# Apollo Core Workflow A: Lead Search & Enrichment

## Overview
Implement the primary Apollo.io workflow for searching leads and enriching contact/company data. This is the core use case for B2B sales intelligence.

## Prerequisites
- Completed `apollo-sdk-patterns` setup
- Valid Apollo API credentials
- Understanding of your target market criteria

## Instructions
Follow these high-level steps to implement apollo-core-workflow-a:

1. Review the prerequisites and ensure your environment is configured
2. Follow the detailed implementation guide for step-by-step code examples
3. Validate your implementation against the output checklist below

For full implementation details, load: `Read(plugins/saas-packs/apollo-pack/skills/apollo-core-workflow-a/references/implementation-guide.md)`

## Output
- Paginated people search results
- Enriched company firmographic data
- Enriched contact data with emails
- Combined lead pipeline with scoring

## Error Handling
| Error | Cause | Solution |
|-------|-------|----------|
| Empty Results | Too narrow criteria | Broaden search parameters |
| Missing Emails | Contact not in database | Try LinkedIn enrichment |
| Rate Limited | Too many enrichment calls | Implement batching |
| Invalid Domain | Domain doesn't exist | Validate domains first |
