How to build an HR contacts database of big companies?

Finding HR contacts database is something that we do tt some point in our career and we all have a need when we want to contact HRs from big companies. We struggle to get to the right HR and often get frustrated. Finding HR contacts database is a big challenge, especially if you are low on budget.

Therefore, I wanted to solve this problem for you, once and for all.

From now onwards, there will not be any day when you can’t find a method to reach out to the HR aka Human resource department of any company.

In addition, this is going to be actionable, step by step and a long guide for finding HR contacts from any size of the company.

In fact, you can apply the same techniques to find other decision-makers like Marketing heads, Founders, CEO’s, Finance heads of various organisations.

All right, let’s begin.

HR contacts database through Google Search

This is the first method and the most basic and yes it’s completely free. You only have to invest time i.e by doing it manually.

Simply go to Google and type the following keywords in the search bar:

site:linkedin.com/in intitle:HR head intext:India

By using the above query you have restricted your search to Linkedin only. Since the results that will show up in Google search will be public information, so its completely safe to use this public data.

HR head Google Search Results

You can change the above query and replace the HR head with keywords like:

  • HR manager
  • HR partner
  • Human resource director
  • Chief People officer
  • HR president
  • VP HR

Further, you can replace “India” with a city like New Delhi or the United States or New York.

This will restrict your search to only that specific city or location.

Compiling results into an excel sheet

Open up an excel sheet offline or on Google drive and start saving the results in an excel sheet.

HR contacts database - EasyLeadz

Please note the following information is important:

  • First Name
  • Last Name
  • Domain i.e on which the email id is verified for that person

Rest all information is up to you if you want to store, the more the information, the better you can customise your cold email templates and email subject lines.

If you do not know how to find the domain, then simply search for the website of the company and once you have the website then most of the times the domain is the part of the website by removing www or https.

Example: Website is https://uber.com/ and domain is uber.com

You can also find domain via the contact us page of the companies. Companies usually write their contact email like info@uber.com or contact@uber.com so the part after @ is the domain.

Finding email addresses

For this step, you will have to form patterns of emails by using first name, last name and domain and verify each pattern to check if the email is valid or not.

You can make as many patterns as possible, but the below are the most frequent ones.

  1. firstname@domain – Example – Vishpala@uber.com
  2. lastname@domain – Example – Reddy@uber.com
  3. firstname(dot)lastname@domain – Example – vishpala.reddy@uber.com
  4. firstname_lastname@domain – Example – vishpala_reddy@uber.com
  5. firstname-lastname@domain – Example – vishpala-reddy@uber.com
  6. firstnamelastname@domain – Example – vishpalareddy@uber.com
  7. firstname[first_character]lastname@domain – Example – vreddy@uber.com
  8. lastname[first_character]firstname@domain – Example – rvishpala@uber.com
  9. lastname_firstname@domain – Example – reddy_vishpala@uber.com
  10. lastnamefirstname@domain – Example – reddyvishpala@uber.com
  11. lastname(dot)firstname@domain – Example – reddy.vishpala@uber.com

There are many other patterns that you can add to make sure you cover as many as you can.

Now, once you have these patterns, the next step is to check which pattern is valid i.e which email of the HR contact is valid.

To do that you have to use email verification tools, some of them are:

  • Mailboxlayer
  • Neverbounce

Let’s take an example of Neverbounce and check the patterns one by one and see which one is valid.

There are 3 kinds of results if you verify any email.

  • Catch all or Accept All- Meaning you cant verify if the email is valid or invalid. These domains accept all emails, so its pure guesstimate and your own call if you still want to send email to this person. For these domains, all patterns are the same and will give same result code.
  • Valid – This email is valid.
  • Invalid – This email is invalid.
Neverbounce accept all test
Valid email example

So the above email id i.t nitin@easyleadz.com is valid email id.

Invalid email example

The above email id i.e nitin.bajaj@easyleadz.com is invalid.

You will have to repeat this process for all people in your sheet and for all their patterns.

If the email is catchall then you can simply skip all their patterns, if the email is valid then you can skip the rest of the patterns and if the email is invalid then you can keep going until you find the valid email pattern.

If you have patterns in one CSV file then you can upload it in bulk to Neverbounce instead of manually verifying each pattern.

Using this method you can build your HR Contacts Database.

Using Linkedin search to build the HR database

The next method involves searching contacts directly on Linkedin and building the targeting list.

The benefit of this method over the Google search is that it can help you narrow down your search further by location, company and many other parameters.

If you have a premium Linkedin Sales Navigator account then you can further customise your list beyond just location and job titles and build HR contacts database or perhaps any other database as per your ideal customer profile targeting.

The next step remains the same which is building email patterns and verification using email verification tools.

Using Email finder tools to build HR list

Both of the above steps involve manual efforts in building your B2B list, building email patterns and then verification of emails. It’s tedious and frustrating and consumes a lot of resources.

So there is a better way and that way is to use email finder tools.

There are plenty of free email finder tools that you can use, some of them are:

  • EasyLeadz email finder tool
  • Clearbit
  • Hunter(io)
  • Snov(io)

All of the above tools come with a free and limited plan.

The search works by either company name or domain of the company. So let’s say you want to find email id of HR of Microsoft, then you can simply go to these tools and search for Microsoft or microsoft.com and it will show you results.

Layouts of each of these tools are different and the method of showing results will be different, so I am going to show you an example of how EasyLeadz email finder tool works.

HR contacts database using EasyLeadz email finder tool

So using these tools you will not have to worry about building patterns and verifying them. All of the data is instantly available.

The disadvantage is that you may not find all of the data in these tools. Example a specific person that you wish to find an email for.

In that case, these tools may not be helpful but other than that you will have most of the companies and emails covered.

HR contacts database through Job Portals

Another option is to check out Job Portals. One such Job Portal is Naukri.com. You can simply search for jobs on Naukri and then go to the company profile.

Go to company profile and scroll down and there will you find the HR contact details.

After you go to the company page, click on that profile and it will open up a new company page.

You will see “View Contact Details” option, click on it and it will expand and show you the HR contacts.

A lot of times it will not show any contacts, it will just ask you to submit your email and your query, in those cases, you will not be able to find any HR contacts directly.

So while this is helpful, it may be frustrating sometimes. But you can try if you have time and resources and low on budget.

HR contacts database through B2B database providers

All of the above methods are free but nothing is free. While it saves money it costs you your TIME which sometimes and in fact, most of the times is more valuable than money.

So the last option is to get high quality and highly customised HR contact database as per your targeting criterion.

The disadvantage of this method is that it will cost you money.

Advantages are manifolds:

  • It will be highly customised, more than just location and job roles. You can customise your targeting by the following parameters:
    • The industry of the companies
    • Size of the companies by its number of employees
    • Job roles like HR head, HR manager, CEO, CFO etc
    • A location like a city or a country
    • Niche companies like Fintech companies, E-commerce companies, SAAS companies
    • Companies based on the technology they use like if they use Shopify or Intercom
    • Recently funded companies
  • You save all the time which you can spend on more relevant work.
  • You get a better quality and accuracy, usually 90-95% on email deliverability
  • The money you spend is actually less than the equivalent of resources and time you would have otherwise spent on manual efforts. We have done the calculations and we found it 5 times cheaper to procure B2B data rather than doing it yourself.
  • The speed at which data can be processed versus doing it manually by yourself.
  • More data points than just email id, name and location. You can get the following data points:
    • Name of the person
    • Location
    • Job role
    • Linkedin profile URL
    • Verified work email
    • Direct contact number
    • Name of the company
    • Headquarter
    • Social profile links
    • Website
    • Funding information
    • Size of the company i.e number of employees
    • Industry tags
    • Other tags like an offline store, SAAS, E-commerce, Product, Service
    • The technology stack of the company

All this is almost impossible to find manually unless you have a large pool of resources who are trained to do this.

In Short, whichever method you use to build the HR databases, the next step is to write highly personalised cold emails and cold email subject lines so that it resonates with the audience.

Moreover, the higher your emails are personalised, the better your response rates will be.

I will recommend you to look at this cold email guide which will help you write better cold emails, subject lines and also use email automation tools to automate your follow-ups so that you get better ROI on your campaigns.

How you can boost B2B sales

[Guest Post by Kinga Odziemek -Founder Brainybees]

boost b2b sales
Source: Pablo

Working in B2B sales nowadays is a great challenge. Not only that prospects are simply tired of being sold to consistently, but stiff competition does not make this job any easier. In the constantly changing industry (every industry), what worked a few years ago can be expired now. That is why you need to update your b2b sales strategy.

On the other hand, new technologies deliver solutions that help sales teams to improve their actions. Do not hesitate to try new ideas and test them on your organization. Take advantage of automation and artificial intelligence to facilitate workflow and make it more efficient.

Once you have a great product or service it is time for crafting an effective sales strategy. One of the most important things to understand before that is to realize that sales strategy not only influences your company’s return on investment (ROI) but sales strategy is actually everything your company does to sell products or services.

That is why below you can find tips on boosting b2b sales, that does not concern only the sales team. Read on!

Understanding the sales funnel

It is a total must-have. Analyze your strategy and check if it fits your sales funnel. Your actions should be adjusted to customers’ needs at a particular time.

As a reminder, sales funnel usually includes the following stages:

  • Awareness
  • Interest
  • Decision
  • Action

Content Marketing

Use content marketing to increase awareness of the industry and your brand. A content plan should be strongly correlated with your sales funnel. That way you not only deliver suitable content to the right customers but also attract the right prospects. Create helpful articles and videos (do not be pushy) and use the language of benefits while talking about your products or services.

Take a holistic approach. Today, a business has to focus not only on closing the deal but on the whole customer journey. Identify touchpoints between your brand and customers. The next step is to improve the customer experience during every interaction.

The customer journey does not end on finalizing the transaction. Equally important is the post-purchase phase. Remember to thank your customers for choosing your brand, as well as provide them with valuable content and stay helpful in case of unexpected issues with your products. Use a customer relationship management (CRM) system, like Livespace or Hubspot, that will enable you to streamline the b2b sales process and even forecast future sales. A CRM helps gather information about clients so that you can make data-driven decisions.

Optimize your website

A web page is a crucial aspect of sales nowadays. It is usually the source of information about the company and what it has to offer. Not only that it is supposed to be discoverable via the search engine page results (for the right keywords), but also it should include valuable content and be useful. That way your potential clients can find your website easily and get the information they are looking for.

Replay sessions of your website’s visitors and analyze them with tools like LiveSession or Hotjar. Find pain-points and unintuitive elements. That way you can improve the user experience and get more leads to drive sales.

Social media

Social selling can be an effective method of building relationships with customers. On LinkedIn, your sales reps can reach the right prospects directly and work on their personal branding as well. But social networks have more to offer. Social media marketing can be successfully used for promoting valuable content. Focus on the interaction with followers – schedule your posts in advance via Kontentino or Buffer to have more time for daily moderation and engaging discussion.

Use retargeting to reach prospects in the right stage of the sales funnel. With tools like  RocketLink you can add pixels to any links you share. That way you can retarget your ads to people who have already clicked your link. Remember to always share content relevant to your audience.

Do not cross-out phone calls

Cold calling seems like a time-consuming and over expired sales method. Nevertheless, talking over the phone is a more personal and emotional form of contact. It can be effective if you contact the right prospects. Services like Easyleadz can help you build the contact list of the right decision-makers as per your ideal customer profile. Further, help yourself with tools that can make calls more efficient. Tools like CloudTalk or Aircall enable post-calling automation and calls recording. You can analyze calls that result in closing deals and improve the whole process.

Integrate your cloud phone system with other tools, for example, a CRM system. That way you will have all client’s information gathered before at your fingertips and you can provide your prospects with a personalized offer.

Appreciate face-to-face meetings

Even though we have a lot of other forms of contact with customers, there is nothing more personal and effective as a meeting. Take your time to close the deal with the most important clients. When your prospects are located in different time zones online meetings can be as effective instead of just audio calls. Tools like Harmonizely and Zoom help you with scheduling meetings without having to exchange tons of emails. 

Improve Internal communication

While external communication is important, do not forget about the role of cooperation inside your company. If you wish to boost sales efficiency you need to think about the unhampered flow of information. As mentioned several times before, sales do not only depend on sales representatives. For better communication and understanding between sales, customer support, and marketing departments you can use workflow tools such as Stackfield and Slack

Create a dedicated channel where everyone can contribute ideas for sales improvement. For example, a customer support team can notify you what are the most common issues so that you can work on them.

Once you are familiar with the tips mentioned above you are set and ready to boost your sales! 

Implementation of tools takes some time, as well as getting used to them by a team. Nevertheless, it is worth to try some new methods to improve processes for a long-term profit. 
Do not forget, that every organization is different and has specific needs. Not every sales technique will work well for every company. You need to test different approaches and optimize your performance to get the most of your sales team. Good luck!

25 Cold email subject lines we used and got 70% open rates

email subject lines

“Cold email subject line examples that boost open rates”, “Examples of cold email subject lines you should steal right away” these are the possible titles I could have chosen for this post.

In the mind of the readers, headlines/ titles subtly shift the perception of the text that follows and Influences how much they recall about it afterward.


Subject lines play the same role when you want your prospects to read your cold emails and follow-ups because coming from a rather unknown source subject line decides 2 things simultaneously –

1. Whether the email gets opened or not.

2. Sets the expectation in the mind of the reader what is to follow.

Staying on course with the title of this post, here are 25 email subject lines we used and why we used them- 

One common theme that you will find in most of these subject lines is the personalization we have done using the first name or company name of the prospect.

email subject line

Well, who does not respond when you call them by their name! 

Across campaigns, these subject lines have gotten us an average open rate of 70% 


1. @firstName, Just curious to ask

This is the subject line we use in the first email of the sequence. Instead of including the question around their pain point/need/challenge itself we intend to come across as curious creatures.


2. @firstName, Quick question

Another subject line for the first email. No BS approach, short and crisp, quickly tells the reader there is a question that follows once they open. Leaves them a bit curious to know what do we want to ask them.  


3. @firstname, Just curious to share and ask

4. List of recently funded startups for sales targeting

We use this subject line when we want to start off by sharing helpful content with the prospect and in the process ask them a question. 


5. @firstName, Need more productivity in Sales?

6. Can we help @companyName with B2B leads?

Instead of asking the question in the message these subject lines increase personalization by including their need/challenge/pain point as a question.  


7. @firstName, We are connected on Linkedin

8. @firstName, Thanks for accepting my LinkedIn request

These subject lines leverage familiarity around being socially connected. In case your request is not accepted yet, they might search you on LinkedIn, get to know a bit more, accept your request and check the email. 

You can always mention that the request is hitch-hiking its way across the web.


9. Quick – Can we talk?

10. @firstName, Can we talk?

We use these subject lines in the second or third follow up. Since they have already received communication from our side. Subject lines go straight to the point that we want to talk with them, making the decision to open or not open the email easy.


11. @companyName <> EasyLeadz

The shortest and crispiest subject line catches the attention of the prospect by mentioning their company’s name. Mentioning your company’s name just makes them wonder what you have in store for them.


12. @firstName, You checked my website.

All of us visit different websites every day, this subject line takes advantage of the event and starts as a warm introduction.


13. Looking for a sales contact in @companyName

14. @firstName, Can you point me in the right direction?

We use them as follow up email subject lines, but can also be used as first email subject lines. Intended to nudge the prospect towards connecting with the right person in their team, useful in cases where you are not sure if the intended recipient is the right decision-maker.  


15. @firstName, @companyName is hiring for corporate sales.

Used when we target prospects at companies who are hiring for sales roles. Uses the event of new job hiring to pique the reader’s interest.


16. @firstName, most boring e-mail you are going to read today.

This is a whacky one we tried to stand out and get attention.


17. @firstName, your colleague asked me to contact you.

References work most of the time and when the reference comes from your colleague it gets even more attention.


18. @firstName, looks like you have sufficient B2B leads

Goes as the subject line in one of the follow-ups, instead of asking need more leads? tries to generate interest by making the reader whether they actually have sufficient leads. Everyone wants more!


19. Confirming next week’s meeting

When received, reads as if only meeting confirmation is pending. No one wants to confirm a meeting without knowing the agenda (in the mail).


20. Did I lose you?

21. @firstName, What went wrong?

22. Am I assuming correctly?

Used in follow up emails, these subject lines try to bring back prospects attention to your message.


23. @firstName, If I can be honest

Everyone like honesty and wants to read what an honest person has to say.


24. Before I say Goodbye

25. Goodbye from EasyLeadz

These are subject lines are used for the break up emails or the last ones. If your prospect has not taken notice yet, a good break up email is the perfect opportunity. No one likes breaking up! 


If you have come this far then I have to assume I chose the right title for this post.

Here is what to do next

1. Tell us what is the best subject line you have used or came across.

How to write better follow up emails using the AIDA framework

AIDA is a widely used term in Marketing circles. You can use it as effectively in your follow up emails like how it is used in building marketing funnels. Let’s do a little recap of what AIDA stands for.

AIDA is used in advertising and marketing for taking buyers through 4 stages before they ultimately make a purchase – 

aida in follow up emails

1. Awareness/Attention – This step involves making buyers aware of your product, service or brand based on the understanding of their pains, challenges, and interests. 

2. Interest – Second stage involves generating interest from the buyers. This step involves holding their attention by talking to them about their pain points or making their pain points apparent and how it is having an adverse impact on their business.

3. Desire – This is the stage where you generate a desire to purchase your product. You talk about the benefits of using your product through features, social proof, case studies, etc.

4. Action – Action stage involves creating the urgency to buy or making the transition to take an action such as booking a call, making a purchase or filling a form seamless and easy. 

How does the AIDA model apply to write follow up emails

First of all, if you are sending cold emails and not following up, you are only doing 10% of the job required to generate leads through outbound email campaigns.

Secondly, if you are following up only once or twice, you are still leaving money on the table.

Steli Efti, Founder at Close.io advises on following up once every month after first 4 followups in a week until you get a response.

close.com
Courtest – Close

I hope now that we are on the same page that follow up emails move the needle in your favor, let us dive deeper into how we can apply the AIDA framework in writing follow-up email copies.

Generally, there is a tendency to either 

  • Provide too much information in the first email itself, create information overload and leave the prospect confused.
  • Or there are followups where only subject lines vary but the underlying message is the same without adding any value on top of the previous communication.

A subtle approach would be to take your prospect through the 4 stages with each follow-up written specifically to move the prospect to the next stage.

Depending on how many follow-ups you want to schedule you can keep each stage as much long or short.

To co-relate with advertising think How many ads of a particular type (stage) would you like to place for an individual buyer across different channels.

1. Cold Email/First E-mail – Attention Phase

The first email in the sequence is about getting attention and creating awareness by introducing your product/service. Go with the assumption that your prospect would be hearing about your product/service for the first time and it’s the start of a possible long-term relationship.

Think like how you don’t ask someone out on a date the first time you meet, you introduce yourself, share a few interesting bits without telling your whole life story. 

At the same time, leaving them curious enough to know more.  

Talk about what your product is and how it can benefit, with one of the following call to action- 

  • Nudging reader to visit your website  
  • Watch a demo video
  • Sharing a link to a personalized landing page 
  • You can even ask a simple question to which they can reply quickly without putting too much thought.
first follow up email - attention phase

2. First Follow up – Interest phase 

Continue from where you left off and build a connect, for e.g. you can start by asking whether they had a chance to look at the information you shared in the previous email.

Pique their interest by 

  • Sharing an article or blog that talks about solving their pain points or
  • Highlight their pain points and how your product/service can help

The goal is to generate trust by talking about their pain points and that you are reaching out with a solution that alleviates the pain.

At this stage, you can add social proof by giving reference to a competitor who faced similar pain point or by mentioning the names of companies which are similar in terms of stage of business.

One big mistake people often make is giving the wrong name as a reference, for e.g. mentioning the name of an enterprise company while reaching out to a mid-size company.

While enterprise names are great to hear but an insight into how you helped a mid-size company which faced similar challenges would be much more valuable. 

Keep the call to action as a link to a blog or help article that explains about tackling specific pain points.

second follow up email - interest phase

3. Second Follow up – Desire Phase

Keep building on the previous follow-ups, this time shifting attention to an industry-specific use case with a domain-based case study or white paper, that appeals directly.

Quantify the benefits so the reader feels the desire to reply back and know more details.

Think about how you made the other person feel as if you have known them forever and they are more than happy to go out on a first date.

Keep call to action either as a link to the specific case study or booking your calendar for a call/demo.

third follow up email - desire phase

4. Third Follow up email – Action Phase

Ideally, desire should lead to an action in itself, this followup should take care in case it does not happen and your prospect needs a bit more push. 

Ask about feedback on all the information you have shared previously and make it more of a goodbye prompting them to take action with a reply if they have not responded previously.

Capitalize by adding a bit of humor to improve your chances.

fourth follow up email - action phase

Capitalize by adding a bit of humor to improve your chances.

fourth follow up email part 2 - action phase

Although, we have demonstrated the framework by using one follow up email in each stage, however, you can use multiple follow-ups in each stage to nurture your prospect towards a reply.

Write the content of follow-up emails keeping in mind the stage you are writing them for.

Top 5 sales triggers you can track easily and sell more.

sales triggers

Whether you are looking for a new deal or figuring out how to move existing deals forward quickly, tracking sales triggers adds momentum to your efforts.

What are sales triggers?

Sales triggers are events that signal an opportunity for cross-selling, upselling or new customer acquisition. 

In sales, timing is everything, as per Craig Elias, author of Shift Selling, your odds of closing a sale improve by 74% if you reach out to the decision-makers at the right time

Tracking sales triggers provide sales reps with unique business context to initiate highly personalized conversations at the right time. 

Sales triggers help you uncover actionable insights both at the account and prospect level.

Getting the information about an event is only half the job done as your competitors might also be receiving similar information. How you use the insights to make a conversation relevant to your prospect gives you the real edge. 

Here are 5 sales triggers you can track easily. We will also cover how to track and effectively use them.

1. New Funding round or Additional Funding.

2. Geographical Expansion/New Market Entry.

3. New Product/Service launch.

4. New Hirings.

5. Management changes


1. New Funding or Additional Funding round  

Any company raising funds is an indication of an increased budget for spending across functions. Companies’ focus areas of investing fresh money may vary depending on the stage at which they have raised new or additional funding.

An early-stage company might plan to spend more on product and services that help accelerate growth from a marketing and sales perspective, whereas, a late-stage company may look to expand to a new market or geography or build a new product line.

Based on the stage identify which companies can benefit most out of your product/services. 

How to track – 

Globally on an average 1000-1200 companies raise new rounds of funding and there are multiple sources you can use to stay fully updated – 

1. Using Google Alerts, you can set daily funding alerts globally or any specific geography.

funding alert

2. Use Easyleadz to access recently funded startups and contacts, list is updated on a regular basis and download needs a small share and love from you.

recently funded startups

3. You can use Crunchbase Pro to set alerts for receiving regular updates about funding.

funding

How to personalize messaging

Your prospects would be getting Congratulatory messages left, right and center. Congratulate them but go beyond just congratulating and immediately making your ask. 

Use insights from funding information to share how exactly they stand to benefit from your product/services at this point in time. Create urgency without being pushy.

For e.g.

It takes persistence to build a thriving and growing business, on top of it getting the validation from the investment community is commendable. I wanted to congratulate you for the recent funding round.

At this phase of the growth, businesses start adopting processes to build a scalable customer services team, with it comes to the need for implementing a scalable customer service software.

We at X  helped companies like {similar customers to the one you are approaching} at the same stage {benefits}.


2. Geographical Expansion/New Market Entry

An existing customer of yours might be having plans to start pitching their product to a new market or a foreign entity may be planning to move into the geography you already serve.

In such events budgets are already lined up for expansion and the time is right to make a move and engage the decision-makers early. 

This is also the time when companies start making new hires. 

How to track –

1. Business expansion news via Google Alerts

2. LinkedIn sends Daily Rundown every morning and covers majors Industry and Company events. Follow target company pages and any company related mentions or news will appear in your feed.

news alerts

3. Twitter is another free source where companies send out such announce via their official handles or you can use Twitter’s advanced search functionality to search for specific keywords.

twitter search

How to personalize messaging

Expansion to any geography or market brings its own set of challenges like identifying new vendors, hiring locally, looking for new office space, etc. 

Identify the pain points your product/service stands best to address. Be specific with how you have helped other companies post-expansion. 

If you have helped a competitor and it has been a success even better.

For e.g.

I came across the news of your companies plans of expanding to X {location/geography/market} and having an immediate conversation would be valuable.

We at {company name} have helped companies like A, B, and C in building a talented team of software developers by connecting them with top-notch talent in X {location}


3. New Product/Service Launch

Whenever new product or services are launched or about to be launched, there are budgets and resources already allocated. 

For e.g. An e-commerce company moving to an omnichannel retail strategy by opening up a line of stores.

Generally, there are two types of opportunities that open up – 

  • When there is an announcement of an upcoming launch.
  • When a company has recently launched.

Depending, in which scenario your product/service could benefit you can track either or both.

How to track

1. Use Twitter to get information about upcoming and recent launches using keywords like “recently launched” and “launching soon”.

2. Google alerts

3. Follow company pages on LinkedIn for updates.

How to personalize messaging

Product/service launches present a short window of opportunity. It’s important to do your homework before reaching out to your prospects as to how exactly your product/service can make the launch successful.

For e.g.

With the launch of your new upcoming stores across 5 major cities, I thought to drop by and ask if we can connect and discuss, how we can help furnish your stores.

We at {company name} have helped companies like A, B, and C during their pre-launch phase of expanding their stores across the country.


4. New Hirings

Information about hiring patterns of a company can uncover a lot of insights which would otherwise be hard to find. All you need to do is access job boards regularly mostly free of cost.

Tracking hiring can help you identify – 

  • Fast-growing companies. If any company in small-mid size range has a lot of job openings across different functions that is your cue.
  • Technologies used by companies. Not all technologies used by a company can be uncovered from the outside, either you ask someone or look at which roles they are hiring for and indirectly identify. For e.g., If a company is hiring for Salesforce admin (given the company is not a hiring agency or technology services provider) they ought to be using Salesforce.
  • Product/Services they may need. Depending on the role a company is hiring for and growth in a particular function will help you identify if there could be an arising need for the product/service you are selling. 

We at Easyleadz have used New job hiring for prospecting and sending cold emails to companies hiring for B2B sales, Inside Sales and similar roles. Using this approach our response rates increased by 30-40% across all our campaigns as compared to targeting companies who are not currently hiring.

job hiring campaign

For one of the campaigns, we targeted startups hiring for Inside sales roles via Angel.co and got a 28% response rate primarily because we reached out at the right time while they are expanding their sales team and trying to drive more revenue.

How to Track – 

1. Set up customized job-alerts via Angel List For e.g., If you help companies in providing talent for Data analytics, set up job alerts for the hiring of Data analytics, Big data analytics, data science, and other similar roles.

angel hiring alert

2. Use LinkedIn Job search to track the number of open vacancies for particular accounts you are looking to target and more filters to create a targeted search.

linkedin job search

How to personalize messaging

You can use new hiring as a conversation starter, it also shows your prospect you are making efforts to know more about their company than just being generic.

For e.g.

My army of robots told me that you are hiring for Inside sales at @companyname. 

I thought of dropping a quick note about how we can help your expanding sales team by providing contact details of right decision makers for lead generation campaigns.


5. Management Changes

Whenever senior management changes take places, it leads to changes in how decision making is done at any organization. Creating an immediate impact at a new job is a top priority on every new hire’s agenda and more so at the C-level. 

If you can make a new VP make a positive impact at the start of their stint through your product/service, you not only have a loyal customer but also an advocate.

Track these changes – 

  • When a new senior-level management shift happens at your existing customer.
  • Senior-level management shift happens at an account you had been targeting. 
  • A senior-level manager at an existing customer moves to a C-level position at a new firm.
  • Promotions, a bit underused but you can use it to great effect with someone in your existing network or when you come to know of a new prospect moves from managerial to executive level.

Initially build a relationship and start pitching about your product/services down a few months into their tenure. Don’t pitch just when they have joined/moved as initially mostly it is about settling down and getting familiar with the new workplace. 

Decisions worth making generally start to take priority 2-3 months down the line. It is the most opportune time to close the sale.

How to Track – 

1. Set up Job alerts for senior-level executive positions relevant to you via Linkedin or Angel List

2. Use sales navigator to track job changes at positions you want to track along with other targeting criteria applicable. Linkedin also gives you a notification when someone in your network gets promoted or starts a new 

linkedin navigator

How to personalize messaging

Don’t just congratulate your prospect, everyone would be doing that instead take this opportunity to show your prospect how you can help them make an impact in their new role.

Keeping the conversation only to a congratulatory note would be the waste of an opportunity. 

For e.g.

I wanted to congratulate for assuming the responsibility of the VP of sales at @companyname. 

Hope you are settling down well in your new role and thought of sharing a few articles which might be helpful for getting started in your new role.

How to select the right B2B contact data provider in 6 steps

b2b contact data provider

Don’t like hopping around and renegotiating with different B2B contact data provider every now and then? Read on, this post is for you.

B2B contact data is the backbone of any outreach campaign be it cold emails, cold calls or social. Although accurate and targeted data helps in generating qualified leads, building accurate contacts lists is a time-consuming process. 

As per 2018 Salesforce State of Sales report, 50% of sales reps feel they spend way too much time finding the right contact information.

Hence, the right B2B contact data provider can take on the hard work leaving your team free to do the most productive task, i.e. reaching out to prospects and closing deals.

On the outside, all contact data providers may look equal but some may be more equal than others for your specific use case. They should be able to work with you as business partners rather than mere providers of contact information.

Here are the 6 steps you can follow to select the right b2b contact data provider for your company.

Step 1 – Define your lead generation process 

First, you need to work with all your internal stakeholders – outbound sales reps, inside sales team, and marketing team to identify how your lead generation process will be set up. 

Consider these key points in your discussion

  • Work out a well defined Ideal customer profile on which everyone is aligned. You can have a few variations to find the sweet spot.
  • Decide what channels you will be targeting for lead generation activities. Your ideal customer profile will give you an idea as to where your prospects are spending most of their time. If they are active on emails reach them via emails or if they are more responsive on phone call them.
  • Based on the above two define what data points you need to get started. For example, do you also need extra information like funding, hiring, management changes to qualify companies over and above the basic contact information?

This will help you in deciding 

  • Whether you actually need an outside B2B contact data provider depending on how niche or broad your requirements are.
  • How closely different contact data providers are able to align with your process in the long term.

Step 2 – Define key KPI’s to measure ROI  

Defining key KPI’s from the start will help you in measuring the ROI of your investment and understanding whether it is cost-effective in the long run to keep outsourcing contact list building to an external partner or not.

It also aligns all the stakeholders towards utilizing the data effectively and set up a consumption rate. 

To define the KPI’s work backward by first defining the number of leads you need to generate to reach your revenue goal. 

For e.g. Let’s say you are planning to run a cold email campaign and your objective is to get around 100 positive responses to fill up the pipeline of your sales team of 4.

Now set a starting value for 

  • Open rates, 
  • Response rates and 
  • Positive response rates you plan to achieve 

Based on above calculate the total number of contacts you need to procure.

calculation of contacts required for cold email campaign

Monitoring KPI’s will help you –  

  • Understand which contact data provider would be able to provide you with not only accurate contacts but contacts matching your customer profile to achieve the desired response rates. 
  • In assessing whether data provider is flexible enough should your requirements change depending on your key performance indicators.

Step 3 – Cost Comparison

Compare the cost of building prospect list in-house vs the cost of outsourcing.

Consider the following factors while doing your calculation, you can add more scenarios depending on how your team is currently building their contacts list.

cost calculator

You can access the Spreadsheet and run calculations to your specific use case.

Step 4 – Quantity of Data

Quantity of data available with any vendor would directly affect the speed, scale, and flexibility with which you can run your lead generation campaigns. 

Apart from the overall size of the database of companies and contacts consider following factors 

  • How fast are they able to scale their database i.e. number of new contacts they are able to add to their database on an average monthly basis.
  • Amount of flexibility you would have going forward in case you plan to expand your lead generation campaigns to new geographies. How much of your total addressable market can they cover?
  • Turn around time i.e. how fast are they able to provide data on the basis of your requirements.  
  • Flexibility in terms of excluding what you already have and only paying for new contacts?

A single data provider will not be able to cover your complete TAM w.r.t. geographies, in such a scenario, consider multiple vendors combining their individual geographic strength.

Step 5 – Quality of Data

Assess the quality of data as per your specific use cases and remember it goes beyond just the accuracy of email and phone numbers. 

A data vendor should be able to match your complete criteria in terms of – 

  • Type of companies you want to target 
    • Size
    • Revenue
    • Industry
  • Type of decision-makers
    • Titles
    • Seniority

For e.g., If you are getting correct emails and phone numbers of Marketing managers and your target are Marketing heads you are still hitting off the mark.

Additional key points you can consider while assessing the quality –

  • How data is processed, do they pull contacts out of static lists or do they run real-time processes for verifying contacts? Real-time processing almost always ensures 5-10% better accuracy. 

For e.g. At Easyleadz we build fresh contacts list on the basis of target requirements and run real-time verification of emails which enables us to commit 90% accuracy on our data.

  • The number of data points included in the data set. For e.g. do they provide additional information about companies like Funding, Hiring or Social profiles for contacts which can be used for running multi-touch campaigns.
  • Ask for the source of data and how often it is validated. Based on the sources and how frequently it is validated you will get an idea of how accurate data can be. 

As per Marketing Sherpa research, B2B data decays by 2.1% every month and turnover is higher for middle management compared to the top management

Depending on how fast any data vendor validates its database, will give you an indication of overall accuracy. 

  • Finally test whatever any data vendor is claiming by asking for a sample of contacts for your quality check, if they don’t provide one, it’s a big red flag.

Step 6 – Pricing and SLA’s

All said and done Pricing is going to play a huge role in your decision to go or not go with a data vendor. 

While how affordable any data vendor is will be driven by the budget at your disposal, still you can look at the structure of pricing contracts.

You can ask the following questions

Are they asking you for upfront commitment with long term contacts although the price per unit may be low or 

Do you have the flexibility of paying on the go and scaling up and down as per your requirements?

It makes more sense to pay a reasonable premium for higher accuracy instead of getting more contacts for less or the same price. 

Understand different SLA’s (Service level agreements) any data vendor operates with. For example  – 

  • How much accuracy are they willing to commit upfront.
  • How fast do they replace bad contacts beyond the committed accuracy limit?
  • Is there a refund available in case of non-fulfillment.

In conclusion, you should spend time in bringing on board a partner who can work alongside you, understanding your needs and willing to invest in your success rather than simply providing you a database of contacts.

Here is what to do next

  • Tell us how has been your experience of working with contact data providers.
