Absolutely useless. If you know your ICP build it using Apollo, ZoomInfo and others. If you want to know their tech built it using Builtwith and then pull contact details using Apollo. Why will you pay someone $1500 to $2000 for a list? There is of course Sales Navigator which can do both.

Hmm got it but is it just coz of the money?

Not just money but relevance, quality, and general sanity factors. (IMO) Very high chances of emails bouncing, not being verified, worse, blacklisted. Sales navigator is nice. We've tried data scraping because we identified a list of websites where our ICP is most likely to be present. That's worked great for us.

Hmm got it but what if we verify and use it. The reason am asking is we are internally debating on 2 things - sales navigator v/s buying the list. I am for Sales Navigator coz had read somewhere that it's not recommended but am unable to give strong reasoning for this. Can someone help?

Hi @Ankita Tripathi - having tried both options, I would recommend you to opt for buying the list unless you don't get the data from any list building tools. There are high chances that the list you are buying might be built from the same tools that you can use directly : p

@Srikanth V ok so where can we buy from?

https://www.fundoodata.com/ - if you are looking for India market

Not just India. MEA+SEA+Europe

Ok. For above regions, try using seamless.ai, apollo.io free plan. Check if this works and then proceed. Was reached out by lot of vendors who were happy to sell data to target non-Indian regions. But I don't recollect the names or do I have access to those now as it was many years back

Thanks Srikanth.

@Ankita Tripathi for India, SEA and MEA, Zoominfo and other tools doesn't have good coverage. We ended up identify good vendors and got new contacts that we're new to our system. Happy to help if you need more info

@Ankita Tripathi We built prospectoo.com which covers a few of these use-cases.
