Why should you move from Apollo to ZELIQ?

Quality of Enrichment Data

ZELIQ not only enriches leads in our database but we'll also use a waterfall workflow to make sure your leads are enriched. ZELIQ employs a diverse range of providers, including Apollo, Datagma, Prospeo, and others, using a waterfall effect approach. This multi-faceted strategy results in a remarkable 47% success rate for finding mobile phone numbers.

Sequences

Setting up Apollo sequences requires an extensive set up process, making it a time-consuming and costly process. It involves multiple steps and coordination with different parties to launch an automated email sequence.

In contrast, with ZELIQ, setting up email sequences is streamlined into just a few simple steps that we walk you through. At the final step in ZELIQ, you can review and correct errors, ensuring that any inaccurate email addresses or phone numbers are flagged and the emails are not sent. Apollo, however, lacks this review feature for handling inaccurate email addresses or phone numbers.

Contact Database

ZELIQ has an extensive contact database of over 450 million potential leads, providing access to a broader audience and increasing the chances of finding high-quality leads, while Apollo’s database of only 273 million contacts is limited for businesses.

Conclusion : ZELIQ is the choice of companies that want to grow

Apollo.io is highly regarded for its advanced search filters and integrations enhance its appeal, it falls short in areas such as data enrichment accuracy and the complexity of its user interface.

In contrast, ZELIQ stands out with its exceptional data accuracy, sequence creation, and intuitive interface, making it a formidable competitor in the sales tools arena.

For sales teams looking for a holistic, user-friendly, and innovative sales solution, ZELIQ proves to be the superior choice in this comparison.

ZELIQ’s outstanding lead enrichment capabilities, precise and extensive data, efficient prospect management, and upcoming automation features empower sales professionals to streamline their workflows, build meaningful connections, and achieve remarkable results.
