The platform is always being updated and made better and better. This is a perfect solution for businesses of any size. Incentivized Helpful? Mark Stafford Founder Chose LeadFuze Lead Fuze focuses on the data from LinkedIn users. It is much easier to set up a campaign in Lead Fuze and then connect it to automation. With LI Sales Navigator, you have to do more work and I'm not convinced that it provides the best data, though I can't prove that. LI Sales … Incentivized Helpful? Gary Shouldis Founder & CEO Chose LeadFuze While we still use Autoklose for automated email outreach, we switched to using LeadFuze for list curation for our lead generation programs. While both tools are good we found LeadFuze to offer a much larger database as well as more filter options to build the exact curation … Incentivized Helpful? Clive Elleforde Chief Revenue Officer Chose LeadFuze Pearlfinders is up to date and comprehensive with its reports and refreshes its data every qtr. They provide much easier targeted data and also on specific projects that are hot. It's more about deeper rich content that just lead gen. It provides a reason to call, not just a … Incentivized Helpful? Dror Hodeda Founder Chose LeadFuze LeadFuze has more filters than other software I've been using such as FindThatLead and Snovio and that gives me the chance to drill down even further into specific niches. Also, the system is really more user friendly and simple to use even more than other software I used in … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose LeadFuze Hunter is really friendly, but it lacks data in some cases, and [doesn't find] the right positions for each email which is a shame. This is where LeadFuze does a much better job. At the end of the day, I am counting more on LeadFuze than Hunter in terms of accuracy. Incentivized Helpful? Adam Goodman Founder/CEO Chose LeadFuze I found LeadFuze a few years ago and have always looked to them first given the great product and customer service. I go in and out of active membership depending on what my consulting projects demand. Great value given the price point. Incentivized Helpful? Paul Crosby PMP Chief Financial & Marketing Officer Chose LeadFuze LeadFuze provides faster results with a better interface. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose LeadFuze I don't even want to compare. We have a great plan with LeadFuze and we are really happy! Incentivized Helpful?

Verified User Anonymous Chose LeadFuze We have mostly worked with independent and overseas contractors in the past before trying a service such as this one, and even though we may not have other companies to compare it to we also don’t have any reason to try others. I foresee us utilizing the service for a very long … Incentivized Helpful? Shehryar Shaukat ¦ B2B ¦ SAAS ¦ Aggressive Growth Chief Marketing Officer Chose LeadFuze Leadfuze has unlimited data, which simply makes it a no-brainer, especially for SaaS companies, looking to target various verticals through email campaigns.

Scott Carson President Chose LeadFuze LeadFuze is just the best, plus the customer service is second to none. Whenever I have a need or question I can get their staff on the phone to help answer my questions and queries. That's important in helping us move quickly and not waste time sitting around waiting for … Incentivized Helpful? Jonathan Rockett Founder/Owner Chose LeadFuze I've looked into GetProspect for mining validated emails, but it didn't have two of the features that ultimately lead me to LeadFuse - the Technology Used filter and the Google AdWords Spend filter... As a marketing agency, these are great for prospecting my own client leads, … Incentivized Helpful? Jessica Schwindt VP of Client Success Chose LeadFuze Data.com, Discoverorg. So far I do like LeadFuze the best. Incentivized Helpful? Gareth Ellis Business Owner Chose LeadFuze Leadfuze makes it easy to automate the processing of prospects in volume, and is much less expensive than Navigator, which won't allow for email follow-ups, as well as building more sophisticated outreach campaigns using automation. Incentivized Helpful? Doug Ellenberger Wabash Valley Lean Network Chose LeadFuze I was using a cobbled up, barely legal way of getting leads. LeadFuze is more cost effective, quicker and legal!!! Incentivized Helpful? Jared Spencer Director of sales Chose LeadFuze LeadFuze was the best value for dollar. Incentivized Helpful? Scott Martinis CEO/Founder Chose LeadFuze I tried Aeroleads, Seamless.AI, and LeadIQ before this. Those platforms can be good, but the problem is it requires you to manually click through Sales Navigator at some level. They also either have limits or require a lot more clicking. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose LeadFuze We selected LeadFuze because it's a huge time-saver. To get the same quality of leads (ie, those that match our search criteria) would take us much more time and effort using other platforms. We prefer not to name the other platforms out there, but we have tried many of the … Incentivized Helpful? Scott Scales Health Insurance Specialist Chose LeadFuze We have not used another system like LeadFuze because it has provided exactly what we need at a price that we can justify.

Jesse Hernandez Head of Growth Chose LeadFuze I've used a few manual scraping solutions but LeadFuze simplifies the entire process and is a great all-in-one solution Incentivized Helpful? Bobby Shields Sales and Marketing Manager Chose LeadFuze ZenProspect is much, much more expensive (or was before it got acquired...). Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose LeadFuze LeadFuze is the first tool of this nature we have used. Incentivized Helpful?	PersistIQ MH Maren Hudson Sales Operations Lead Chose PersistIQ I have not used another product similar to PersistIQ Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose PersistIQ We decided on PersistIQ because it was cheaper than the incumbents and as we were starting we wanted to see if this would be helpful or relevant to us. We later discovered Apollo.io and we might switch to them as they are also cheap and look better, but we might also get back … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose PersistIQ I've used both PersistIQ and Outreach in the past 2 years, so I feel my comparisons should still be fairly accurate. Persist is better for smaller, earlier stage companies looking for a cheaper and easy sales automation tool. Outreach is definitely the more powerful and … Incentivized Helpful? David Willette Business Development Chose PersistIQ Outreach has more features for email sending alone, along with other features that help with sales. It helps make it a more all-in-one platform rather than just an email tool. I feel that Persist IQ doesn't go far beyond a mass email tool. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose PersistIQ N/A Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose PersistIQ PersistIQ is the simplest and most affordable of the solutions I compared it against.

Shaun Houshmand Automation Strategy Chose PersistIQ I haven't used a competitor solution Incentivized Helpful? Kevin Gilman National Account Executive Chose PersistIQ I haven't used many other mass email tools, but when I was investigating, PersistIQ was a very good bang for the buck. They are a relatively small investment for the technology, compared to their competitors. I also love that I can always email or use the widget to reach … Incentivized Helpful? Dylan DeClerck VP of Sales and Marketing Chose PersistIQ MailChimp isn't for cold emails, it is used for newsletters, and I think that if we were to try our campaign on MailChimp they would shut our account down within a matter of hours without any chance of recovery. PersistIQ is clear about what they are supposed to be used for … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose PersistIQ They provided a rational approach which did not prove true for us.

User Testimonials
	LeadFuze	PersistIQ
Likelihood to Recommend	LeadFuze is great for B2B companies that need an all-in-one lead generation outreach program. This software allows even novices to curate targeted lists and run outreach programs at scale. It is well suited for small or large teams and both the marketing and sales team can benefit from the program. It is also a useful tool for HR, where you can curate lists of qualified candidates and reach out to them proactively. Incentivized Gary Shouldis Founder & CEO Read full review	Probably ok if you really don't care who you are sending your outreach to. Really bad for anyone who cares about sending a specific message to a specific audience. Probably not great for clients who enjoy reliable communication, quality results, or actually receiving what you're paying for. Ryan Freeman President Read full review
Pros	LeadFuze is easy to use. Like any software it takes a little getting used to.....but the product works and it is providing leads to help grow our business. Support is quick and helpful. I even had the owner on chat with me a few times. You are going to get stuck once in a while. The LeadFuze support team with get you out of trouble and back making money. There are a lot of good leads available. And more are added on a regular basis. Can't ask for more than that. Cost is reasonable, especially when compared to PPC. Doug Ellenberger Wabash Valley Lean Network Read full review	Integrates well with tools that work with LinkedIn Sales Navigator to scrap lead emails. Makes it easy to manage large-scale cold email campaigns with 3+ steps. When a prospect replies to an email, it doesn't send them any of the automated emails which allow me to follow-up with those warm leads correctly. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	We were doing simple text emails that were coming out of sales peoples inboxes so this functionality wasn't totally needed on our end at the moment, but we imagine that we would have wanted to do more with customizing emails in general. Verified User Anonymous Read full review	There are some issues with downloading reports. That is, some information is only available in-product and you cannot export these things. Creating dynamic replies or steps in Persist isn't currently available. Sometimes the Persist system doesn't catch errors in unfilled prospect fields. One must be check and be careful not to send these types of emails. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	LeadFuze is super easy to get going and start to work with. There are videos to walk you through it but all you have to do is fill out the form that tells the system what kind of leads you're looking for and you're good to go - it does the rest of the work for you! Incentivized IC Ian Campbell CEO (Chief Executive Officer) Read full review	In my opinion, poor service, and in our experience, ignoring our advise on who our customers are. Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	Very poor again. I booked 3 demonstrations with them, the first failed to support due to tech issues, the second one failed to arrive for the meeting, as did the third meeting arranged. I had difficulty trying to find anywhere to engage online with them, so the customer experience is very low down in my opinion. Clive Elleforde Chief Revenue Officer Read full review	Terrible; non-existent. Weeks without replies, and no improvements in 4 months. Ryan Freeman President Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Lead Fuze focuses on the data from LinkedIn users. It is much easier to set up a campaign in Lead Fuze and then connect it to automation. With LI Sales Navigator, you have to do more work and I'm not convinced that it provides the best data, though I can't prove that. LI Sales Navigator only lets you run one search at a time. With Lead Fuze, you can run as many as you want (I think) Mark Stafford Founder Read full review	Compared to MailChimp, Persist IQ allows for more personalization, simpler emails, and more complete campaigns. MailChimp is basically a tool for bulk email with heavy design. Versus Marketo, PersistIQ is much more user friendly. You don't need to be an engineer or SQL master to use Persist. It's made for sales and marketing folks. Marketo is built for bigger teams with engineers and CRM experts. Marketo is better for nurture campaigns and automated email, plus database management and as a CRM. But Persist is a much lighter option and it's WAY cheaper. I've used the Gmail plug-in for HubSpot and their templates feature. It's not great for bulk email or building out campaigns, but it's nice to have canned messages right in Gmail. To use PersistIQ on the other hand, one must work directly in their system, not in Gmail, although replies and sent messages do go directly though the email provider. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	The amount of time I spend on prospecting for clients is so minimal that it barely registers on my calendar, and time is money. I can offer the same lead generation efforts for my clients at a large profit margin, since I can have unlimited lead lists and automate the service for them as well... They feel my team is spending hours mining LinkedIn for laser-targeted leads, but we simply have it running in the background. Incentivized Jonathan Rockett Founder/Owner Read full review	I have 100% closed multiple deals due to my outreach on PersistIQ. Outside of closing deals, this has been a great tool for getting me in front of a lot of high profile clients. I have easily paid for my license with PersistIQ in 8 months.
