The opportunity
Lead enrichment is a critical process for B2B sales and marketing, but users struggle with data accuracy, high costs, and poor user experience, especially around LinkedIn data extraction and cancellation policies. Despite these challenges, there's clear willingness-to-pay for reliable solutions, indicating a market ripe for a product that prioritizes data quality, transparent pricing, and customer data ownership.
Cost of the problem
Businesses estimate over 25% of their marketing databases are filled with old or dirty data, and tools like ZoomInfo can have 30% stale signals, leading to wasted marketing/sales effort and time spent cleaning CRM records. Unfair pricing models and credit loss on cancellation also represent a direct financial cost to users.
Who has it
B2B marketing and sales executives, growth teams, agencies running outreach for clients, and individuals who pay for lead data out of pocket.

I resonate with you. prospecting is getting fewer and fewer responses. With AI now handling the screening part of the emails and if you see Google has come up with a new feature AI in the emails.

I& 39;d be looking at the list before the copy. The fact that your reply rate stayed similar but the quality of replies dropped suggests deliverability or lead quality changed more than messaging. I& 39;d also avoid reusing the same non-responders too quickly, sometimes the market is saturated, not the copy.

Thanks for this! The thing is the lead is from Apollo and this is cold outreach. So they would have never opted into anything. Any ideas?
