Before research becomes sales-ready.
A practical verification standard for contact intelligence, account fit, triggers, evidence, conflicts and the final sales decision.
Publicly available does not automatically mean verified.
Published contact
Published by the person or company through a public source.
General route
A company-level contact route rather than a personal contact.
External source
Found through an external data source and treated accordingly.
Needs confirmation
Contact exists in research but requires confirmation.
Evidence supports status
Verification evidence supports the contact status.
What must be checked before a finding is ready for sales use?
A strong account record has a clear audit trail.
| Field | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Account | Identify the target company. |
| ICP Fit | Explain relevance. |
| Account Rationale | Explain why the account matters. |
| Trigger | Identify observable signals. |
| Decision-Maker / Role | Identify relevant stakeholder and buying influence. |
| Contact Source | Show where contact information came from. |
| Evidence / Confidence | Support findings and show research certainty. |
| Verification Date | Show when the information was checked. |
| Sales Context | Convert research into usable intelligence. |
Make the reasoning auditable.
Do not silently choose the convenient result.
Identify the conflict
Different titles, descriptions, employer associations, contact information or business activity.
Compare sources
Compare source quality and recency, then seek an independent source where appropriate.
Record the discrepancy
Document the conflict and mark the finding accordingly.
Research quality without unnecessary exposure.
Public business information
Research is designed around publicly available business/professional information and the reasoning that can be supported from it.
Not for public exposure
Private client identities without authorization, private personal details, private phone numbers, confidential screenshots, internal documents and sensitive account information should not be exposed.
More rows do not automatically mean better research.
A smaller set of well-researched accounts can be more useful when each record explains the reasoning behind the next sales decision. MRMProLeads focuses on account intelligence—not contact collection.
Before presenting a finding as confirmed:
Source
Is the source appropriate and is the information current?
Claim
Can the claim be supported, and is it fact or inference?
Conflict
Is there conflicting information that needs to be recorded?
Confidence
Is the confidence level appropriate for the evidence?
Sales Use
Can sales actually use the finding?
“Uncertainty should be visible, not hidden.”
The purpose is not to make every field look complete. It is to give sales teams information they can understand, evaluate, verify and use.
