B2B data cleaning
Your CRM is full of companies that no longer exist.
Dead records flagged, live ones scored, duplicates merged, names written the way a human would write them. If your team is chasing leads, they should not be chasing ghosts from 2019.
Before and after
A person reads every company name
Automation can strip a “Limited” and fix capitalisation. It cannot tell you that nobody at Bolt Recruitment has ever introduced themselves as “Bolt Recruitment, Solving All Your Recruitment Needs”. That takes a person, and it takes about a second.
What I don’t promise
Perfect data does not exist
I will not tell you I can make your data perfect. Nobody can. Contact details go stale, businesses close, and people move on.
What I can do is make sure you are not wasting your team’s time on companies that clearly are not worth pursuing, and that the best prospects are right at the top of the list when they start their day.
I will also work closely with you early on, so you are happy with how it is looking before I carry on with the whole dataset.
FAQs
Questions people ask
What format does my data need to be in?
A spreadsheet is fine, Excel or CSV. If it is in a CRM, a simple export will do. I will work with what you have got.
How long does it take?
Probably a few days. Larger datasets may take a little longer and I will give you a clear timeline upfront.
Do you add new contacts or just clean existing ones?
Primarily the latter. This service is about making the most of what you already have. If you need new prospect data sourced from scratch, get in touch and we can talk about that separately.
Is there a minimum dataset size?
No hard minimum, but it makes most sense for lists of 5,000 records or more. Smaller than that and it is probably not worth paying me to do it for you.
How much does it cost?
It varies based on the size and complexity of your data. The best starting point is a free sample, so send me a few hundred rows and I will give you a clear quote with no obligation.

How it works
Send a sample of a few hundred rows. I will clean it, send it back and tell you what the full job would cost. If the data turns out to be fine, I will say so.
