LeadGenius vs. ZoomInfo Marketing

LeadGenius is great for any company that has very specific, niche leads they need to generate (like we do). If you have a broader audience, I would recommend using a simpler, cheaper platform that simply scrapes LInkedIn for some keywords you've entered. For us, we need specific titles from specific types of companies (i.e. software companies that could use an email API).

ZoomInfo Marketing can be used to re-target companies already in your sales process or familiar with you (i.e., have been to your website or engaged with you in some way). You may not get a large number of conversions through a cold display campaign, but ZI Marketing is a great way to stay at the top of your buyers' minds and provide them with bottom-of-the-funnel content through advertising.

• LeadGenius has gone out of their way to help us find leads for fairly obscure markets. LeadGenius combines AI with personal vetting to find hundreds and thousands of leads for us that other automated lead gen platforms that simply scrape LinkedIn or the web cannot find.
• If you need any custom work done for you outside of the platform, LeadGenius is willing to help with that where other platforms are not (with other lead gen platforms, either you use the system as-is despite it's shortcomings, or not at all).

• The ease of campaign creation is amazing! I can get a campaign set up in just a few minutes.
• The reporting allows us to easily see the performance of our ads. There is no guesswork.
• I love being able to create audiences from ZoomInfo tools such as Websights, intent, workflows and lists. This allows us to target a very specific audience that we otherwise would not have access to.

• The platform loads a little slowly and has little quirks. If you create a ton of segments, it can be hard to organize them. If you archive old ones you can't view them anymore (but Leadgenius has access on the backend and can send your data to you).

Incentivized

• Does not fully integrate sales and marketing, so some work and translation is still required.
• this is a complicated tool, and requires a rather long time to train employees to use properly.
• no training included, and the price is a bit high
• Does not integrate the same across all internet browser programs

It just complements every effort that our sales and marketing team go through. We also use other zoom products, and this meshes so well with them. It has cut down the time we need for results in marketing and sales, as well as increasing the success rate of the actions we choose. We're seeing greater ROI on efforts since we started.

I think it's great for marketing and sales alignment and it gives great insights and data that we can translate over to our LinkedIn advertising, but I think the reporting limitations aren't great. The discrepancies don't provide full confidence in the numbers. But, as a tool to become more targeted based on websights and sales goals it's great!

They spend most of their time pontificating on rudimentary matters. They tried to blame their own mistakes and shortcomings on the client rather than themselves.

They never ended up uploading the custom intent topics until months after we submitted them. It was difficult to select the custom intent topics in the first place as well.

Growlabs used too many generic search parameters and had too many system bugs - but they're early and I'm confident their product will get stronger.

We have ZoomInfo Sales as well. We decided we needed to have both Sales and Marketing to marry them together. We are so happy we did! We really needed to have the entire package together. We are able to research our customers within sales and then we are able to serve them ads.

No, it was clear.

• LeadGenius has been one of the main sources of leads for us over the past 6 months. There's a longer lead nurture cycle (since they're cold, outbound leads as opposed to inbound), but they do convert to customers for us.

Incentivized

• We have found a lower CPC across our pages
• Tracking characteristics on types of businesses on our pages - also very close to our dream persona
• Build a weekly workflow internally between sales and marketing to use the incoming contacts and increasing number of qualified leads to hand off to sales
