Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Databowl is a well-established B2B lead management platform with verifiable traction, significant revenue, and a team of ~125 employees. While the project itself demonstrates high real-world utility and strong market presence (clients like Tesla and HelloFresh), the submission form was filled out poorly with exaggerated ('most people have used my product') and vague ('everyone') claims. The score reflects the strong underlying business fundamentals, penalized slightly for the low-quality submission data.

Description
Not all leads are created equal. Here’s another way to look at it. A lead isn’t a piece of data, it’s a person, and on average a third of leads are people with absolutely no interest in your product. With traditional lead generation services, you don’t know that until you’ve wasted time and money trying to sell them something they’re never going to buy. We approach this at a human level, not a data level. With Databowl, you get all the tools and support to ensure that only the very best leads - the ones that are ready to buy something - arrive at your door. You will begin building connections and relationships with real people. This means our validation software rejects hundreds of millions of unsuitable leads for our users. We reckon we’ve saved our clients a cool £75 million. That’s a lot of money, but we put transparency and trust first. But it’s not all bad news. We’ve also processed over a billion high quality leads globally for consumer facing brands. When you choose Databowl, you’ll see things change pretty quickly. Invalid leads? You’ll stop seeing those instantly. Unqualified or unsuitable leads will be a thing of the past. You’ll only see leads that want to buy something. Delays in following up. That’s going to stop too. Everything happens in real time. We’ll take you from where you are now, to an accurate data orchestration process that will give you the peace of mind that you’re getting leads that are more likely to buy something, and nothing is getting lost in the process. You may still lie awake at night, but it won’t be because of sales. We help consumer facing brands generate high quality leads, so they can make more sales. Book a quick demo of our software by visiting our site and we’ll show you exactly how to make lead generation your competitive edge. We’ve done it for Scottish Power, Tesla, HelloFresh and Qatar Airways and we’re ready to do it for you.
