LeadRocks - Plus exclusive Reviews

After pulling my 75,000 leads, here is my takeaway:

I searched for "Owner, Business Owner, Company Owner, Small Business Owner, Product Owner, Independent Business Owner, Founder and Owner, Franchise Owner, CEO, CFO, Agency Owner" in Rhode Island, United States.

Yield - 175k results. definitely not accurate. You have to select 500 per page, click "new only" AND "open and save selected". You only get to save 500 at a time and each list can only be 5,000 results.

To export, DON'T FORGET to check the box for "save selected" before you export or you will only export the first viewable page.

Of the 17,775 RI business owners I downloaded, only 56 were in RI. 56!!

Using my MailVerify account I cleaned the list. 53% were valid. I pulled another 2 lists of a "United States" business category and there were duplicates. After de-duping and verifying, out of 4,828 remaining emails, only 873 were valid.

I have spent the last 3 days pulling, downloading, and verifying and I am incredibly disappointed .If there were an API for pulling the leads I could automate this whole thing, but there isn't. I am going to wait a couple of more weeks to see if an API to pull leads is on the horizon, else I am sending it back.

I like the access to a large number of contacts, but I felt it was imprecise. I was unable to triangulate it down to the states and cities.

I bought over 100,000 rolling credits at launch after spotting an issue on the search tool and being assured it would be fixed soon.

It hasn't. Search is useless.

Data is so out of date it is pointless.

Save your money.

10,000 scraped leads: less than 100 correct emails! Data is over 5 years old. Limited filters; the industrial sectors are not the same as on LinkedIn, which creates a lot of friction in finding the right leads. The email tool is completely obsolete, basic, and feels like a child's game. It doesn't allow A/B testing, and the email sending cadence is one after another with no intervals in between, with no ability to set basic variables. Warning with your own domain. The product is not sellable, at least for the Latin American market." Redeem-it

Guess this goes to show it's not a one size fits all. I could have excepted that it just isn't right for my purposes, but with the bugginess and lack of features I feel justified in leaving a review.
I haven't even gotten to the point of using credits yet because:

Bugginess/Lack of Features
- The extension has no functionality with SalesNav.
- On the LinkedIn search pages it does claim to support, it extracts 3 or 4 profiles and then fails
- The integrated search filters don't include key words, tech stack, or any other filter that distinguishes my audience.
- The outreach lacks the basic essentials to comply with sales/marketing email outreach regulation.

Personal Reasons
- My industry is in email deliverability. I built my own resources for email verification and outreach. Those features don't add to the value for me.

If I was interested in a more generic, email and pray approach I might be happier with this choice but that's not my style. Two stars because I recognize there are a few functions I haven't been able to test because I can't get that far.
