Good Luck! Just wondering, is where is your prospecting tool getting it's information? Is the contact info from LI/ other prospecting tools?

I've used my share of prospecting tools and the main issue I've dealt with isn't technogrpahics or firmographics but rather the quality of contact info, so wondering where you get this info. Some prospecting tools, like Zoominfo, have teams that verify emails and phone numbers

We're currently experimenting, using a combination of scraping websites, social, job boards, and different data services.

Do I understand you correctly, that the company provided would have been a good lead, but the actual contact of the person, their role, etc was off?

The issues would mostly be around stale data/ wrong titles. Even if you verify contact details periodically people can still change jobs in between.

Thanks! Good to know. Zoominfo feels expensive though.
