The platform is easy to use and provides a lot of good data for our sales team. We use it for target account research to get a better understanding (and contact details). Also, the Cognism team is always super friendly and approachable.

"Reliable sales prospecting tool with quality data"
What do you like best about Cognism?

Cognism has the most up-to-date database. With the built-in Bombora intent data, we have been able to level up our ICP criteria to include intent data. This enables us to prioritise high-intent accounts over others.

What do you dislike about Cognism?

I had to export 25 contacts each time if I didn't pay for bulk credit. I want to target accounts by department size, sadly, this is not available in Cognism yet.

What problems is Cognism solving and how is that benefiting you?

Enhanced Lead Generation - Cognism's advanced data enrichment and lead generation capabilities have enabled us to identify and target high-potential leads precisely. This has resulted in a substantial increase in conversion rates and revenue growth. Optimised Sales Processes: We have streamlined our sales processes by utilising Cognism's intent data, enabling sales teams to focus on the most promising opportunities.

"The data quality you need in your prospecting life"
What do you like best about Cognism?

Cognism Sales Navigator Extension is a formidable help whether you're building a list of prospects, you're working on a marketing campaign or you simply need to add new prospects into your existing sequence! Moreover,

What do you dislike about Cognism?

The process to flag bad data is not smooth. Although you can mark something as bad on the Sales Nav extension, it is very rare that I user discovers whether the data is good or not, so in the day-to-day workflow it requires a lot of effort from the user to flag it to the Cognism team and wait for the updated results.

What problems is Cognism solving and how is that benefiting you?

Cognism is quite helpful to find direct numbers and valid email addresses. Not only that, but gives you some peace of mind because the data is GDPR compliant. Moreover, it automates a lot of the processes in lead mining and lead import, which makes the workflow so much easier for a BDR/SDR.

"Good process flow and very few emails rejected"
What do you like best about Cognism?

The process flow is very easy. I create lists from saved filters that I can easily export to csv or to my CRM. I like that you can filter on verified emails

What do you dislike about Cognism?

Still some emails (about 10%) are incorrect. Also 25 contacts only makes creating lists a bit tedious, but manageable.

What problems is Cognism solving and how is that benefiting you?

Main thing is automation of lists, which saves me so much time. I'm able to export 300 new contacts daily in less than 30 min.
