Question 1

What is a prospecting file?

Accepted Answer

A prospecting file is a structured database containing targeted business contact information: professional emails, phone numbers, and postal addresses. It is used for B2B sales outreach, email marketing campaigns, and qualified lead generation. On SphereScout, each prospecting file is organized by industry and geographic location.

Question 2

How do I build an effective prospecting list?

Accepted Answer

To build an effective prospecting list, you need to define your target (industry, geographic area, company size), collect verified data, and organize it in a usable format (CSV, Excel). Rather than building a file manually, SphereScout lets you filter by category and location, then export a ready-to-use prospecting file in just a few clicks.

Question 3

Can I get a free business email list?

Accepted Answer

Free business email list sources exist (public directories, social media, etc.) but they come with significant limitations: outdated data, unverified emails, and unstructured formats. SphereScout offers a free sample to test data quality before purchasing. For France, emails are pre-verified via MillionVerifier, and all files are structured and ready for export.

Question 4

What is the difference between a prospecting file and an email list?

Accepted Answer

A prospecting file contains all business contact information (emails, phones, addresses) for a complete multi-channel outreach approach. An email list focuses solely on email addresses for email marketing campaigns. SphereScout provides both types of data in every file, allowing you to prospect via email, phone, or direct mail.

Question 5

How much does a B2B contact database cost?

Accepted Answer

The price of a B2B contact database varies based on the number of contacts, industry, and geographic area. On SphereScout, pricing is shown instantly: select your industry and location to get an immediate quote. A free sample is available to evaluate quality before purchasing.

Question 6

Should I buy or rent an email list?

Accepted Answer

Renting an email list gives you temporary access to data for a single send, with no option to reuse it. Buying gives you full ownership of the file: you can use it as many times as needed, import it into your CRM, and combine it with your own data. On SphereScout, purchased data remains usable even without an active subscription — it's yours to keep.

Question 7

Are your prospecting files GDPR compliant?

Accepted Answer

Yes, SphereScout prospecting files contain exclusively professional B2B data from publicly accessible sources. B2B prospecting is regulated by GDPR but is permitted on the basis of legitimate interest, provided you use professional data from public sources and respect the right to object. All our data is collected in compliance with these regulations.

Question 8

How do I verify and clean an email list?

Accepted Answer

To verify an email list, you need to check the validity of each address (syntax, domain existence, active mailbox) and remove duplicates, outdated addresses, and hard bounces. Regular cleaning improves your deliverability rate and protects your sender reputation. For France, SphereScout files are pre-verified via MillionVerifier to save you this step.
