Accepting suggestions

To add a suggested account to your active list, click Activate on the account. You can also select multiple accounts at once and activate them in bulk.

Rejecting suggestions

When a suggestion isn’t a fit, click Reject and confirm. The account is removed from your queue and won’t resurface.
Expect 80–90% of suggestions to be good fits. A handful being off is normal — accounts sometimes mislabel their industry, or your ICP filters catch adjacent companies that don’t quite fit. Reject those and move on.

If you’re rejecting a lot

Frequent rejections are a signal that your search filters need tuning, not that Suggestions isn’t working. Here’s how to diagnose it: Start with your firmographic filters. Go to Edit Search and check:
  • Geography — are you seeing accounts from regions you don’t serve?
  • Industry — are you getting adjacent industries that aren’t actually your ICP?
  • Employee count — are the companies consistently too large or too small?
If firmographics look right, add a characteristic signal as a Must Have. This is one of the best uses of the Must Have setting — not to find buying moments, but to define hard ICP requirements. For example:
  • Does use ZoomInfo? (if you only sell to data-driven sales teams)
  • Does offer [specific service]?
  • Does use [specific technology]?
A single well-chosen Must Have can dramatically tighten your results without collapsing the result count the way stacking multiple Must Haves does.
