Do you provide mobile numbers?
No.
We can really understand your concern for mobile numbers. However, would like to apprise you that we deal with international clientele and are thus Privacy Compliant & follow international standards when it comes to Data privacy & Security. We are well compliant with CAN-SPAM Guidelines as per the US authorities and the GDPR laws by European Union(EU), which prohibit sharing any personal information including mobile numbers. Thus, we do not maintain such database. • Small vendors are selling mobile numbers- This won’t happen for long, India is on the verge of releasing its own Privacy Laws anytime soon the bill is scheduled to be tabled this winter session of parliament. This will put an end to trading in any kind of personal information. • What we provide is Head Office Boardline Nos. and Direct Business email addresses of CLevel executives, who generally are available at Head office only. So, reaching out has never been an issue with any of our customers.
How Connect+ is different from LinkedIn?
Connect+ offers the business information. You will get direct business email addresses.
Would like to point out here that all the Information given on Linkedin is being update by the very same person. It is a natural human tendency of a person to glorify his image, so the information might not be correct. In Sales & Marketing Domain a major chunk of executives do use linkedin but this is not true with other departments like Finance & Admin etc Many a times this can be noted that people have changed their jobs but have not updated it on Linkedin.
Contact Information is only available when the person has chosen to display the information in his security settings. Then what you get is his Private Mobile No. and Private email and sending a corporate communication on private mobile or email is not much recommended. All such mails generally land in Spam box.
Differentiate with Sales Navigator: There is a Limitation on the number of in-mails. Most of the executives do not often check their Linkedin Accounts. Communication reaches again on Private emails.
Filters are much limited- especially the Revenue Filter if you check is not available, which generally is major segmentation source.
Sales Navigator Accounts are Person specific and cannot be bought by a company in form of multiple user licenses for it’s whole Sales Team, making it difficult to claim as a corporate expense even.
How does the pricing for Connect+ look like?
Can I measure and analyse my email campaigns?
: Yes, Connect+ provides detailed analysis reports. You can get instant insights, which mean more time for high-value activities like giving demos and building relationships.

Can I download database in an excel sheet? What all information will be there?
Yes. We can share a sample or highlight the fields here.
I am using Mailchimp currently, Can you help me how Connect+ can benefit me?

I am looking for domestic and international data both, How can you help me?
