Pointers to consider while buying B2B Contact Lists

Information may not be reliable

B2B contact lists that are outside your buyer persona or prospect criteria or include inaccurate information like wrong email, a phone number can break the best campaigns. 

With the accurate B2B contact list, you can get access to current and relevant market information, reach and connect with your target audience, boost your marketing and sales qualified leads, and ultimately generate a higher ROI.

1. Pick a reputable company

You can find a superior data provider by looking for a reputation. These may include company websites, transparent and easy-to-find contact information, and reviews.

2. Compare your data provider vendors

Make a comparison chart of the data vendors you can get services from and check the best suitable solution for your needs. Choose the vendor that best matches your needs and requirements.

3. Identify your ideal target audience

To identify the people or businesses you’re going to target, you need to identify your ideal client. You can do this by examining the characteristics of the existing clients you’ve sold to most successfully in the past. Using these traits, you can create a profile of your ideal client.

4.Do not go for a one size fits all lists

In the world of B2B marketing, “one size fits all” is a concept that doesn’t exist. Every company has a different industry, marketing niche, and buyer persona. A good data vendor will let you build custom contact lists based on your needs instead of trying to sell you a pre-existing list.

5.Conduct a test on the contact lists

Ideally, the company you plan on purchasing a list will allow you to test a list before buying. By testing a leads list, you’ll be able to determine if it includes prospects who’ll have a genuine interest in your products or services before you commit to buying a full list of contacts.

6. Is the data dynamic when was it last built

The best email list vendors test their data frequently to determine how accurate it is. They will have an idea of what percentage of their correspondence received a hard bounce, what percentage received a soft bounce, and what percentage was able to transmit.

7.Get a custom contact list

The best data vendors will give you a smart profile selection options that let you choose the right contacts using firmographic, demographic, technographic, and geographic information.

8. Check how often the list updated

Find a data vendor that tracks and updates contacts consistently—not one that sells old, dead lists. It is important that your list has regularly verified contact information and which is GDPR compliant.

9. Check for the data source

Always know that the data is reliably sourced before purchasing the list. Your data providers should be certified by at least a few acts or associations like the Data Protection Act, Direct Marketing Association (DMA).
