Let's be honest, Leadlister probably isn't for you if…
We could tell you our tool is perfect for everyone, but that wouldn't be true. Our goal is to be the absolute best at a specific kind of lead generation, and that means being upfront about what we don't do.
So, in the spirit of saving everyone time and money, here's our honest guide to when you should probably use another service.
…you need a firehose of data for mass outreach.
If your sales strategy is a pure numbers game that requires a massive list of thousands of contacts for a large-scale, automated email sequence, we're not the right tool for the job. That approach is all about quantity and scale, and there are some great companies built specifically for that.
Our advice
You should check out services like Apollo.io, ZoomInfo, Lusha, or Cognism. They are essentially giant data farms designed to provide data at a massive scale for teams that believe in the "spray and pray" model. They do it well.
We're different. We are the sniper rifle to their firehose. We help you find the 50 perfect prospects that are worth apersonalized email, not the 5,000 random contacts for a generic blast.
…you sell products or services directly to consumers (B2C).
This one is simple. Our entire world revolves around business data. We are experts at mapping the professional landscape to find you a specific company, a person with a specific job title, and their business contact details.
Our advice
If you're selling products like clothing, cars, or online courses to the general public, you'll get much better results using the powerful ad-targeting tools on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok, or by building audiences in e-commerce tools like Klaviyo or Shopify. They are built to understand consumer behavior, which is a completely different world from ours.
…your current sales pipeline is already on fire.
Seriously, if your team is already drowning in leads they don't have time to follow up with, the last thing you need is more leads. Adding fresh prospects to a clogged pipeline is like pouring water into a glass that's already full. It just makes a bigger mess and nothing gets the attention it deserves.
Our advice
Before you spend a single dollar with us, you will get a far better return on your investment by cleaning up your CRM or implementing a sales engagement platform like Outreach or Salesloft to better manage the opportunities you already have.
Once you have a smooth process for handling leads, come back to us. We'll be here, ready to fill your newly efficient pipeline with high-quality prospects you actually have time for.
…you're looking for local, service-based businesses like a plumber.
Our database is built on the digital footprint of the professional world. That means we're fantastic at finding people and companies that also have a LinkedIn profile or online presence. Like industrial manufacturers, software companies, agencies, inventors, financial institutions, governmental departments, food producers, online shops, and the professionals who work there because they have a (strong) digital presence.
Our advice
If you need to find a local plumber, a great neighborhood bakery, or a wedding photographer, you are much better off using Google Maps, Yelp, Perplexity, or local business directories. Honestly, they are built for that specific purpose and will give you better results. We'll be here when you need to find that software developer in Berlin or that producer of a specific membrane you need.
