HubSpot Lead Generation Software vs. Hunter

By enabling forms for users to fill out their information for stuff such as newsletters, we are generating leads that we can tap into who might not be interested at that exact time, but will be when there are specials.

The scenario we most commonly use Hunter for is to quickly find and retrieve contact email information. Phone numbers are an added bonus, but they tend to only be available for contacts in the US. SDRs have the extension in order to confirm or to help them "guess" as to what a contact's email address might be. This speeds up our prospecting time considerably. Where Hunter falls short is not being flexible where companies have more than one email format.

• Generating lists of contacts
• Easily pushing out marketing emails
• lots of templates to be used for stuff like forms etc..

• Hunter provides a quick and easy way to look up the email format for any company using the free Google Chrome extension.
• Hunter allows you to upload a bulk list of emails and verify them easily.
• Hunter shows where verified emails were found on web pages and PDF documents. This shows that the emails were published by trusted sources.

• It helps with the sales side of my job but would be create to see more support functionality.

• Hunter is only as valuable as the information it is able to scrape from the internet. If a company has not listed any email addresses online, then Hunter is not going to be able to find it.
• Sometimes Hunter is only able to identify non-personal-specific email addresses (ex: info @, support@, etc.). This makes it difficult to identify personnel emails
• Sometimes companies will have different email domains that Hunter is not able to correlate. For example, when searching for an email address at Lead.com, Hunter is not able to point to ParentCompany.com email addresses that would be more useful.

I personally haven't used any other products like hubspot, it was also not up to me why this was chosen.

We have been trying to get lead information on SalesTools and PLENTY, however, these two tools are mostly oriented to create follow-up campaigns and the setup is pretty complicated. If you are looking to create just a list of semi-qualified leads, you may try Hunter, but SalesTools has already an inner feature to build prospects in a better way.

Incentivized

• It has generated a fair few long term contacts that we can continually follow up over years until they're ready to sign.
• It makes sending out marketing emails much quicker which is always useful so that we can spend time on other dollar productive activities.

Incentivized

• Positive to be sure. I don't always get the results I want, but I use the free version and I'm satisfied to go there first when I need an email
• It's a fast quality product. It was better before when it resided on my LinkedIn account, but that's another matter...
