The Anatomy of a Verified B2B Contact: RI Digital Research’s 5-Step QA Process

Team RI Digital • Published: July 25, 2025

Get a behind-the-scenes look at RI Digital Research's 5-step QA process for delivering verified B2B contacts you can trust.

Every marketer knows the pain of chasing down bad leads. Whether it’s a bounced email, an incorrect job title, or worse—a completely irrelevant contact—dirty data can derail a campaign fast. In fact, according to Experian, 27% of businesses believe that inaccurate data is undermining their ability to provide excellent customer experiences. That’s why getting verified B2B contacts isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s the backbone of modern B2B growth.

At RI Digital Research, we don’t just hand over a list—we deliver verified B2B contacts that go through a meticulous 5-step quality assurance process. Here’s a transparent look at how we make sure every lead we deliver meets the highest standard of accuracy, relevance, and utility.

Step 1: Sourcing from Reputable, Human-Vetted Channels

It starts with smart sourcing. We don’t scrape the web or rely on shady data warehouses. Our research team sources contacts from reputable databases, direct event engagement, and human-vetted directories. We prioritize quality over quantity, tapping into sources that give us firmographic and technographic insight into prospects—ensuring that every contact fits the exact audience criteria you’re targeting.

Step 2: Multi-Point Validation of Contact Information

Once sourced, each contact goes through a multi-point validation process. We cross-check email addresses, phone numbers, job titles, and company affiliations using both automated tools (like ZeroBounce and Hunter.io) and manual verification by our in-house team. This hybrid approach significantly reduces bounce rates and ensures higher campaign deliverability.

Step 3: Role Relevance and Intent Verification

A verified B2B contact isn’t just about a working email—it’s about context. Is this the right person for your solution? Are they in a decision-making role? We go beyond surface data to validate role relevance and capture intent signals through behavioral data like event attendance, content downloads, and job activity. This step filters out passive or mismatched contacts, so your outreach lands where it matters.

Step 4: Data Enrichment for Deeper Insights

Next, we enrich each verified B2B contact with up-to-date firmographics, LinkedIn profiles, and relevant CRM tags. This gives your sales and marketing teams the intelligence they need to personalize messages and prioritize follow-ups. Data enrichment isn’t fluff—it’s fuel for smarter, faster conversions.

Step 5: Final Manual Review & Compliance Check

Before any contact hits your CRM, it’s reviewed by our QA leads for completeness, formatting, and GDPR/CCPA compliance. This final layer of scrutiny ensures that what you get is not only actionable but also ethically sourced and aligned with global privacy standards.
