Were in the early stages of planning our wedding, and it has truly been a nightmare to find a DJ. Half of the ones who are recommended are booked out already, and the other half haven't really passed our vibe check. I can assure you were not picky but were looking for someone who's easy to work with and can keep the night alive. Any recomme͏ndations would be great.
Set up Apollo for teh last month and the data feels stale. finding emails that bounce at like 15-20% which is killing my sender rep. heard good things about Prospeo from a buddy who switched recently.
main things i need: accurate emails (obviously), mobile numbers for multi-touch, and decent API speeds since we're doing 500+ enrichments daily. Apollo's mobile data is pretty sparse from what i've seen.
anyone whos used both - how do they actually compare on email data quality? Prospeo claims weekly updates vs Apollo which i think is monthly? also curious about pricing at scale. we're a team of 8 SDRs doing probaly 10k lookups a month. my manager is already on my ass about deliverability so i need to figure this out fast.
bonus points if you've tested thier catch-all handling. Apollo marks everything as "likely valid" on catch-all domains which is basically useless.
I feel like every clinic recommends different things for pores and uneven texture. Some people swear by lasers, others say skin boosters or peels worked better. Curious what actually gave people noticeable results without crazy downtime
My sister actually got it for me so I didn't even choose it myself. When I first saw it I wasn't fully convinced, the red detail felt kind of random and not really my styleI ended up wearing it anyway one day with jeans because it was just there, and it actually looked way better on than I expectedIt's from Atorie and it's one of those pieces that kind of grows on you. Soft, slightly oversized, easy to throw on without thinking too muchstill not something I would've picked myself, starting to think I'm the problem when it comes to picking clothes 😅How would you plan an outfit with it?
I am finally moving out of my garden apartment and into a beautiful old 3rd floor unit near the Belmont stop. My biggest stress right now is my sofa. It barely fit through the door of my current place, and the new place has one of those narrow back porches with a sharp turn at the top. I am terrified of the movers getting it stuck or scuffing up the walls and costing me my security deposit. I really want a crew that knows how to handle these old Chicago buildings without losing their minds. I have seen B͏ig Shou͏lders Mov͏ing trucks all over the North Side and their name keeps popping up in my local searches. Does anyone have experience with them handling difficult furniture in tight spaces? I would rather pay for guys who have done this a thousand times than hire a random crew that struggles with the stairs.
over the past year i've been figuring out how to create a lead list pipeline for our team of 8 SDRs and figured i'd share what's working since i see this question pop up a lot.
step 1: define your ICP tight. not just industry and company size, but actual pain indicators. for us that's companies with 50-200 employees who just raised funding or are growing their product team.
step 2: pick your data source. we use Apollo for the initial prospect list since it has decent filters for headcount growth and funding rounds. usually export 500-1000 contacts per week.
step 3: clean and verify. this is where most people mess up. Apollo's emails are maybe 70% accurate on a good day, so we run everything through a verification tool. been testing Prospeo's verification lately and it catches way more bad emails than NeverBounce did.
step 4: enrich with direct dials. we add phone numbers for roughly a third of our list. calling still converts better than email for us.
step 5: segment by intent if you can afford it. we manually check if companies are using competitor tools or posting relevant job openings.
whole process takes about 3-4 hours per week to build lead lists for 8 reps. each rep gets 100-150 fresh verified contacts. reply rates roughly doubled just from having cleaner data. my manager was skeptical about spending time on verification but the bounce rate drop shut him up pretty quick lol
