Whether you’re a multinational enterprise, a two-person start-up, or anything in between, sales leads are critical to your success. Techniques for sales lead generation range from trolling social networking sites to tapping into other kinds of online and offline sources, to old-fashioned cold calling of names pulled from phone books.
Performing business lead generation in any of these ways consumes time that reps would rather spend talking to qualified customers and closing deals. Worse still, these manual sales lead generation techniques often yield less than useful results, in the form of incorrect phone numbers and partial or outdated data. This type of faulty information leads to more wasted effort and expense pursuing “dead dials” and abandoned email addresses.
Data.com takes the drudgery, guesswork, and inaccuracy out of business lead generation. It’s the only service that gathers world-class sales lead generation data from trusted sources, unifies it, and delivers it to you right inside Salesforce CRM.
Clean, complete sales lead data is the key to marketing success, sales productivity, and widespread CRM adoption. Despite their best attempts at sales lead generation, most enterprises end up with data that falls far short of the mark: 70 percent of the average sales lead database goes bad annually, and 91 percent of CRM data is less than complete.
Data.com is not just the best sales lead generation source—it’s also the most thorough and reliable way to repair the incomplete and stale data hampering your business lead generation efforts.
