What format will the database be in?
The database will be in a CSV/Excel format (CSV comma delimited)since this is the most common format used in mail merge, printers, CRM and dialer applications, however, we can format the data in Excel Workbook or any other format you request.
How soon will I get my leads?
Depending on which type of lead you purchase, you may receive your leads within 30 minutes after ordering. Your consultant will give you and ETA for the arrival of your leads.
Can you provide all types of data?
No. We are in the direct marketing space so data used for direct mail, lead generation and telemarketing is our specialty.
We can give you access to many sources of leads and lists. Some of the data we sell is industry restricted and requires FCRA compliance and a Firm Offer of Credit (credit bureau data). These data-sets would include trigger leads and credit platform data.
We also have Invitation To Apply (ITA) data that can be used for non firm offers. County and public record data would include NOD leads, tax lien and bankruptcy lists. We also have self reported ailment leads, responder data and some specialty data, B2B lists or leads your company may require.
We can customize telemarketing or direct mail lists for the mortgage, insurance, automotive, real estate and some specialty industries such as solar, alarm companies and more.
Are the leads I buy scrubbed against the Do Not Call List?
Yes, in most cases, the leads are scrubbed for the DNC and the scrub is valid for 30 days. Legally, you are responsible for scrubbing your own lists so you should discuss this with your consultant prior to calling.
When telemarketing, even if you are using a scrubbed list, if a consumer asks to be put on your DNC list, you should make sure your agents, brokers or telemarketers politely agree and take the phone number off of your telemarketing database forever.
What is the source of the data for marketing lists?
How the data offered by Brokers Data is sourced varies on the data set being discussed. We do not compile any of the data we sell for marketing purposes. Your consultant can certainly explain the differences in data sets, where sourced and the compliance requirements, if any, that is necessary to use the information. Most frequently, the following sources could be as follows:
- White pages
- Census data
- Yellow pages
- Public records, both state and local
- Product registrations and surveys (self-reported)
- Property/realty records such as property deeds
- Credit platform data (industry specific and requires full compliance)
- Mail-order transactions
- Other proprietary sources
We understand the fine distinctions within each data element that results in the most definitive marketing information in the industry and the most complete overview of your prospects.
