Cognism, the GDPR-compliant B2B sales and marketing acceleration platform, is pleased to announce the addition of 20 million direct dials to its unique business dataset. The direct dials are focused in Europe and North America, broadening the geographical scope of Cognism’s B2B direct dial data coverage, which was previously focused on the United States of America.

Cognism’s data asset is now one of the broadest in the world and secures the company’s position as a leading provider of B2B people, company and event data. Cognism’s customers across Europe and North America will find that the addition of direct-dial phone numbers will speed up the prospecting process, as they enable outreach to verified cellphone numbers and desk extensions. This means that a caller will be able to contact a lead directly, instead of going through switchboards and gatekeepers. Furthermore, Cognism supports the uploading and syncing of direct dials to all leading CRMs.

Customers can be confident in the quality of Cognism’s direct dial data. Every direct dial in Cognism’s database is checked and cleaned against country blacklists to ensure the highest possible quality. For the first time ever, the company is also collecting unique dials from its own outreach traffic, meaning that Cognism’s database contains direct dials that aren’t captured anywhere else. This unique contact data is now available to Cognism’s client base with immediate effect.

Cognism CEO James Isilay said:

“Our high-quality contact data will deliver real results for our clients, helping them to accelerate their sales cycles and find new buyers, faster than the competition. We have been rigorously testing our direct dial data and I’m pleased to state that our connect rate in Europe is 80%. Our proprietary AI-powered technology is working behind the scenes to make sure our direct dials are the freshest in the B2B data market. I am delighted that Cognism is now able to add 20 million direct dials for Europe and North America to our platform.”

Cognism is proud to provide direct dial data for Europe and North America to its customers. Cognism’s direct dials are cleaned against the TPS and CTPS and are fully compliant with their requirements. The data is available now on the Cognism platform and in the Cognism Salesforce Application.
