Wrong Info

I recently have been finding that many people I call or email from ZoomInfo has been wrong numbers and emails that bounce. I was wondering if other people have had this same experience and if they have found a better solution.

ZoomInfo will not admit it, but their data is pure shit these days. Lots of threads discuss why and the experience of others (including myself).

Apollo.io and Seamless.ai are the leaders in the class right now. ZoomInfo is throwing money at their gaps, but not fixing their quality issue.

I’m not disagreeing, because I don’t know. But I found Apollo to be trash the last time I looked. Zoom has always been the gold standard for me, but everything with a grain of salt. It’s not perfect.

Been hearing good things about Seamless.ai, sat through a demo, and will try their trial out shortly. 

Zoom used to be amazing, and it's pricey as hell, so it's surprising to see this feedback.

I thoroughly enjoyed Seamless although their approach at selling is interesting and as an end user and not buyer, I felt like they gave 0 shits about me.

But overall, the data was muuuuuuch more accurate than what I get out of ZoomInfo.

What was your experience with their selling? it's been pretty typical for me so far.

Although I did refuse to give the SDR my email when he reached out on LI and told him to tell me what their product told him it was, and I'd confirm. They passed that first test, and the AE seemed to know his stuff and was personable.

It was really strange, the SDR put me in a webinar room essentially so it wasn't a 1:1 demo. I get it, I'm not a DM but I do have some pull at the company I'm at so bruising my ego a bit didn't do them any favors.

Definitely a bit odd and offputting. Gotta make a gal feel at least a LITTLE special, no?

Especially if she's charming...

Zoom info is especially bad for mid-market/SMB companies. Enterprise seems to have okay data, but anything MM or below is updated like once a year, I swear

Don't waste time on Zoominfo, it's wrong and outdated...
I've had  better success with Apollo, Lusha, Hunter.io ... (at least 40% of accuracy)

It's better in some areas than it is in others. Always verify the email via Google or the company website.

The only way I can focus is if I listen to acoustic music and/or music with no singing. My go to playlists are Coffeehouse, Acoustic Chill, Acoustic Concentration, and Front Porch.
