How to choose an AI lead generation tool

  • Data quality. Test the contact database against your ideal customer profile before you commit.
  • Outreach included or not. Some tools only find leads, others also run email and LinkedIn sequences. Decide which you need.
  • Deliverability. If it sends email, check inbox warmup, sending limits and help with domain setup.
