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.
