SMC achieves 88% phone connection rate and 7x lower bounce rate with Amplemarket
SMC tested scores of sales enablement and AI tools for their clients but found that existing tools delivered poor data quality, and alternative tools like Apollo.io suffered from problematic email bounce rates.
How it works
Common implementation structure
How this type of workflow is generally built, generalized across documented cases — not tied to any one vendor's stack. Click any stage to read what happens there. Specific products that implement these stages appear in “Tools commonly seen” below.
Stage 1 · Test campaign launch
SMC ran a test email campaign targeting 50 leads through Amplemarket to compare data quality against other platforms.
Tools used
Amplemarket
Outcome
Testing Amplemarket produced an 88% phone connection rate, a 7x lower bounce rate, and 3x higher productivity compared to other platforms.
What failed first
Apollo.io's email data was associated with high bounce rates, and workarounds such as combining it with a separate email validation tool were neither efficient nor cost-effective.
