Verification is the stepping stone to Data Victory


In the previous post we saw a classic scenario when a tele sales executive calls up the wrong person and ends up showing his company in poor light. Such situations are commonplace in small and big organizations when we’re aggressively trying to sell our new product.

                                            

How do we get maximum ROI from our investment on email and telephone lists? How do we efficiently deploy data management? By immediately exploiting these 2 fool-proof techniques.

        ·         Email Verification
        ·         Tele Verification


Email Verification
In order to reach more consumers, you’ve filled your database with umpteen contacts. In the process of gathering these addresses, certain minor details usually escape your observant eye (The @ sign, misplaced underscores, etc). As time went by, the owners of many of these email addresses might’ve migrated to a new address unknown to you. Another issue that may arise is that your prospects are no longer interested in your newsletter or product. So all the money that you spend on sending emails to these addresses essentially goes down the drain or worse, your company loses its reputation as a good sender.

So if you employ email verification, you can be rest assured that every email you send gets delivered to your prospect, does not hard bounce and is never marked as spam.

Telephone Verification
If email data decays at the rate of 3% a month, the quantum of telephone numbers getting changed is a lot higher. Making calls is also more expensive than sending emails. Also, people generally get the number format wrong. This can escalate into a costly issue because of the out-of-state and out-of-country charges that apply.

Hence if you implement telephone verification, you save on all these head-aches and easily reach the person you want to speak to.

B2Bdatapartners has a consummate email and tele verification process that ensures every email and every telephone number in your database is fresh, active, complete and opted-in. Use it to experience its benefits.

Don't speak to those who Don't want to listen to you


Imagine you have just gone to sleep, tired after slogging for the last 16 hrs to meet a deadline and the phone rings, “Good Morning Sir. I’m Scott calling from XYZ insurance company. Would you like to try our new policy?” You will slam down the phone and curse the sales person and the company for making such annoying phone calls.

In reality, Scott had checked who he was calling and made sure this was the right time to call. He also knew that this person would most likely buy the new insurance policy. Then where did Scott go wrong? In the telephone number that he dialed. His prospect had changed his number the previous month but Scott had his old number which was now being used by someone else. If the prospect had also changed his email address, Scott’s email id would’ve been marked as spam, or worse, if his email had hard bounced, his company would've been blacklisted.

How could Scott have avoided all this embarrassment? By verifying telephone numbers and email addresses beforehand. Data verification has 2 major benefits:

      1.  Getting in touch with your prospects on their current phone numbers and email ids.
      2.  Not troubling those who are not interested. They will go out of their way to mark you as spam.

Using unverified data depletes your resources while unnecessarily showing your company in poor light. Don’t lose the trust of those who might just be your future prospects. Use B2Bdatapartners’ Data Verification tool to reach only those who want to listen to you. Save your time and money and get maximum returns from your marketing campaigns.

Imagine working hard for a whole week, burning the midnight oil everyday to meet a deadline. You’ve lost weight, lost sleep and look completely fatigued. Now imagine going to a spa at the end of the week, relaxing with a soothing massage to repair your wrecked nerves and replenishing yourself with a sumptuous feast? I’m sure you’re feeling rejuvenated just imagining it. Now what would’ve happened if you had continued to work like a horse without taking even an hour off to revitalize yourself? Your productivity will hit rock bottom and it will take a lot of costly effort to pull you up.

Sweep the Dirty Data Clean From Under the Rug


Dirty data is the most annoying fear for any marketer; no wonder that’s the reason why data cleansing, data cleaning, or data scrubbing is a solution that every marketer looks for. Data can get dirty due to various reasons like computation error, redundancy and wrong entry in the database or people changing their jobs/telephone numbers/postal address.

Dirty data leads to less-efficient work and more complications. The primary aim of data cleansing is to ensure that errors don’t creep into the system and the data is as useful and as meaningful as possible.

For any data-dependent business, data scrubbing is very important in order to ensure that data is not only accurate but also consistent throughout.
