Contact Data is actually accurate and complete, especially in unconventional industies. This is is direct comparison with ZoomInfo, Apollo, LeadIQ, and similar others.

Sometimes mobile phone numbers are transposed to a different family member. This is strange, but common.

What problems is Cognism solving and how is that benefiting you?

Cognism is the primary sales intelligent data platform that we use. It provides the lead data for 80% of all leads.

"My favourite prospecting tool!"
What do you like best about Cognism?

I've used a number of different tools in the past but Cognism has been my favourite in my role as an SDR. I use it daily as it goes hand in hand with Sales Navigator and makes my job so much smoother. The user-friendly interface and the great insights it provides about companies definitely adds to the overall efficiency. I also really like that it integrates directly with HubSpot meaning I don't have to transfer the details manually.

What do you dislike about Cognism?

Could be some room for improvement with regular updates to the data sets as some of the contact information has been a little outdated but the support team is always very open to feedback.

What problems is Cognism solving and how is that benefiting you?

Saving a lot of time and energy as an SDR. I can focus on bigger tasks that require a lot more focus.

"Simple and effective when looking for outreach data"
What do you like best about Cognism?

The ability to locate thousands of emails and contacts from a very simple search. I use it most days from simple company searches to full outreach plans

What do you dislike about Cognism?

The data is out of the control of Cognism, as it is using linkedin there can be times when a person has left but since then never updated linkedin. Not something that Cognism would be in coltrol of though

What problems is Cognism solving and how is that benefiting you?

Previosuly we would have difficulty and it would be time consuming to put together a full data set of a few hundered contacts for outreach. Now I can have a complete data set of 100k in just a few mintes

"Very good platform for gaining contact information for lead generation."
What do you like best about Cognism?

The best factor about Cognism is that it gives you several options regularly on contact numbers such as mobile, office number and each contacts specific branch number.

What do you dislike about Cognism?

It feels harsh but if there was any issue with using Cognism I would say that it would be how some industries have been changed on contact searches with no information as to why or what they have changed to.

What problems is Cognism solving and how is that benefiting you?

Cognism is solving how as a business we are able to succesfully reach out to prospects via email and cold calling phone numbers.

Incentivising for a genuine review of a product or process is definetely a great move and making it available for all the Critics and reviewers is appreciated
