We use PhantomBuster to build our list of leads. We have used sales intelligence tools, and these are very helpful, but not everyone knows they need our services. People that need our services are not always looking for them, so we needed a tool that could feed our colder outreach. PhantomBuster comes already with some awesome scrape templates and we use the Google Maps feature. This allows us to pinpoint prospects that could use advanced maps services and enter them into targeted email campaigns. It is one of our most important prospecting tools.
- Easy to use
- Great templates
- Very smart interface
- Better exporting and storage
- Use of AI for separating fields
- Has an AI migrator for Hubspot, but not other CRM's
- On a monthly basis we have increased our conversations by 15%
- This year it has attributed to 5 sales
- That translates to a monthly revenue $6.5k
- This segment of prospects have 60% open rate on our emails
Scraping is hard, it's very difficult to learn and get right, at least it is for me. ParseHub did not make things easy, I felt I wasn't getting anywhere. Octoparse on the other hand was very different. Your technical literacy is pretty good and it's not impossible as it feels with ParseHub. Sometimes getting the information you wanted can be hit or miss, this I recognize is down to user skill, but the point of these tools is to make data scraping accessible to the lesser skilled. This is what PhantomBuster does really well. With its templates you just need to fill in some details and you're all set and ready to go. Through that same logic you can build your own templates and they work pretty well. All you're left to do is change where you want it, and just click on run all day.

Myself and a business development representative. We seek leads, build automation campaigns, and monitor the results. We focus on different things, but our main focus is to get conversations going so that we can then schedule discovery calls. PhantomBuster is used mostly to feed our cold outreach machine.

It's really just myself there. PhantomBuster is not a complicated multi-level tool. It's also dependable, so once you get the hang of things all the error messages stop. Our company does employ a technical team, but they are not needed for this. It is more important to know what information you are looking for, than anything else, when it comes to the successful operation of this tool. I would say that, this tool is best in the hands of someone experienced in business development.

I don't really have the opportunity to test another Data Extraction tool like Phantombuster.
When I started my job they already have bought this tool so I learned how to use it and honestly I do not have any need to change it.
I think Phantombuster is the best for this
