1. Number of Contacts 

If the quantity of data is your only benchmark when deciding, ZoomInfo has Winmo beat. ZoomInfo boasts ~100M B2B professionals and ~15M companies.  

While a large database is valuable for certain use cases, it makes it difficult to maintain the integrity of the data. ZoomInfo utilizes patented technology to gather data. That information is then put through an automated system of checks and balances and third-party verification tools.

Unlike competitors, Winmo’s data is verified every 60 days by US-based researchers (not bots), ensuring clients have the most up-to-date information possible. With a more targeted data focus, it’s much easier to surface reliable and accurate data, with complete details like direct dials and email addresses.

In summary –  ZoomInfo might be the best option if you’re prioritizing contact quantity. But for those who value the quality of data for the advertising and media industry, Winmo provides a better ROI.

2. Proactive Prospecting

Knowing who to contact when prospecting is vitally important, and typically the first problem customers want to solve. But, knowing when and why to reach out to a company is just as important and can often make your pitch stand out from the rest.
