In today's hyper-connected business world, having access to accurate phone numbers can be the difference between closing a deal and losing a prospect forever. While email inboxes are increasingly saturated and response rates plummet, phone outreach remains the most effective channel for B2B sales, with response rates 3-5x higher than email.
THE8.AI has assembled the world's largest phone number database with 847 million verified numbers, providing unprecedented access to direct mobile lines, executive cell phones, and hard-to-find contact numbers that simply don't exist in any other database.
The Phone Number Revolution
Why Phone Numbers Matter More Than Ever
Recent industry research reveals compelling statistics:
- Phone calls convert 10x better than digital touchpoints
- 92% of B2B sales interactions happen over the phone
- Direct mobile numbers achieve 67% higher connect rates than office lines
- C-suite executives answer personal mobile calls 3x more often than desk phones
Traditional contact databases focus heavily on email addresses, but the most successful sales professionals know that getting someone on the phone is where deals are really made.
