Using our in-depth experience we have listed below what we believe are the key steps:

Find out more about the organisations you want to target including when best to reach out. You can then tailor your communications making it specific to your target audience and thereby increase the chances of a positive outcome

Research the data list providers so that you choose a provider who understands your requirements and can help your business. If you have complex needs an innovative provider will most likely be able to help you build you a complex campaign

Select a provider who can accurately explain the provenance of their source data and how they keep it current. By doing this you can be confident that you’re reaching out to relevant, current businesses and can rest easy knowing that your campaigns will be effective and GDPR compliant

• Use enriched data to improve campaign success further, such as, financial data, number of employees, etc.
• Categorise your existing data, so that you can use market intelligence to develop even smarter campaigns
• Manage your B2B marketing data into a centralised CRM system enabling you to leverage a single view, workflows and B2B prospecting lists effortlessly
• Cleanse, deduplicate and update your B2B data regularly. With decay rates as high as 70 per cent per annum this is an absolute must.
