Common questions

What is the best source of B2B mobile numbers and direct dials?

The best source is the one that delivers reachable records inside your exact ideal customer profile and replaces wrong records free. Judge providers on connect rate in your segment, on freshness at delivery, and on replacement policy, not on total database size.

How much do B2B leads with phone numbers cost?

LeadNumbers packages run from $49 for 200 prospects a month, which is 24.5 cents per prospect, down to $799 for 10,000 prospects a month, which is 8 cents per prospect. Every record includes a mobile number or direct dial, a verified work email and company and role context.

Is it better to buy a lead database or receive leads daily?

A database seat charges for access and leaves list building to your team. Daily per-lead delivery charges for records that land in your inbox and CRM already matched to your profile, which removes the internal hours and keeps records fresh when they are dialled.
