Also, here are some important things we looked at for our rankings.

Features

Do you want to hand over your entire sales and marketing campaign to a sales lead generation company? Or do you need more hand-holding because you don’t have enough dedicated staff to monitor and develop sales strategies?  Does your company have an existing CRM (customer relationship management) platform or do you need access to these tools and databases? Comparakeet has profiled potential partners for your business which should give you and your staff the tools to determine which company is the right fit for you!

Just remember, a sales team needs to sell - not waste their time verifying leads!  An exceptional lead generation company will offer multi-channel solutions that will not only verify, nurture and follow up with leads, but they can provide real-time reports, search engine optimization (SEO), domestic and international capabilities, tracking, social media marketing and even run email and direct mail campaigns.

Pricing

Here’s the big elephant in the room!  Some sales lead generation companies do not release any pricing information on their websites. You need to contact them directly to get a quote.  Other sites conveniently display their pricing and spell out offers which can include subscription tiers, 1-10+ person dedicated sales team and managers, monthly or yearly rates, and a free trial period. Comparakeet breaks this down for you!

My Database is Bigger Than Your Database.  Fact or Fiction?

Every sales lead generation company claims they have the biggest and best database.  But how do you verify this? Do you place blind trust in their slick marketing campaign to get you to commit to sign on the dotted line for a 1-year contract?  Does the company buy and resell data from 3rd parties and resell it to you at a nice markup? Do they have a proprietary database or rely on public records? How do they verify their leads and how often are they updated? Let Comparakeet do the research and you decide who rightfully earned this bragging right.

Ease of Use

A well-designed lead generator website should communicate who they are and what they can do in order to make each visitor a paying customer.  The competition is pretty fierce in this industry and an easy to navigate website written in simple language is way ahead of the game. Assuming that visitors are well-versed in online sales and marketing lingo is okay, but keep it clear and concise anyway.  Effective calls-to-action should lead to the ultimate click to become a long-term customer with a minimum of fuss and questions.

Customer Support

Need help?  Support comes in many forms but the best companies will offer a multitude of options - 24/7 call centers (both domestic and international, if applicable), a dedicated campaign manager and team, email, online contact form, live chat, FAQ, and an informative glossary.  Read on to see how Comparakeet ranks the competition in this category!

  • Hi, How do you evaluate a company to get on the list? Is this personal preference or you are comparing by performance?

    • Hi Phil,

      It’s a bit of both. We compare the features of the products/services we review and we rank them based on what we think will offer the best value to our readers. 🙂

      Hi Khuram,

      Our top 3 is a good place to start. If you want to advertise on one of the largest social networks for professionals, you should check out LinkedIn Ads. Meanwhile, if you are looking for a solid multi-channel marketing tool, Callbox Inc. comes highly recommended. Finally, if you want to boost your email subscribers, Padiact might be a good fit for you.
