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.
