Data Decay: What You Need to Know

12. @Sales20Conf • #s20c
Real Data Analysis Example
• We sampled 100 data points across 20 customer databases
totaling 2,000 direct dial phone numbers. Each case
showed different direct dial phone numbers than what was in
the ZoomInfo database.
• We called every direct dial phone number to see who had
the correct direct dial- the client or the ZoomInfo database
