Which team fits which

Start with the job your team needs to complete each week. Write down the records you need, the people who will use them and the destination for the finished list. Use the same requirements during each demonstration so that your comparison reflects your own buying process.

• Team size: Count daily users, occasional users and administrators. Ask how adding people affects the total bill and access permissions. Include the person responsible for maintaining the tool after the initial evaluation.
• Channels and data fields: Decide whether you need email addresses, company information or data delivered through an API. Build a small test list using your ideal customer profile, including the roles, company sizes and locations you actually target.
• Contract terms and spending: Compare the payment schedule, credit allocation, purchase minimums and renewal terms. Ask for a written estimate using your expected usage. Keep seat charges and data consumption separate in your budget worksheet.
• Reporting: Ask how you can review searches, exports and credit consumption. Choose a reporting routine that your sales and operations teams can maintain. During a trial, record how much work it takes to answer a basic usage question.
• Lead handover: Walk through how a contact reaches the next person or system. Check required fields, duplicate controls and responsibility for follow-up. Map the process before planning your follow-up sequences.
