Need a phone number for a prospect? Just use their LinkedIn profile URL. Our Waterfall Phone Finder enrichment gets you the direct dials you need for sales, recruiting, or marketing.
The best part? You only pay when we find a number. No result, no cost. It’s the most efficient way to turn a LinkedIn profile into a direct conversation.
How the “Waterfall” System Finds More Numbers
Relying on a single data source is a gamble. One provider might have great data for one industry but fail completely in another. You miss out on valuable leads.
Our "waterfall" system solves this. It queries multiple data providers in sequence:
- We ask our first provider for the phone number.
- If it comes back empty, we automatically ask the second provider.
- This continues down our list of trusted partners until we find a match.
This layered approach maximizes your hit rate. By combining the strengths of several databases, you get the best possible coverage across all roles and regions. It’s how we find numbers other tools miss.
Pay-Per-Hit: The Smartest Way to Budget
Stop wasting money on failed lookups. Most data tools charge you for every attempt, whether they find anything or not.
We do things differently. You only pay for successful results.
If we don't find a phone number, you don't get charged. It's that simple. Your budget goes directly toward actionable data you can use immediately. This makes your lead management process both powerful and incredibly cost-effective.

FAQ
What is a "waterfall enrichment"?
It’s a method that queries multiple data providers one after another. If the first source has no data, it automatically tries the second, increasing the chance of a successful lookup.
Do I need my own data provider subscriptions?
No. Datablist handles everything. You get the power of multiple providers through one simple tool.
What if a phone number isn't found?
The phone number field for that prospect will remain blank, and you will not be charged for the attempt.
How accurate are the numbers?
We use a network of trusted providers known for high-quality, verified data. The waterfall system ensures we only return a result when we have a high degree of confidence.
