Wholesaling, cold calling and skip tracing

Is anybody using skip trace software?

I've been using Intelius but I notice that the numbers there are usually old phone numbers and haven't been able to reach many like that.  Is anyone else using it?  what's your experience with the software?  or is anyone using any other company to get better data.

I would appreciate the feedback

thanks,

@Rick Carr Your cheaper tools will have poor data because they are getting used, and often outdated, data from the credit companies. Intelius is one of those reseller companies. Other companies in the same category are White Pages, Spokeo, and Been Verified. There are other, but those are the main ones I've seen used often. If you plan on keeping skip tracing and cold calling as a strategy in your business model, I highly suggest getting an account from better source, like TLO. The phone numbers are mostly good and I have roughly a 85-95% hit rate when I skip trace my lists. Each of my lists are about 1k leads so only about 40 of those will be bad numbers, which is a good hit rate.
