| Telemarketing could be an effective,
efficient, and a profitable method of reaching potential clients. Accuracy and
availability of phone numbers is an integral part of any telemarketing campaign. Our phone
append services will add phone numbers plus other valuable information to your list.
If you have a list of phone numbers, but no addresses, our reverse phone append will
append names, addresses, as well as other valuable information to your list. |
| |
|
|
| Our phone append services is quite unique.
Here are some of the major differences between our phone append services and most
other vendors. |
- Search logic: We append phone numbers to
each record, using similar logic as a person would use to find phone numbers searching in
a database.
- Address hygiene: We will run your list
through our address correction program, which will correct any misspelled street names or
cities and correct any bad zip codes.
- List of similars: We will provide you with a
list of all matches and similars we obtained. Quite often companies will use
variation of the same name (legal name vs. listed name in phone book or dba vs.
corporate), and sometimes an individual will reside in a household where the phone is
under someone else's name. This is the area where we surpass other vendors and our search
logic will find those hard to find numbers. We can generally append an average of 62-86%.
We experience an append ratio of about 65% with tax lien
and bankruptcy lists, and
higher append ratios with more generic lists (above ratios are true if your provided list contains names and
addresses).
- We don't need complete information: Most
vendors will require a complete name and address to run a phone append, WE DON'T.
See our requirements below.

| Businesses: Our business
database contains +12 million records, containing listings from yellow pages and various
public records databases, updated monthly. Individuals:
Our individual database contains +130 million households and +170 million
individuals, compiled from a combination of white pages, voter registrations, DMV records,
and real estate records, updated on monthly basis.
Unlisted phone numbers: Please note that we
do NOT have any unlisted phone numbers.
NOTE: If you are
requesting phone append services for our tax lien or bankruptcy
databases, the phone appended is obtained from the public record
databases listed above, NOT the actual court record (tax lien record
or the bankruptcy record). |

to view our phone append pricing. Please keep in mind that unlike other vendors we charge
for each record we append in your database, therefore if we do not find a match or a
similar to your record - then we don't charge you. For instance, you give us a list of
20,000 records and we only append 16,500 of them - then we charge you only for the 16,500
we were able to append. |

|
| The more complete and accurate information
you provide us, the more accurate your results will be and the fewer matches you'll
receive. For instance if your input file only contains business name and state, your
results will be less accurate and more similars than if your input file was business name
and complete address. |
- Requirements for individuals: Your
individual file may be in any of the following formats:
- Complete name (last & first), and complete address.
This method will provide you with the best results.
- Complete name (first & last) and county name and state.
- Complete address but NO names.
- Phone number only, if you are doing a reverse phone append.
- Requirements for businesses: Your business
file may be in any of the following formats:
- Business name and complete address. This method will
provide you with the best results.
- Business name and state.
- Complete address but NO names.
- Phone number only, if you are doing a reverse phone append.
- NOTE: If your list contains businesses and
individuals, you must submit them separately, i.e. one file for businesses and one file
for individuals.
- Acceptable file formats: We can accept your
file in comma delimited, tab delimited, dbf 3, dbf 4, dbf 5, and MS Excel 5 and newer
(note that MS Excel files have a limitation on the list size, e.g. Excel 2000 can only
contain 65,536 records, earlier versions will support even fewer). We prefer and recommend
comma delimited files.
- Your list structure: Your list must have a
separate field (column) for each data type, i.e. last name, first name, business name,
street address, city, state, zip, county, or phone number (if you're doing reverse phone
append). If your first and last name is combined into one field (one column), there will
be an additional $15 per thousand input charge (but the entire field must be consistent,
e.g. first name + middle name + last name).
- How do you get the file to us: You can send
us your file via email, ftp, or simply ship it to us on a zip 100, 3.5 floppy or a CD.

Your results can be sent to you in a variety
of methods. Your results will contain all the
matches/similars we were able to obtain using your provided information. A normal business
phone append based on complete input (you give us business name and address) will generate
an average of 2 to 10 matches/similar per input record; while a normal individual phone
append based on complete input (you give us individual's first and last name and address)
will generate an average of 1 to 5 matches/similars per input record. More common names
generate more matches than unique names, which makes a complete or a partial address very
helpful. You may choose to receive your results in two different formats:
- Acrobat pdf report: This is the recommended
choice. This report is simple and very easy to read. Following are some samples:
- Raw data: This format is available in comma
delimited, tab delimited, dbf 3, dbf 4, dbf 5, Excel 97 and Excel 2000. To see a business
sample click here, or an
individual
sample. This format is useful if you plan to import the results into your in-house
program. We do not provide technical support in understanding or using this format,
but it should be easily understood by a programmer or someone of advanced database
knowledge.
- Information you receive: You will receive
the following information. Please note that only the phone number field will be
available 100% in your results, the remaining information will vary as shown in
parenthesis.
