Ditch the “Cheap” List & Stop Throwing Money Away!

Posted on Nov 13, 2024 in Blog, Training and HR

We get it. Finding quality leads in the Corporate Training and HR world is a constant battle. Trade shows, LinkedIn, and those tempting “inexpensive” contact lists all seem like viable options. But beware – that bargain list might be the most expensive mistake you make.

The High Cost of Low-Quality Data

While a cheap list might seem like a quick win, it often backfires. These lists are typically riddled with outdated information, inaccurate contacts, and non-decision makers. This translates into two major costs:

  • Lost Time: Your valuable sales reps waste precious hours sifting through inaccurate data instead of closing deals and building relationships.

  • Lost Opportunities: While your reps are busy chasing dead ends, they’re not connecting with qualified decision-makers, leading to missed opportunities and lost revenue.

The Real Cost of “Cheap”

You’re paying your sales reps a premium salary, but if they’re spending 75% of their prospecting time just trying to find the right person, you’re essentially paying triple the cost for a simple task.

The Waste Adds Up

Let’s do the math:

  • If your rep spends 50% of their time prospecting and 75% of that time is wasted on bad data, you’re losing over $2,700 per month and a staggering $32,000 per year – per sales rep!

Don’t Throw Money Away

Before you buy that next cheap list, ask yourself  (or the cheap list vendor):
