The web remains the major source of business leads that are available for free. Unlike old databases, online web directories like Yellow Pages, White Pages, Super Pages; association websites; membership directories; MLS listings, etc. provide fresh leads that can be immediately leveraged upon by sales/marketing professionals.
The question now is, how to quickly and accurately transfer those leads into the database? As a busy sales/marketing professional, you cannot afford to spend most of your productive hours in manually entering the contact details. This is where a web scraping software like ListGrabber can be handy.
With ListGrabber, you can automate lead capture process and save more than 50% of your time. You can quickly and easily scrape contacts from the web page and transfer them to Excel, Outlook, ACT, CRM applications, etc. in just a single click. You can transfer multiple contacts from multiple pages without any manual intervention. More importantly, you can maintain an error-free database as ListGrabber eliminates typos.
