How List Building & Maintenance Can Impact Your Success in the LONG Run

List Building & Maintenance

‍

It is a very right question to ask. We all know how much importance a list holds in terms of Inside Sales activities.

Building & Maintenance are two different things which need proper supervision.

Identifying our Target Audience is one thing which everyone struggles in. Once we decide on a Target Audience then finding the right contacts is also important. Email Address is also one important thing you will not find in any public forum. There are some techniques that you need to know to find out email addresses of people. Also, some techniques to validate whether it is true or not. Phone numbers are also an important field which we want on our list. These are some of the tools where you can find phone numbers.

Maintenance is also one of the key activities, which includes Cleanup, Revisiting Old Accounts, Marking Warm Prospects and Marking Unsubscribes etc. Sometimes we do these activities casually, which results in annoying the prospects.
