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.
π΄ 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- Often contains outdated job titles, companies, or emails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 βVP of Marketing at ABC Corpβ
- In reality, that person left the company 6 months ago β email likely invalid
π’ 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 βVP of Marketing at SaaS companiesβ
- A-Leads checks and delivers only current, verified contacts
- Result: the VP is still at the company, email works, phone number active
