I use Hunter every single day. If you want to be more successful, you should too.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I've been using Hunter Starter Plan for email verification, finding and saving new leads, cold email marketing campaigns for ~9 months. Their training, support, newsletters and YouTube channel are very helpful in learning how to use the full power of their services.

I completely recommend their free service, but their Starter Plan is what I'm currently using and enjoy.

  • Don't have any

Hunter - Quickly and easily hunt down contact email addresses.

Pros

  • Provides email domains very well. While some companies have a different domain for their "info@xyz.com", Hunter is able to find the domain that is being used by individuals at the company.
  • For American contacts in particular it is very good at finding personal phone numbers.
  • Helps to enrich the contacts that might be in a company by providing a confirmed list of employees.
  • As an extra - I really like how easy it is to use. You can input the contacts name and copy-paste from the chrome extension quickly and easily. This saves a load of time when you are trying to find the right address.

Cons

  • Recently I have found the Hunter chrome extension to be a little "buggy". For example I sometimes have to open Hunter in a new tab in order to input a contacts name. This is a recent bug though and something I have never had trouble with in the past.
  • While it is great for finding contacts when all the email formats are the same, it doesn't give options to try additional email formats in their search bar. This is a little frustrating as the tool itself shows the different formats listed in the drop down of suggested contacts.
  • Information isn't always up to date. I'm not sure how they pull their contact information so I don't have a suggestion on how to improve this currently.

Return on Investment

  • (Difficult to quantify precisely so this is more of a feeling). Considerably reduces the time taken to find email information for contacts, saving SDRs time and allowing them to be more active with their outreach.
  • Provides extra contacts for SDRs to reach out too, helping to quickly enrich accounts.
  • US phone information is often correct too, providing an additional avenue of outreach for the team.
