Data.com vs LeadFuze

• Data.com is appealing because it's affordable. You might need to purchase a few contacts to get rolling, but once you're able to add some yourself and gain additional points, it can very rewarding to "earn" additional contacts by submitting some of your own.
• There is a wide range of search terms available to narrow down your list by name, region, company name, and others.
• Easy "add contacts" function, and a template to add a large number of them at once.

• I really like the 'no nonsense' interface and simplicity of LeadFuse. As a digital marketing agency, I also really like the AdWords budget filter... This is great! I can target prospects who are already spending at least 'X' amount of money on paid ads, so I have a basic idea of their budget before I even approach them. This avoids the 'what's your budget' question evasiveness that prospects often give. I can tell them I already know how much they are spending on PPC and cut through the BS.
• I also like the 'technology used' filter. Since we work primarily with Wordpress, I can target prospects NOT using WordPress and pitch web design in a more meaningful way. Or, conversely, I can target ONLY companies using WordPress.
• Finally, I like the semi-automation feature. I can have FuseBot pull down 100 new leads based on my criteria every Monday and, before I dump them into my automated email outreach/nurture campaign, I can glance over them and make sure the all look ok (admittedly, sometimes there are some weird strays in the results that are not in the geography or industry I'm looking for, so I can skip those).

• If it provided more details about the company it would be great- information such as employee size or software used would be great.
• The ability to add a contact with just a number would be great- sometimes you don't have an address.
• It would be helpful to be notified when a contact you have "purchased" has been changed/updated.

• Lists are only 1000 emails long. That is too short. But you can have almost unlimited number of lists.
• The user interface is a bit clunky, but once you get used to it, you can go pretty quickly
• The cost is not cheap, but for what it does, it isn't so bad.

• It does an excellent job of creating a more complete picture of an account and key contacts.
• Helps clarify the key contacts. Sometimes all you get is a mumbled name on a call that might be very important. Data.com allows for a quick search and identification of the contact that would have been lost otherwise.
• Even helped us begin sending marketing assets to customers of our partners that share a need overlap.

• We've had great feedback from our sales team, they've loved the ability to see email responses and the fact that they didn't have to sit down and email and follow up with people every day it was being done for them all automated!
