I was wrong…new tech stack evaluation.

I was telling all of you that Seamless is the best product (with the worst people) to switch to over ZoomInfo. I have been evaluating new tech this week, and here is my new rank:

Lusha>Seamless>Apollo.io>Intern>ZoomInfo

I am now considering Lusha as the best for my company's ICP and available TAM. Any fully paid customers have great advice on the long term user experience?

I noticed you didn't add Gong in there. Any reason for that?

Because Gong doesn’t belong in this category (data discovery). Why would you assume it should be included?

Their Gong Thong is much too tight and cutting off the blood flow to their brain.

Gotta ship them the adjustable band. What an oversight from their R&D team.

It's ok to size up, lots of Gong employees have asses as fat as their egos. No shame in it

If you need to size up you can pair it with the Seamless Suspenders

Is that supposed to be a joke? Gong is an amazing company that's really transforming how sales teams grow and learn.

Did they already give you the implant? It’s not too late to get out. Blink twice if you want help.

Well given that Brandon's attention is pulled towards his human trafficking operation (also an inferior operation compared to my inern trafficking one -- whatever this guy touches breaks), I can see why his product sucks.

Nice to see someone agree on Brandon. Had the unfortunate pleasure to interact with him and I would never do it again, let alone use his company. Info was good but hard to work with them at all.

We currently have zoominfo but its flaming hot garbage and their company profile accuracy is miserable in our vertical. How accurate has Lusha been for you so far? 

Wondering if its worth us switching

ZI keeps jacking around with their site, and it's not for the better. Frustrating.

Only did an initial search on the free trial. Hard to say if it’s accurate, yet. Will update!

Please do, in our industry its really hard to get good accurate company profiles so that would be hugely valuable. 

ZI will tell us an account that we know does $15M in ARR is doing <$500k. So helpful. 

We have resorted to hiring someone in india to just scrape sources we know are legit for our space but its not a scalable solution.

I am curious about better options to ZI, so appreciate the update and will be interested in your ultimate thoughts on Lusha.

Curious as well because ZI is pretty much worthless for my vertical.

Lusha was great for EU/non-US contact data. otherwise ZI was best, but not even close to being as accurate as ZI reps claim.

Lusha is a very solid platform depending on your business as you have alluded to. Discoverorg prior to being acquired by zoom was really awesome

We've been using Seamless only for about a week and a half and I find it better than using ZI in the past and the 1000 credits a day is nice vs lushas rate at the same pricepoint

I'm not sure how relevant this to your current search, but we use tryprospect for prospecting. Data is middle of the road. Not a lot of direct dials but has a decent email search/verifier and can create sf leads straight from salesnav. Will also show you which leads/contacts/accounts are already in SF and link to them.

Anything classified middle of the road is not going to make the list, but I appreciate your suggestion!

That's fair. I like it because it removed a lot of admin work and my current industry is so new to cold calls that getting direct dials is not a need, gatekeepers usually put us through. In past roles with tougher markets this would not have been good enough.

I've never heard of lusha before. Checking it out now.

I might be beaten up for this, but Seamless is pure and utter garbage. I really wish ZoomInfo had their UI shit together. Lusha is not good for Americas. Apollo is expensive. 
LSN is King !
