“We're paying $15k/year for ZoomInfo and only using basic search.”
Cancel it. I'm serious.
Here's your new stack for about $250/mo:
$149/mo on Cleanlist. 850M+ contacts, 98% verified emails, 85% phone number coverage. ZoomInfo and Apollo hover around 40% on direct dials. Look at the screenshot. Every row has a number and a reliability score. Go check your last ZoomInfo export and count the blanks.
It also scores every contact against your ICP automatically. Your reps call the 92% fits first, not the 66% fits. No more guessing who to prioritize.
$99/mo on Instantly for sending infrastructure.
$0 on Claude for writing sequences. Or just use Cleanlist's Smart Columns. It drafts personalized outbound copy per prospect using company signals like funding rounds, new hires, and tech stack changes. No separate AI subscription needed.
You just freed up $12k/year.
Your data is fresher because Cleanlist updates continuously. ZoomInfo refreshes quarterly and hopes you don't notice the decay.
Put that $12k into ad spend. Hire a part-time SDR. Or just keep it.
The dirty secret of this industry: the $15k/year tools aren't 10x better than the $149/mo tools. They're the same databases with a bigger sales team and a 3-year contract you forgot to cancel.
85% phone coverage vs 40%. Let that sit for a second. You're paying more for less.
Match your stack to what you actually use, not what your AE convinced you that you'd “grow into.”

@thenowhereway before https://t.co/yIZuSXRm62 - I had a lead gen agency that did 6 figures monthly revenue. I was 21/22 at the time and did not want to do that long term, but it was great learning experience.
