    Cognism
    Cognism works great for startups, scale-ups and large enterprises. It helps us close deals faster because we can very easily find the right people who can move our deal forward fast, and reach them directly instead of having to go through an HQ number/gatekeeper. It also saves us hours and hours on research we'd otherwise have to do manually.

    For self-publishers, Marq is the best option, in my opinion. I have recommended it to others and they have been also amazed at how beautiful their end product looks and how easy it is to export and get the printers. A win win for everyone involved in the process of creating magazines and marketing materials.

    Pros
    Cognism
    • They give us a headsup if the phone number is direct, mobile, or HQ
    • They advise us if the email is verified - that reduces our bounce rate.
    • They also advise us if our prospect's number is in the DNC list

    Cons
    Cognism
    • The mobile number quality needs to improve as the connect rate is lower
    • It should also add sub industries to contract the list and find ICP
    • The AI assistant is not ideal

    Usability
    Cognism
    Cognism's UI is modern and sleek. While some functions like setting up sequences required a few more clicks than I think is necessary, every other feature is intuitive and easy to use. Everything is easy to find and users are able to quickly navigate to where they need to go for different use cases like research, email creation and sequence building

    Cognism is great as its positioned itself in the middle of the pack from a pricing perspective, as it provides quality data for campaigns. The lower and cheaper options do offer it at a fraction of the cost but that just means that data quality is lower. Cognism is the best allrounder

    I think if we had found Canva first we would have probably chosen it as our platform. We had already invested a lot of time and energy into developing multiple templates and branding standards in LucidPress

    • I am able to save over $10K per issue by doing the design and layout myself.
    • I am able to save at least 2-3 weeks per issue by doing the design and layout myself.
