Direct Phone Numbers

Does anybody have a good recommendation on how to get direct phone numbers for prospects if they're not on a site like ZoomInfo? I've tried some softwares like Lusha in the past and they can be useful, but I've ended up with the cell phone number for their spouse before which wasn't very helpful.

Look on the company website or Google.

No marketing, mayo isn't an MQL
I think @GrizzleMcThornBody had a trick to search for PDF's on google that had a good success rate. (Might have forgotten who posted it)

Otherwise I'd recommend checking out lusha competitors like LeadIQ or Apollo

Your strategy is the only one that works, maybe try other tools @InQ5WeTrust suggested. We used Apollo and it had quite good success rate.

In my SDR role I had access to both ZoomInfo and LeadIQ (I didn't realize how lucky I had it at the time). When ZoomInfo didn't have a number, LeadIQ often had it, and vice versa.

And yeah, it's super awkward calling the spouse on accident. You gotta go for that referral, though! Haha

I have found that Zoom Info has had the most amount of direct lines so far. Also try looking on their LinkedIn and googling their name. Sometimes you just gotta stick to the HQ number and email.

Others have better ideas than I, but that must've been an awkward dial...

Call the gatekeeper. Say you had the persons number before but unfortunately your CRM system got an update, maybe they could help you out.

I’m using it once in awhile. Sneaky, maybe? But it works! 😄 ..

Seamless.ai has a free option that can give fairly accurate phone numbers

Key word Google Searches. Ironically, Google a prospects name with key words and you should be able to find it. E.g - 'X Mobile 'company' Y 'ABC' 

have a look at how Google can help amigo.

Hot take: if you don’t have their phone number you shouldn’t call them.

SalesIntel.io has a chrome extension which has free monthly credits. Works on LinkedIn/SalesNav/company website, etc. they do human verification so I’ve found the phone numbers to be more accurate than the other usual players

If ZoomInfo doesn't have it, I wouldn't think any of the other platforms do. I have used Zoom for 3 years now and I am pretty happy with the data....

Also search for a PDF org chart?
