And, if you‘re not looking for costly tools and looking for a human data verification vendor who can manually check each contact to make sure you're getting accurate data. I know someone who can help check your DM.

Hi @Shantanu Deshmukh, there are a variety of database tools in the market as per regions you are targeting just to name a few Lusha, Lead411, seamless.ai, slintel, cognism, Apollo, salesintel etc.

But there are NO perfect tools that have 100% data accuracy as far as I know. I've tested and worked with many tools. They'll provide you with a maximum of 68-75% accuracy.

For getting 90-95% accuracy what you can do is create an Inhouse Data team that can manually scrap all the Data of your target audience from these tools & then verify the data by the human validation team where they'll remove, update Bad leads like dead contacts, wrong phone numbers, wrong emails. Hope that helps!

Anyone interested in joining a Slack community oriented around exchanging referrals and/ or driving referrals for commission?

Good morning! Do you have an employee in New York, with your business based in another state? I am hoping someone might help me with a specific question related to New York’s disability/PFL law. I am getting three different answers from my insurance broker, the NY Workers Comp Board and my payroll company. If you think you might have any knowledge on this front, please let me know!

Hi Rasa, thanks for this! I’m sharing this on Facebook, is that ok? My circles are in this area and I thought there might be some syncs. If there’s any problem with this let me know and I’ll remove the post

Hey guys, don't know if this has been shared already but here it goes. This is the list of all Digital Marketing Specialists in Ukraine that lost their jobs due to the war.

This is great thank you so much Skyler.

Hey everyone, yes it's me again. So I am also writing an article on KPI vs Metrics for my client Whatagraph and I'm looking for some insights on the topic.
I would be delighted to quote you and the ideal person should be a digital marketer or agency owner for the same.
And my questions are:
• How would you define and differentiate both?
• How would you use KPIs in your business?

Hey all—just received an email with this list of Agency conferences this year in case anyone is interested, some seem pretty good: https://sakasandcompany.com/agency-conferences-2022/

Out of curiosity, what is everyone's tech stack for written content production and SEO? Currently on SEMrush and trying out Frase to simplify research while producing pieces.

Dear all. Any recommendations on contact data vendors? For our outbound sales in B2B space (specifically healthcare sector), we are searching for data vendors - vendors, freelancers, coders - who can provide us accurate data as per our requirements. We do have a Zoominfo subscription, but the data quality is poor and does not match the enterprise pricing that it charges.

Exactly! Honestly I totally support this as an employee, and I think it's a great idea on your part for the support of your team.

Nice. That's what we'll do I think. We're not in a rush and don't need to make massive profits, so might as well take things slowly

Obviously that isn't always possible (there are always busier and slower times for us overall, which I think is just due to the business model and the way our contracts work) but it's good that we were able to talk about it and do it at that point

It slows down profit in the short term, but I think it makes a much better working environment in the long term to know that you're able to raise your hand as a team and say hey, we need to slow this down a little

Nope. We just didn't do as much sales outreach + paused spend on LinkedIn and Google, then ramped it back up again once we were ready to take on more clients. I honestly think it was good because we were able to establish better processes in that time and people were able to work a reasonable amount rather than being overwhelmed like we had been in the past

Awesome. Honestly I want to do this just so we don't stress out and everything is doing slowly and steadily. Did you struggle to get leads/clients once you were ready to accept clients?

we're a very small team and most of us have worked together in the past so there's a lot of trust, which is I think why it's possible

I work at a consulting firm so slightly different but we've done this in the past (our engagements are 3-4 months long rather than ongoing for the most part so that's why it's a little different) — we've pressed pause on sales in times that we know the team is going to be slammed

I wish more agencies would do this, but the almighty dollar usually takes control.

Blend localization

Hey everyone, have any agency owners experimenting with capping the number of clients they work with? I.e. only working with 4 clients and only accepting more once they have the right systems in place?

Hi all! I'm thinking of hiring a community manager for our agency, it's a brand new role and I'd be keen to hear from anyone that has experience in this field or the hiring of the role. I have a job spec and would love someone to tell me what they think!
