UK Propspect Lists - Advice/Help Needed from other Brits

Hey guys,

Any UKers out there that have experience in getting good leads \ prospect lists?

I'm based in Scotland and have been using lead prospectors from Odesk most recently and the data is very hit or miss.

I'm now considering investing a bit of money in a list from somewhere like selectabase.co.uk

It is very expensive so I would rather not have to do this, so if there are any other options I'd love to hear about them.

Cheers

  • Thanks for the suggestions but I really just want to get on the phone and speak to people, and to do that, I need a good list

    • Absolutely!

      In 12 years I haven't come across a list which didn't have a percentage of error.

      Your best option if you want to speak to someone is to get on the phone and build your own list.

      Finding a list of businesses in your local (or any) area online is easy - especially if you target by profession/industry - and it gives you a chance to check out their existing website (assuming they have one).

      It only takes a few moments.

      Then just start calling - validate and collect contact names as you go.

  • I am from the UK and own a call centre here in the Philippines.

    I utilise it to cold call and to call my existing web customers.

    It works VERY well. Offline sales are WAY up on the online figures... which were good anyway.

    I recommend going that route... you can reach alot of people VERY quickly. It is incredibly cost efficient too!

    Regards
