# How Oneprofile works

> The two-minute tour: one loop from finding leads to reading replies, and the words the app uses along the way.

Oneprofile is one loop: find the right people, enrich them in a table, reach out, and read the replies. Every screen in the sidebar is a stop on that loop.

## The loop

<Steps>
  <Step title="Find leads">
    Search people and companies with filters, or import what you already have. The result is always a table. See [Find leads](/find-leads/find-people-and-companies).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enrich the table">
    Columns fill in emails, phones, and firmographics from the catalog, or answers from an agent. See [Enrichment columns](/tables/columns/enrichment-columns).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Reach out">
    A sequence sends email and LinkedIn steps from your senders, at a safe pace. See [Build a sequence](/outreach/build-a-sequence).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Read the replies">
    Every conversation lands in the inbox, whichever channel it came from. See [Inbox](/outreach/inbox).
  </Step>
</Steps>

## The words that matter

| Word     | What it means here                                                   |
| -------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Table    | Where your leads live. Every search and import ends in one.          |
| Row      | One person or company.                                               |
| Column   | One fact about every row, filled by an enrichment, an agent, or you. |
| Run      | Background work filling cells. You see its cost before it starts.    |
| Credits  | What runs spend. Only rows that get an answer are charged.           |
| Sender   | One person your sequences write as, with their mailboxes.            |
| Sequence | The steps of your outreach, email and LinkedIn alike.                |

## Good to know

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Do I have to start with Find leads?">
    No. Import a CSV or sync from a tool you already use, then enrich and reach out the same way.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How do I know what anything costs?">
    Every paid action shows its price before you run it, and your balance is always in the top bar.
