In the realm of B2B sales, achieving pinpoint accuracy in targeting ideal customers is crucial yet notoriously difficult. Even with high-end databases like Zoominfo, Apollo, Seamless, and Lusha, sales teams often find themselves grappling with inaccuracies that can lead to wasted resources and ineffective outreach.
The Limitations of Mass Market Databases
Mass market databases are invaluable for their vast repositories of information, but they fall short in delivering 100% accurate lists. For example, when sourcing raw lists of FinTech SaaS companies, you may encounter irrelevant entries such as "Financial services for SaaS," "Financial SaaS growth," or "custom financial software development." Similarly, lists intended for SaaS companies might include "marketing agency for SaaS," "software development," or "SaaS growth," which do not meet the precise criteria.
These discrepancies can cause significant issues. Sending outbound messages to these misaligned prospects not only wastes time but also risks marking your outreach as spam, damaging your sender reputation and reducing engagement rates.
