Thirty percent of contact lists and databases are outdated after 3-6 months.
When did you last validate your lists?
Marketing and Sales databases are often filled with incorrect and out-of-date information for the sake of volume. Companies know how inefficient and cost-ineffective it is to utilize outdated info, let alone to dedicate the time of an experienced sales person to updating an inaccurate database.
It has been our experience that databases lose their accuracy at the rate of 30% per quarter. People move, relocate, or change jobs and it is difficult for companies to timely track this movement. If you use a poor-quality list for marketing and sales, you could unintentionally be starting out with a high miss rate right out of the gate. Moreover, if you send emails to incorrect addresses, you could alert spam filters and potentially be blacklisted. This is why a clean database is so important and why cleansing needs to be an ongoing process. Using our List Validation Services can be a preventative approach to save your business both time and money.
Also known as database scrubbing, database varification/validation is the process of identifying and removing incorrect entries in a database. We make sure your database does not have inaccurate, incomplete, incorrectly formatted, or duplicate data entries.
What differentiates aMarketForce from other list developers is that our secondary research is supplemented by calling each contact directly to verify the accuracy of our generated data.
