When it comes to B2B lead intelligence, not all data is created equal. Many platforms rely on static databases that are updated infrequently.

A-Leads uses Alive Data, which is fresh, real-time, and actionable.

πŸ”΄ Stored Data (Traditional Databases)

Stored data refers to contacts that were collected and stored at some point in the past.

Characteristics:

  • Pulled from lists, public sources, or purchased datasets
  • Updated infrequently β€” sometimes months or years old
  • Often contains outdated job titles, companies, or emails
  • Leads to high bounce rates and wasted outreach efforts

Example:

  • A traditional database shows β€œVP of Marketing at ABC Corp”
  • In reality, that person left the company 6 months ago β†’ email likely invalid

🟒 Alive Data (A-Leads)

Alive Data is verified and enriched in real-time the moment you unlock a lead.

Characteristics:

  • Pulled live from trusted sources
  • Emails and phone numbers verified instantly
  • Job roles and company info refreshed at the time of retrieval
  • Includes buying intent signals and recent activity
  • Significantly reduces bounce rates and improves connection rates

Example:

  • You search β€œVP of Marketing at SaaS companies”
  • A-Leads checks and delivers only current, verified contacts
  • Result: the VP is still at the company, email works, phone number active
