Getting a list of outbound leads?

[HJP]

Hi, I'm looking to get a list of outbound leads through either buying them or scraping however I've never done it before.

I've curated a list of around 150 leads manually and had decent success with it however it is incredibly time consuming and I'd like to make use of a list that is pre made / generated.

Does anyone know any good companies ideally in the UK that can get 1-3 thousand qualified leads?

Also how much that I'd be looking to pay for this too?

I would guess to say LinkedIn is your best bet for the UK. In that case, you should probably look at solutions like DuxSoup, Closely, heyreach etc.

If you're going to buy a list, try getting samples from a bunch of providers, run them through Never Bounce, and double-down on the best provider.

For scraping, there's a lot of free chrome extensions out there that vary depending on your industry, but my favourite right now is Instant Data Scraper which is great for scraping Google Maps contact info.

For paid scraping tools, I would use D7 Lead Finder for local businesses, and Apollo for larger companies. There's a lot of other options but I've found success from both.

Also, consider hiring a VA to do scraping for you and just give your login details to save you the hassle.

Hope this helps!

Apify
Google maps scraping tool
Super cheap, comes with phone number for each business can search by industry and area.

Smaller businesses in certain industries will be more likely to be the persons cell phone which will let you text, leave voicemails, etc. good fit for automation but you can always cold call

You can buy lists on things like Apollo.io

You can hire someone on Upwork or Fiverr to build a list for you or they can do the scraping.

The list qualities on Apollo and other tools aren't great. With 1000 emails I say half will be bad leads.

I've just tried out that instant data scraper and it seems pretty great, thanks a lot

Also D7 looks incredibly promising. Thanks a lot for the suggestions.

Hi I'm trying in this filed with custom python programing. Can you provide some more info about what kind of lead are you looking for ? If you provide me more requirements maybe I will be able to recommend you same tools or data sources. You can DM me.

PS. Scraping google maps is great for small local companies because you will get only generic contact e mail from company website. In case of small companies it is mostly email for business over. Right tool will be 'outscraper'

For bigger companies you should consider Apollo.io or snov.io that are specialized sells intelligence apps, you can get direct emails to company employees with this tools.

any thoughts about using seamless.ai? i am using it, i am just not a fan of 1 year contract and they are not exactly cheap, $100+ per month. i dont maximize the use of it, i use it when i remember like once or twice a month.

I just posted a execution thread about building an outbound agency - I'd recommend using LI Sales Navigator and Rocketreach.co
