfectly qualified, real-time opportunities are worth more than 10,000 stale leads.
Traditional data brokers sell lists. We help you keep only the leads worth working: every email checked, every lead scored against your Ideal Customer Profile (ICP).
Data Architecture
Our pipeline processes data through six distinct stages to ensure maximum yield.
- 01 Ingest Upload a CSV, Excel or JSON file, send it through the API, or post contacts to your webhook.
- 02 Normalize Columns are recognised automatically, emails tidied and phone numbers normalised.
- 03 Validate Email format check, then a deliverability check with mails.so.
- 04 Enrich Company website analysis (industry, description, size signals) and email verification.
- 05 Dedup Rows with the same email are left out and never charged.
- 06 Score DeepSeek AI scores each lead 0–100 against your ideal customer, with a one-line reason.

Data Assets
Find and manage the files you have uploaded.
Uploaded Lists
All files (CSV, JSON) uploaded via the dashboard are stored here securely. You can reference them for future re-runs or audits.
Normalization Engine
Garbage in, garbage out. We clean data before it ever hits the enrichment layer.
Columns
Common column names — email, name, company, phone, title, website — are recognised automatically, so you don't have to map them.
Phone numbers
Valid phone numbers are normalised to the international E.164 format.
+44 20 7946 0958→+442079460958
Email & Phone Checks
Every row is checked when your file is processed.
Email Validation
Format check first, then deliverability with mails.so. Undeliverable addresses always stay Cold.
Phone Format
Numbers are checked and normalised to E.164. There is no carrier or line-activity lookup.
Duplicates
Rows with the same email are left out and never charged.
AI Lead Scoring
DeepSeek AI scores every lead 0-100 against your ideal customer profile (or a typical B2B buyer if you haven't set one): Hot 75+, Warm 50-74, Cold below 50.
- Company fit: industry and company size from your file, the company website, or an AI estimate when missing.
- Role fit: seniority and department of the contact (owner, C-level, VP, director, manager).
- Website signals: what the company's own website says about its business.
- Email quality: verified business addresses count in favour; undeliverable ones always stay Cold.
- Explainable: every lead gets a one-line reason, exported in the score_reason column.

}Illustrative row — the exact columns follow your file plus the score, status (hot / warm / cold) and reason.
ICP Scoring
Leads are scored against your Ideal Customer Profile when your file is processed — before anyone on your team contacts them.
What Is ICP?
ICP (Ideal Customer Profile) is a description of the ideal customer a business should focus on, based on:
- Conversion potential
- Average deal size
- Deal velocity
- Real need for the product
Instead of calling or messaging first and only later realizing that a lead is not a good fit, the system performs this evaluation in advance and automatically.
How It Works in Practice
Leedrush:
- Accepts an incoming contact or a lead database
- Scores each lead against your ICP with DeepSeek AI
- Looks at company size, region, role and industry
- Marks poor fits Cold before an SDR spends time on them
CRM Auto-push
CRM auto-push is the automatic delivery of validated leads directly into a CRM system without user involvement.
Traditional vs. Leedrush Workflow
- CSV exports
- Manual imports
- Copying and pasting data
- Errors and context loss
- Automatically
- After each file finishes
- Hot + Warm, or Hot only — your choice
- Direct to HubSpot/Pipedrive
Who This Solution Is For (Leedrush ICP)
Leedrush is designed for:
- outbound SDRs,
- small and mid-sized sales teams,
- lean teams with high workload per individual.
This is not an enterprise solution with dozens of integrations and complex processes.
It is built for:
- SMBs,
- automated outbound workflows,
- teams that prioritize:
- precision,
- speed,
- reasonable pricing.
Why Leedrush Wins
Precision
- The focus is not on lead volume,
- but on lead quality,
- every email is checked when you upload,
- fewer irrelevant contacts and higher conversion rates.
Affordability
- no enterprise-level pricing,
- suitable for daily use,
- budget efficiency due to the absence of paid "noise".
Supported Integrations
🛡 Email Hygiene — List Cleaning
Upload your CSV, classify risky addresses, and export a clean outreach-ready list.
Email Hygiene is a separate tool for cleaning any address list before outreach. Each address is checked with mails.so and gets a status tag, so you know exactly what you're sending to. One check takes up to 1,000 different addresses, and up to 2,000 addresses a day are verified.
Email Status Tags
| Status | Meaning | Recommended Action |
|---|---|---|
| valid | The mails.so check confirmed the mailbox | Safe to send |
| catch_all | Domain accepts all mail — can't confirm individual mailbox | Send with caution |
| role_based | Generic role address (info@, sales@, support@) | Low priority outreach |
| risky | High bounce probability based on domain signals | Exclude from cold outreach |
| invalid | The mails.so check says the mailbox does not exist | Remove from list |
| disposable | Temporary / throwaway address domain | Remove from list |
| unknown | Could not be validated (timeout or greylisted) | Retry or exclude |
How to Use
- Navigate to Email Hygiene from the sidebar.
- Drag and drop or click to upload your CSV file. The file must include an
emailcolumn. - The tool processes each address and shows a live preview table with status tags and KPI cards (Total, Deliverable %, Risky + Unknown).
- Use the filter buttons to isolate valid, risky, or invalid segments, then click Download Clean List to export only deliverable addresses.
🛠 Troubleshooting
Common issues and how to resolve them.
Batch shows FAILED status
- Ensure your CSV has an
emailcolumn with valid values — this is required. - File must be UTF-8 encoded (not Windows-1252 or Latin-1).
- Your plan's file-size and row limits apply; the upload screen tells you if a file is over them.
- If the issue persists, contact support@leedrush.com with your batch ID.
My file is still processing
Larger files take longer; the batch page shows live progress while the status is PROCESSING. Credits are only charged when a file finishes — one per Hot or Warm lead, never more than 500 per file.
CRM push failed or contacts not appearing
- Go to Dashboard → Integrations and verify the CRM connection is shown as Connected.
- If your API key or token changed, update it in Integrations.
- CRM push is included on every plan, including Pay As You Go.
Download button is missing or greyed out
Downloads are only available for batches with COMPLETED status. If the batch completed but the download is missing, try a hard refresh (Ctrl+Shift+R) or contact support.
📋 CSV Format & Limits
- File size and rows: your plan's limits apply
- Formats: CSV, Excel (.xlsx, .xls) or JSON
- Encoding: UTF-8 required (Excel: save as CSV UTF-8)
- Phone numbers: E.164 format preferred
(
+1-555-0123) - LinkedIn URLs: full URL format

Leads as a Service
No list yet? LGaaS finds businesses for you, at Leads as a Service in your dashboard. It has three parts.
1. Find
Describe the businesses you want, e.g. “dentists in Tallinn”. AI picks the business type and place, the D7 Lead Finder business directory returns the businesses (with website, phone and email where listed), and DeepSeek AI scores each one 0–100 with a reason. A new search costs 1 credit; repeating a search and “load more” are free, and nothing is charged when a search finds nothing. Up to 20 new searches a day; new searches are included on Autopilot plans.
2. Lists & outreach
Save the best results to a list and get their emails: the business's own email is checked with mails.so, and with your own Apollo key connected, Apollo looks up decision makers. AI drafts the outreach email and you export a personalised CSV for your sending tool — Leedrush does not send the emails.
3. Autopilot
Pick a plan — Starter €29 (50 leads a month), Growth €79 (200) or Agency €199 (1,000) — and describe your ideal customer. Every 6 hours Leedrush searches for matching businesses and DeepSeek AI keeps only the ones that fit, up to your plan's monthly number. Qualified leads can be exported or pushed to your CRM automatically.
