For IT, cloud and ERP sales teams in Europe

IT managers don't pick up. Wrong numbers are why.

Your reps call IT managers, architects and heads of infrastructure at large companies. In our own call data, they are the hardest people in B2B to reach by phone. Many numbers on your list are dead, old, or ring a switchboard. Answrd checks every mobile before your team dials it.

The problem

Manager level, large company: the worst pickup in B2B

Founders of small companies answer their phone. IT managers at large ones don't. They sit behind switchboards, change roles, and get called by every software and cloud vendor in Europe.

Your data provider gives you a number anyway. Often it's the head office line. Sometimes it's someone who left. Sometimes it's a private phone.

Your reps can't tell which is which until they dial. So they dial all day and talk to almost nobody.

"Numbers are either wrong or I get the headquarter's number from America even though I can find a number to the office in Europe."

Same 1,000 calls. Three times the revenue.

Two SDRs each make 1,000 calls. Same list, same pitch, same skills. Every conversion rate below is the same for both. The only difference is the pickup rate.

Case study

Engineering services: from 6% to 17% pickup

An engineering services team was calling IT and engineering leaders at large European companies. Pickup sat at 6%. They checked every mobile with Answrd before dialing, and pickup went to 17%.

Same market. Same reps. Same people.

How it works

Keep your data provider. Check what it gives you.

1

Upload your numbers

A CSV export from whatever data provider you already use.

2

We check every one

Dead numbers come out. Wrong people get flagged. Personal mobiles get flagged.

3

Your reps call the ones that answer

The right person, on a line they actually pick up.

Where Answrd fits: numbers from your data provider go through Answrd verification, then into your dialer or CRM. Before, 1 in 20 calls picks up. After, 3 in 20.

Answrd is not a dialer and doesn't sell data. It works on the numbers you already have.

Questions IT and ERP sales teams ask

We already pay for a data provider. Why add Answrd?

Your provider finds numbers. It doesn't tell you which ones reach the right person. Every provider has gaps, and adding a second one mostly finds the same numbers again. Answrd works on top of the one you have.

We sell to large enterprises. Does it still work?

That's where it matters most. Managers at large companies are the hardest people to reach by phone, so every wrong number costs more.

We sell through partners and resellers. Is that different?

No. Whether you call end customers or the partners who sell to them, the numbers come from the same providers and fail the same way.

What happens to personal mobiles?

We flag them. We don't block them. Your team decides whether to call, email first, or look for a work number.

How fast do I get results?

A few days for the free test.

Will it work for my country?

If you target Europe, it will work for you.
