DataSalad: Fresh B2B Marketing Data

We (Aaron Ross, founder of PebbleStorm, CEOFlow and the writer of the sales blog Build A Sales Machine, and Brian Mackley, founder of Deep World Wide Web) created DataSalad because we were sick of all the junky lists and data sources out there.  Enough with the fast food – we want organic data!  DataSalad creates databases of contacts and companies through primary data-gathering and research, and guarantees them.  We build quality lists, not quantity lists, that deliver more bang for your buck.

Imitators aren’t the original DataSalad
Companies in India or other places can copy our site and say on it that they have technology that can actually provide fresh data…but there is only one original DataSalad.

Where the lists and data come from
The lists are generated through integration/crawling of 36+ different sources of online information and databases, such as job boards and discussion groups.  The data is constantly being cleaned, refreshed, renewed.  Different means are used to verify the integrity of both the algorithms and data.

Guarantee
Of course no data service can be perfect – typically the contacts are 80-85% percent accurate. However, we offer a 100% guarantee with all contacts and replace any bounced emails within 30 days.  We either correct the email of add a new contact and email.
