- Conclusion
Every sales rep knows that inaccurate or insufficient lead data can cost more than just wasted time and resources; poor-quality data can lead to missed sales opportunities, low customer retention rates, and a negative brand reputation.
And all of these things do more than trickle down to the bottom line — they make a much more lasting impact than your next balance sheet.
Fortunately, there’s a sales software tool that can help combat the impacts of poor-quality or hard-to-source lead data: the lead database.
The lead database is an organized, targeted, streamlined collection of potential customers for a business, usually including (but not limited to) any combination of the following contact details for each contact:
- Name
- Role at company
- Phone number
- Email address
- Social media profiles
- Industry
- Region
Some lead databases also include more granular data, like revenue estimates, technographics, and intent data.
The point of a lead database is to ensure that sales and marketing teams always have access to a steady pipeline of good-fit leads, complete with enriched profiles that make it easy to contact them, build relationships, and close deals.
To that end, sales teams need to choose a lead database that will help them leverage the massive amounts of lead data available to them so that they can prioritize those that represent the best fit and are most interested in buying.
The right platform for your team should also have high standards for accuracy, organization, and usability.
In this article, we’ve put together the most comprehensive review of lead databases available on the internet, including pros, cons, and pricing information for 35+ of the most popular platforms.
