Prospecting platforms
I found something curious exploring platforms to find prospects:
They look like independent products from different owners. But when you actually try them out, they are identical. How is this possible?
Trending on Indie Hackers
It looks like they basically being white labelled and someone just built it once and sold it to different operators and they re-selling it under their own brand. At the end of the day, everything is quite the same: LinkedIn+hunter.io would give you the best possible combination of contact data for specific person...
Yes indeed it looks like a white label. I've been try to find the source of this unsuccessfully. Each of these operators sell it as if it were they own and I cannot really find the source of the original one. But I guess this is the point of the white labelling.
There is also a tool named Aeroleads, it's what I use at my marketing and consulting firm for finding prospects. It was the only one that fit my budget when I was starting out and I use it to this date because I have been able to generate a lot of sales with this tool. It works well on LinkedIn which is my primary hunting ground for finding prospects, I keep making changes to the methods used for examining the leads before they are selected as marketing intelligence but this tool has really allowed me to be flexible with my lead qualifying processes.
Most data sources like this are the exact same and the quality is typically quite low.
It doesn't look like it is just data sources though. These are platforms that allow you to find emails from linkedin or company domains. They also have some automation tools to send bulk emails to the email addresses you found. Plus a few other tools too. And all 3 platforms are the are the same.
Ahhh... wow, yeah, that's interesting.
