Myth: “Any contact database will do.”
Fact: Leasing depends on a narrow set of people: the ones who approve new locations. General business databases weren't built to identify them. Dan AI was.
Myth: “Local tenants can't be found.”
Fact: Independent owner-operators are hard to find in big databases, but they fill a huge share of retail space. Dan AI finds verified decision makers at local tenants as well as national chains and international brands.
Myth: “International brands only talk through brokers overseas.”
Fact: Brands expanding into the U.S. have people responsible for that growth. Dan AI provides verified contacts for decision makers at international brands.
Myth: “More contacts means better data.”
Fact: Volume without verification creates bounces and wasted outreach. Dan AI's contacts are verified and screened.
Myth: “Credits keep costs under control.”
Fact: Credits keep prospecting under control, which is the opposite of what you want. Dan AI's contact searches are uncapped.
Myth: “Finding the contact is the hard part.”
Fact: Knowing which tenants to find is just as hard. Dan AI's property-tenant matchmaking engine tells you which tenants fit before you search. Foot Traffic Data gives you a reason to call, and a native e-mail blast sends the message.
The top contact finder doesn't just find people. It finds the right people at the right tenants and gets your message to them.
