Why Prioritize Contacts with Phone Numbers?

Connecting with prospects directly can significantly boost your outreach success. UpLead makes it easy to find contacts with verified phone numbers, ensuring you’re reaching real people. Focusing on mobile numbers often leads to the best results for these reasons:

  • Direct Line: Mobile numbers connect you directly to the individual, bypassing receptionists or assistants.

  • Up-to-Date Information: Contacts with mobile numbers are typically more current and accurate.

  • Personal Connection: Mobile communication is often perceived as more personal, potentially increasing engagement.


How to Filter for Contacts with Phone or Mobile Numbers on UpLead

UpLead lets you quickly filter contacts based on the presence of phone number data. Here’s how:

Step 1: Initiate a Contact Search

  1. Navigate to Contact Search in UpLead.

  2. Enter any initial search criteria you have (e.g., industry, job title, location).

Step 2: Use the "Display" Filter

This is where you choose to show contacts with phone number data.

  1. Click the Display button above your search results.

  2. Select Records w/ phone number present to only show contacts with a phone number.

  3. To narrow your search to only mobile numbers, select Records w/ mobile number present (Recommend for best results).

Step 3: Refine and Export

  1. Further refine your search by adding more filters as needed.

  2. Review your results and export your list.


Tips for Improving Connection Rates and Data Quality

  • Focus on Mobile: Mobile numbers are typically more accurate and provide a higher chance of direct connection.

  • Combine Filters: Use phone number presence filters in combination with other criteria (e.g., industry, job title, location) to narrow your search effectively.

  • Clean Data: Regularly clean and update your contact lists to remove outdated information.

  • Respect Boundaries: Be mindful of time zones and calling hours when reaching out to your prospects.
