D&B Hoovers vs. Lusha

D&B Hoovers is able to help immensely when doing a prospecting research regarding an industry or a company. I use it a few times a month. Once you get the hang of it, it's pretty easy to use. The lists and reports exported from D&B Hoovers are easy to integrate to your presentations and research.

I leverage Lusha daily to powerfully qualify and enrich my leads in multiple ways: from supercharging data extracted from CSV files to seamlessly populating phone numbers and email addresses directly from LinkedIn.However, the HubSpot CRM integration truly needs simplification. While I frequently use the standard sequences, I strongly believe they could be dramatically improved by combining email, InMail, and even audio messages. And finally, the conversations module, currently in beta, shows immense promise!

• I use the visitor intelligence and it will tell me what office from a company has visited our site. I'll, in turn, go through D&B Hoovers to find the relevant contacts that we would benefit from speaking with at that company. I will call or email them, and it's just in a few months we've been using visitor intelligence has led to several ongoing conversations of companies who will become clients and it's an annual calculation to due. It's an ongoing relationship.

• It would be nice to have a general idea of how many contacts it has information for on a particular account at the very start before scrolling through the different pages.
• It would be great to also have the titles of individuals on the list, so it's quicker to sift who to keep in or exclude prior to revealing details.
• No product is perfect! Some of the information generated can be inaccurate or generic, e.g., a phone number for a persona may not be direct for that individual but could be a general customer service number for the company and could be the same number listed for multiple prospects.

The D&B tool has really open up new opportunities for us and really helped the business. Additionally, on a personal level, the platform is very easy to use and I never had any problems with it. From there, I was also able to build some interesting analyses that helped me grow within the company and land me where I am today. I do not use it as much as I used to, but I know what I can do with this tool if needed.

We purchased Lusha without exploring other options. As we grow, we might want to consider other solutions/services

While the platform generally functions well, with pages loading in a reasonable time and reports completing within a satisfactory timeframe, there is room for improvement.

I think it could be better, easier and faster. Whenever I chat with someone it takes so long to get to an actual agent, and then when I finally get to one, they oftentimes don't have the answers for me or do not understand what I am asking, which is very frustrating.

The training sessions were well-structured and covered the key functionalities of the platform, making it easy to get up to speed. The trainers were knowledgeable and responsive to questions, which added value to the learning experience. However, a bit more in-depth coverage of advanced features and use cases would have made the training even more beneficial.

We evaluated a few other tools including ZoomInfo, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, but D&B Hoovers emerged as the best overall fit for our hotel sales use case due to its depth of company data, broad industry coverage, and powerful geographic filtering capabilities. Our primary objective was to identify and contact businesses near our hotels that regularly need corporate lodging accommodations, operate project-based or travel-heavy industries, have the decision-making personnel we can reach directly.

We use Lusha alongside Apollo. Lusha was chosen as our supplementary data source, as it is super intuitive to use, meaning there was no little to no onboarding time which meant no lost productivity to the business. Stacking up against RocketReach, Lusha has much more data availability, and this is also the case for Apollo, whilst Apollo's database might be larger, it often misses contacts that Lusha has, and Lusha has more verified mobile numbers which is super important. In comparison to ZoomInfo is has a much lower price point.

D&B Hoovers is quite effective at adapting to the needs of different departments and locations, allowing for flexible deployment and integration across various parts of an organization. While it scales well and supports a broad range of users and functions, there might be some limitations depending on the size and complexity of the organization’s requirements. Overall, it provides a robust solution that can grow with your needs.4o mini

• D&B Hoovers allows me to make the most of my time when searching for companies within specific industries. Once I find a company and examine their profile, I can then generate a list of employees in the purchasing and engineering departments. The profiles for each listed employee contain cell phone, Email address and LinkedIn profile. This information helps me to bypass the companies front desk and get directly to the people I need to speak with.
• By knowing the specific job title for the people that I am contacting and then being able to click on their LinkedIn link to learn a little about them before I make the call, I come across as a sales professional instead of an impersonal cold-caller.
• In cases where I do need to go through a front desk receptionist whose primary mission is to screen out sales people, I find that three out of four times the receptionist will connect me to the specific employee because I know their name, department, and job title. The Intel provided by D&B Hoovers makes it possible for me to get to the people I need to speak with.

• Better Phone Numbers: Especially in regions like EU and APAC, where mobile numbers are not available with tools like ZoomInfo and Apollo, Lusha comes as a saviour.
