How do I evaluate the data quality of a B2B contact database before buying? Are there any platforms that offer pay-as-you-go credits or free trials to test accuracy first?
A vendor once promised me 95% accuracy, but after I paid, half the emails bounced and a third of the phone numbers went to the wrong companies. I learned to always demand a small free sample first, something like 50 random records from my target industry, and then verify those against a reliable source. For example, I would open https://www.signalhire.com/companies/at-t/employees and compare what a real B2B contact database looks like active emails, current titles, actual human profiles. If the vendor's sample doesn't match or feels older than three months, I walk away. Also ask for a pay as you go credit option instead of an annual contract that locks you in. Test before you trust.
