How do you quantify rep time lost to bad/missing contact data?
For RevOps/Sales Ops teams: do you have a good way to quantify how much rep time is lost to missing, stale, or incomplete contact data?
We're thinking about things like:
- reps manually finding contacts
- reps validating emails
- reps hunting for phone numbers
- reps fixing CRM fields
- duplicate account/contact cleanup
- stale job titles
- missing firmographics
- bad routing due to incomplete fields
- sequences failing because the list quality was poor
This seems like one of those problems that creates a ton of drag but is hard to measure because the work is distributed across every rep.
A few questions for anyone who has insights:
- Do you track this in your org?
- Who owns contact/account data quality?
- Do reps update CRM themselves, or is enrichment automated?
- What data quality metrics do you report on?
- Have you ever calculated the productivity cost of manual prospecting/research?
Would love to hear what’s working and what’s still painful.
