Fix the list first.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Confusing enrichment with verification<\/strong>: enrichment adds channels; verification reduces bounces\/dead dials. You need both if you care about deliverability and recruiter time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Overwriting good data with new data<\/strong>: new is not automatically better. Store alternates and use verification + outcomes to decide what becomes primary.<\/li>\n<li><strong>No low-confidence routing<\/strong>: if uncertain matches write back into the ATS, you will poison the system of record and create compliance risk.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ignoring refresh<\/strong>: contact data decays. If you do not refresh, your campaign metrics will drift and you will blame messaging when it is really list rot.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Opt-out not centralized<\/strong>: if suppression lives in one tool but not another, you will re-contact people who asked you to stop.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_improve_results\"><\/span>How to improve results<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Improvement is measurement discipline plus routing discipline.
