• Define your target audience Before you start
  building your B2B contact list, it's important to
  define your target audience. Who are the
  decision-makers and influencers in your industry?
  What kind of companies would be interested in
  your product or service? Answering these
  questions will help you create a focused and
  relevant contact list.

3

• Choose your data sources There are many data
  sources available for B2B contact discovery,
  including company websites, industry directories,
  social media platforms, and third-party data
  providers. Identify the sources that are most
  relevant to your target audience and make sure
  they're reliable and up-to-date.

4

• Use search filters Many data sources offer
  search filters that allow you to narrow down your
  search results based on specific criteria, such
  as industry, company size, job title, and
  location. Use these filters to create a more
  targeted list of contacts.
• Verify your data Once you've identified
  potential contacts, it's important to verify
  their contact information, such as email
  addresses and phone numbers. You can use tools
  like Hunter.io and Voila Norbert to verify email
  addresses and avoid bounced emails.

5

• Organize your data As you gather more data, it's
  important to organize it in a way that makes it
  easy to manage and use. You can use tools like
  Google Sheets or Excel to create a spreadsheet of
  contacts, including their name, company, job
  title, email address, and phone number.

6

• Reach out to your contacts Once you have a list
  of verified contacts, you can start reaching out
  to them via email, phone, or social media. Make
  sure your message is personalized and relevant to
  their interests and needs.
• Keep your list up-to-date B2B contact lists can
  quickly become outdated, so it's important to
  regularly update and refresh your list. Remove
  contacts that are no longer relevant, and add new
  contacts as you discover them.
