Quality of the data, I really like the filters on the search page so you just have to enter the parameters on which you are searching the data. It can be the employee title, level, geography, industry, specific technologies used, in case of companies, employee size and revenue. The search page have both options for People search and Company search. All you need is to enter your preference and leave the rest on the platform. I have been mining data on Lead411 since October 2020 and have mined a database of around 1200 contacts. It gives you email addresses, head quarter phone numbers and cell phone numbers too. 95% of the data is accurate which is really good when it comes to such data.

There are not may things to dislike but I would like to mention a few. I think copy paste option should be available on the main list rather than opening one by one or downloading and then fetching data since it's a time taking task. One of the downsides of the platform is that it doesn't allow you to edit the existing saved search, you might have to start from the beginning and perform a new search. Also, at times the website is slow or whenever there is a huge list of leads or accounts the websites slows down and the scrolling down gets tougher. I think that can be improvised or an alternate could be found. Overall, I think the user interface can be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The ability to pull good data, confirm current data, and always have something for us to target. They also have a helpful support/AM team that directs me as needed. My team is using the Lead four one one or Lead 411 Google Chrome Extension as well and it is helpful for them as they prospect new companies and gather information on them. It is a great research tool. It will give a brief overview of the company and great info on them, then it allows you to search more specifically for.. let's say the president! Great stuff. Our other staff member is using Lead411 to pull large lists and he has the ability to put them into salesforce pretty easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I think that with any data collection tool you see this, but we still have to cleanse our data before doing anything with it to check for accuracy. I think there is definitely a learning curve when it comes to getting used to using Lead 411, especially with using its internal tools and its lead 411 chrome extension. The extension can sometimes get in the way which is kind of annoying,but never ever a deal breaker. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Data in my industry is King and I've seen providers make claim to have the best data (accurate data, clean email addresses, 90 day refreshes, etc.). After purchasing many lists to support our sales and marketing efforts, committed to annual data subscriptions, I've become a skeptic over the years. Well, Lead411 proved me wrong.
Here's our experience so far:
1.) Onboarding: I've been a customer now for a few years and from my first interaction with Tom Blue, Lead411's, Founder and CEO, my experience has been nothing but exceptional. The on-boarding team was first class, Jeff Stevenson and Lori Fisher are consummate professionals who you can get you up and running in an hour.
2.) Data Quality: I've enjoyed launching more tactical campaigns by zeroing on specific technology installs (for example, I recently launched a webinar campaign targeting a specific hardware install and got over 100 webinar registrations in the first two days of the email drop!)
3.) Available Data: Lead 411 is the first company that I've worked with that gives you unlimited access to data and email addresses. What I'm most impressed with is the quality of email addresses. Throughout my career, I've not enjoyed average bounce rates of 25+% and open rates of less than 5%. With Lead411's "verified emails" we've been enjoying 30+% open rates and bounce rates that are less than 5%.
4.) New Ways to Access Data: Outside of traditional web-based applications to build/ download lists, I can use Google Chrome extensions to pull data on contacts from websites or prospect's LinkedIn pages. This data can be easily exported to a variety of formats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not having the ability to pull contact data by responsibility. In our line of work, it helps to access data where you focus on people who are responsible for data storage or data backup. Not having this feature has us digging a little bit to find the right person. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The browser integration with Linkedin is simple - but buggy at times Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I had a lot of trouble finding the contact data I needed for the people I was looking for - I am not even talking about direct phone numbers, even emails are missing - the main contact details is the HQ number of each company - that is definitely not helpful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Lead411's database size and data quality were both excellent in our opinion. Their flexible pricing plans met our requirements, and their support is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
