What is B2B Prospect Data Acquisition?
B2B Prospect Data Acquisition is the process of building a targeted database of verified business contacts that match your ideal customer profile. Instead of purchasing a generic, off-the-shelf list, we source contacts from scratch based on your specific criteria — job title, seniority, industry, company size, geography and any other firmographic or technographic requirements.
The service is designed for companies that need accurate, up-to-date contact data for outbound email campaigns, sales outreach or account-based marketing programmes. Every record is individually verified for email validity before delivery, so you receive a clean, deduplicated list that is ready to load into your ESP or CRM.
Pricing is transparent and volume-based: US$1.00 per verified contact with a minimum project fee of US$3,000. There are no hidden costs, no subscription fees and no per-seat charges — you pay only for the verified contacts you receive.

How it works
Seven steps from kick-off to verified database delivery.
-
ICP Definition
We hold a discovery call to define your ideal customer profile — including job titles, seniority levels, industries, company size, geography and any additional targeting criteria. This becomes the blueprint for all prospect sourcing.
-
Prospect Sourcing
Our team sources contacts across verified B2B data sources, building an initial pool of prospects that match your ICP criteria. We prioritise accuracy and relevance over volume.
-
Email Discovery
For each sourced contact, we identify and validate business email addresses. This includes sourcing from public directories, corporate websites and verified data providers.
-
Verification
Every email address undergoes multi-step verification: syntax validation, domain MX record checks, SMTP-level mailbox verification and role-account detection. Contacts that fail any verification step are flagged for removal.
-
Deduplication
We remove duplicate records across the entire dataset to ensure each contact appears exactly once — preventing wasted sends and inflated list counts.
-
Database Preparation
The verified, deduplicated list is formatted into a standardised CSV with consistent columns — first name, last name, email, job title, company name, company size, industry and any additional captured fields.
-
Delivery
The final database is delivered as a downloadable CSV file, formatted for direct import into your ESP, CRM or outreach platform. We confirm delivery and walk through the file structure on a handover call.
What the client needs to provide
To get started, we need a few inputs from your team.
- Ideal Customer Profile definition — target job titles, seniority levels, industries, company sizes and geographies
- Suppression list — any existing contacts or domains you want excluded from the sourcing (existing customers, competitors, etc.)
- Target volume — the number of verified contacts you need, or a general range so we can scope the project accurately
- Any specific targeting requirements — technographic filters, company revenue ranges, specific company names or exclusions beyond the standard ICP
Quality control
Every contact record passes through a multi-step verification pipeline before it reaches your database. We do not simply aggregate data from a single source — we cross-reference, validate and verify at each stage to ensure the final list meets a high standard of accuracy.
Our verification methodology includes syntax validation to catch malformed addresses, domain-level MX record checks to confirm the domain can receive email, SMTP handshake verification to confirm the mailbox exists, and role-account detection to filter out generic addresses like info@ or sales@ that typically yield lower engagement.
Deduplication is performed across the entire dataset — not just within individual sourcing batches — so you receive a clean, unique list with no overlapping records. Any contacts that fail verification at any step are removed before delivery.
We do not publish arbitrary accuracy percentages. Instead, we stand behind the quality of our work by ensuring every record in the final database has passed our full verification pipeline and is ready for campaign use.

Frequently asked questions
How do you target the right prospects?
We build a prospect list based on your Ideal Customer Profile (ICP). Before any sourcing begins, we align on your target criteria — including job title, seniority, industry, company size, geography and any other firmographic or technographic filters. Every record sourced is matched against these criteria so the final list reflects your specific buyer profile.
Is there a minimum project size?
Yes. The minimum project fee is US$3,000, which covers up to 3,000 verified contacts at US$1.00 per contact. There is no upper limit — we can source larger volumes on a project basis with pricing confirmed during scoping.
How are contacts verified?
Every email address goes through a multi-step verification process. We use syntax validation, domain MX record checks, SMTP-level mailbox verification and role-account detection. Contacts that fail any step are removed before delivery. We also run deduplication to ensure you receive a clean, unique list.
What format is the final database delivered in?
The final database is delivered as a CSV file with standardised columns — including first name, last name, email, job title, company name, company size, industry and any additional fields captured during sourcing. The file is formatted for direct import into major ESPs and CRMs.
How long does a typical project take?
Most projects are completed within 5–10 business days depending on list size, ICP complexity and geography. Smaller lists with straightforward targeting are typically delivered faster. We confirm a delivery timeline during the scoping call.
Can this service feed into your campaign services?
Yes. The verified database can be loaded directly into our email campaign, deployment or outbound bundle services. Many clients pair data acquisition with our Outbound Campaign Launch bundle for a single-vendor workflow from data to deployment.
