How to use Lusha
What is Lusha?
Lusha is a B2B contact data enrichment and prospecting platform. It solves a fundamental problem: when you identify a promising company you want to sell to, Lusha helps you find the right decision-makers' email addresses and phone numbers. It's a data tool for cold outreach and account-based sales strategies, combining a prospecting database with email finder capabilities.
Who is it for?
Lusha is designed for B2B sales teams, business development managers, and growth professionals who conduct outbound prospecting. It's most valuable if your sales model involves reaching out to companies directly, whether through cold email or account-based marketing campaigns. If you sell to other businesses and need to build prospect lists quickly, Lusha accelerates the research phase considerably.

How it fits in your B2B tech stack
Lusha sits upstream of your outbound sales process. You identify target companies (through your own research, market analysis, or inbound leads), use Lusha to find the right contacts, then export those contacts into your CRM or email outreach tool. It integrates with platforms like HubSpot, Salesforce, and Outreach, so you avoid manual copying and pasting. For account-based sales campaigns, Lusha helps you research each account and find the multiple contacts you need to reach in sequence.
Pricing overview
Lusha operates on a credits system. Each email search costs between 1-3 credits, depending on verification quality. Plans typically include £50-300 monthly credit allowances, with pay-as-you-go options available. For a team conducting 100-200 outreach campaigns per month, expect to spend £100-250 monthly. The pricing rewards scale: finding 1,000 contacts monthly is cheaper per contact than finding 100.
Practical verdict
Lusha is directly useful if your bottleneck is finding contact information for outbound sales. Cold email and account-based sales require accurate email addresses, and manual LinkedIn research is painfully slow. Lusha speeds this up significantly. The main limitation is accuracy: like all contact databases, Lusha's data includes some stale or incorrect information, so you need email verification in place. The tool is also only as valuable as your outbound sales process. If you don't have a compelling message, outreach sequence, or follow-up system, having accurate email addresses won't help. For B2B sales teams running systematic outreach campaigns, Lusha is usually essential. Compare it with similar tools (RocketReach, Apollo, Hunter) to see which integrates best with your existing CRM and outreach workflow.
How to automate Lusha
Native integrations
Lusha's marketplace lists CRMs including HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive and Zoho CRM, plus Salesloft, Outreach, Gong, Slack and Gmail. An idea: enrich every new HubSpot contact the moment it is created, so reps never open a record with a blank phone field.
API and webhooks
Lusha has an API for running enrichment and prospecting workflows. Call it from your own system when a form is submitted: send the name and company, get back the email and phone, and route the lead to the right rep. Check the API docs for rate limits and credit use before you automate at volume.
MCP server
Lusha has an official MCP server at mcp.lusha.com, which brings its data into Claude, ChatGPT and other MCP clients. An idea: ask your assistant for the five best leads to call today from a list you describe, and review the answer before anyone dials.
No-code automation
The marketplace lists Zapier, Make, n8n, Pipedream and Clay. A simple flow: when someone books a demo, a Zap enriches the contact in Lusha, writes the result to your CRM and posts a note in Slack.
