Why Data Validation is crucial in Marketing

Modern B2B marketing is all about content and online lead generation. Marketing individuals want decision making people to come on their websites and provide the data that can be used for their business. But is important to make this exchange valuable and of significance. To pick out a potential lead from the abundance of data is important.

Marketers rely on an expensive process of online forms that will ask for job title, name, company name, email address, and telephone number. The process is expensive because it uses a lot of resources like marketing time, the budget spent on the funneling, etc. Hence, data capturing is one of the most important parts of your marketing strategy. Hence, it is important to not waste this investment in invalid data.

One of the best solutions to this problem is that you can validate the data right from the start. Bad, inaccurate and incomplete data leads to a slip in engagements and ultimately risks the customer turning to competitors.

1.      You should save sales time

Time is of utmost importance for salespeople and should be spent on ringing valid numbers not correcting them. Every minute salespeople stumble with wrong data, the competitors are attracting leads. InsideSales.com states that 35% to 50% of orders go to the company that makes the first contact. Hence, wrong phone numbers or email addresses can cost you dearly.

2.      Filtering wasted leads

It is very rare that your potential lead is converted into a sales prospect within the first few contacts. It on average takes 7-10 touches. Hence, instead of wasting time on sales wrong data, you should focus on potential leads and try to nurture them and convert them into sales.

3.      Fixing impaired attribution

Bad data like incorrectly spelled company name should be prevented.  Quality validation checks from the data validation team should prevent these simple errors so that no disruption occurs in the sales team. Redundant data, incomplete data, unauthenticated data, etc. must either be fixed or removed from the database altogether.
