    Detective. (Charlie Contacts Corp.)
    If you are in any type of sales, and meeting with people, it is a must. If you already know you contact well, it doesn't have as much value for that particular meeting. Also I wish there was a way to not sync internal meetings, as it just provides clutter, and I don't need info on those people.

    UpLead is well suited for environments where there is a lot of accurate contact information to research mainly generating sales for a business. On the other hand, businesses that don't require searching up a huge amount of contact data and that doesn't add up to the sales of a business do not need to use this software.

    Cons
    Detective. (Charlie Contacts Corp.)
    • At times it doesn't pull a social profile for the contact correctly, or at all, when I know the person has a profile.
    • The interface is a little clunky, and the font is too large. It could be a lot smaller and still effective.
    • It takes a lot of time to sync at points, which is frustrating.

    The tool is robust, it's powerful, it's accurate, and it's extremely helpful and pivotal in my current banking sales role. I could not succeed without UpLead's accurate data and contact information. I'm thankful that such an incredible service exists at such a fair and reasonable price, thank you for the value that you provide your customers and thank you for making me a very successful salesman and wealthier man

    Detective. (Charlie Contacts Corp.)
    The thing that Charlie does best is it aggregates everything in one place. It allows me to have a one-stop shop, that I can quickly review prior to heading into a meeting. People are usually amazed with the amount of info that Charlie can give you, and it almost always works its way into my sales call.

    UpLead costs a bit more, but I found the data on UpLead to be well worth it in comparison and it was easier to transfer to our CRM (HubSpot). I like how they also provide useful API integration into UpLead and I hope they begin to offer more automation in the future.

    Return on Investment
    Detective. (Charlie Contacts Corp.)
    • The info I pull from Charlie prior to the meeting is almost always brought up as a conversation starter.
    • Charlie helps my relationships go deeper than just surface level info.
    • The ability to go deeper in my relationships while using Charlie has absolutely closed me business.

    • I haven't been using UpLead long but I have generated interest in our company with several large accounts. Each one of them can add several million in revenue to our company.
    • A huge time saver is to be able to send out email blasts to potential clients I've downloaded from UpLead.
    • Securing any one of the prospects I'm working on through UpLead can easily pay for the investment 10 times over.
    • Most of the salespeople in our company are asking me where I'm getting my leads from.
