A. This is our most up to date list, our data is edited as there are changes, we don’t delete the entire database and start again as it is not necessary. It is based on the accuracy of public records like phone and web directories, so if the source of the data is up to date, so is ours. 

A. Around 5% of these have email addresses, they do include phone numbers and postal addresses. It is an inexpensive way to start building your own database of contacts. They usually have one main phone number, either landline or mobile, whichever is most prominent.

A. We do not break down our lists unfortunately. The reason being is that our prices are really competitive compared to others because we have standard data sets for the different industries.

For us to go in and process a customised order, filter the results and process the payment would take more time than our set, automatic system. So we would have to charge more.
You will probably find that if someone does a customised set of results for you, they will probably cost far more than our complete lists for Australia. You can easily filter out the results yourself by postcode, business name, suburb or state to get only the desired contacts.

A. As soon as your payment has been processed, you should return to our website, where you can download it. If for some reason, it does not go back to our site.

A. Please use our contact form and email your order number. If you do not know that, your email address and the name you purchased it under.

A. We just provide the data. We do not run the campaigns ourselves, we leave that up to you. I can give you a bit of advise from my experience though. I have found that telemarketing, giving a one line introduction on what your company does and asking for the managers name, their email and permission to send them some info works really well. You can then send follow up emails regularly with more info, promotions and specials.

A. As for updates, if you need updated versions, you will have to buy again. However you don’t see too much major changes until around every 12 months, just a few records here and there. You should find however that our prices are extremely competitive when compared to other providers who do this.

A. We do not have many at all with Employee estimate or turnover sorry.

A. Yes it does, it covers all of our other categories.

A. In most cases, each individual store location is listed with its address and phone number.

A. We are restricted on selling emails by the Anti Spam laws in Australia. We can provide a sample script for telemarketing to gather email addresses. This works really well as it breaks the ice with the clients. Many of our clients have had great success with this. Just email and ask for a copy of our Telemarketing Script.

A. It took a few days for your payment to clear. Which was stated in Paypal when you purchased. Once it clears, you should have got an email with a link to download it. Please check your Junk Email, then let me know if you have not received it and I can resend the email with download link.

A. Yes you can, please e-mail us through our contact form or the e-mail link on the product page and let us know which product you would like a sample for? We do only provide a small snapshot of random contacts from each list. We will not provide specific samples for certain areas.

A. This is our most up to date list, our data is edited as there are changes, we don’t delete the entire database and start again as it is not necessary. It is based on the accuracy of public records like phone and web directories, so if the source of the data is up to date, so is ours. 

Aweber won’t let you upload the list. Most others will not either, as they will specify you can not use bought lists.

For yourself, I see you do SEO. What I think would work really well is to get the list. Sort all the industries that you like to target or your theme of your link network might suit. Then put someone on part time to call them, introduce your company briefly, then ask for the managers name and email address. Then ask if you could email some information through on your services. That way you have made a friendly first contact and you will stand out from all of the spammers once you do this and a lot more emails will get through.

You should get through around 20-30 phone calls an hour if you use a nice short script and anyone half decent on the phone should be getting at least 70% of these to give out their details. A good caller will get nearly 100% of calls email details. Hope this helps to work out your cost per lead. 

A. Thanks for your purchase, you should find that this is the correct list. You may have just seen that at the very top of the list. Please scroll down and you will see all of the schools as well. We have included Suppliers and some related industries as these can be of benefit to other suppliers to schools.

A. It is sourced from public records like phone and web directories, so if the source of the data is up to date, so is ours. They people had their emails publicly displayed.
