Source Scrub: User Friendly, Wealth of Information **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Michelle K. | Chief Deal Officer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Current User:** The reviewer uploaded a screenshot or submitted the review in-app verifying them as current user. **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through a business email account **Incentivized:** This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Source: Seller invite:** Invitation from a seller or affiliate. This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Reviewed Date:** September 13, 2023 **What do you like best about Sourcescrub?** I appreciate the tagging/list saving and boolean search terms. Being able to search for companies based on employee size, location, etc. are great at narrowing down quality prospects. Also, checking trade show lists gives me more prospects to consider when I don't have the right search terms off hand. **What do you dislike about Sourcescrub?** There are still some issues with emails bouncing. Bounce rates can be as high as 15%. SS does make it easy to get these fixed, but the issue remains that you have to revisit the same prospects a second time, which can be tedious. **What problems is Sourcescrub solving and how is that benefiting you?** Source scrub makes sourcing deals a breeze. 1) searching using the boolean search terms means I can exclude specific phrases, and include specific phrases. 2) ease of saving lists/tagging. I can return to the same search over and over again, and only see newly added companies. I can easily include/exclude companies I have tagged from this search so there is no duplication of efforts. 3) Ease of export & the wealth of information included in the export. I can use the export for linkedin URL's, contact info, business descriptions, ownership status & investment firms, and so forth. This export is then easily imported into my CRM (since there is no integration offered between my software choices). These efficiencies mean that I can reach out to more potential acquisition targets than before and keep my historical activities organized. ### 2.

We find leads to put in our pipeline for business development emails. We source about 500 top funnel leads each week. **What do you dislike about Sourcescrub?** The downside of SourceSrcrub is that some business flow through a search filter and are irrelevant.

It is very convenient to find quick information on a company's website (leadership contact info, previous funding, relevant news, etc.). **What do you dislike about Sourcescrub?** It would be nice if I could import a CSV of companies into SourceScrub to collect information.

The platform helps us identify, screen and target companies in my firm's sector areas. In addition providing contact info for 1-2-3 leaders at these private companies is critical in making our business development team effective and efficient in not only targeting but also in contacting companies. Moreover, SourceScrub gives us an automated way to update our internal CRM with data points on target companies such as when a company's employee base grows/shrinks, when the ownership may change, or when a company plans to attend an upcoming conference. Over the course of the year, SourceScrub likely saves me weeks of time that I can now spend on higher value activities such as actually talking to companies. When I think about dollars, weeks of a team member's salary compared to our investment in SourceScrub is an absolute no brainer. I'll end by saying that without SourceScrub my job would be less effective and so much harder. At my prior firm, where I was also a customer of SourceScrub, I actually got into a fight with my boss over it. After showing him the value of it in dollars and cents, he conceded and gave me the budget to purchase SourceScrub. After joining my current firm 3 years ago, I made clear in the interview process that on day 1 we needed to become a SourceScrub customer, that was a must for me to do my job well. Fortunately, the firm I'm at now saw the value in the platform right right away and we purchased SourceScrub in my first week of employment at my firm. If sourcing companies is a part of your firm, which it should be for all firms, then SourceScrub is a necessary tool that your firm needs to have. I've not been a SourceScrub customer across two firms over 4 years, and I will be for the remainder of my career. **What do you dislike about Sourcescrub?** SourceScrub is continually updating and improving their product and offering. Is everything perfect now, no, but no platform is a silver-bullet. But for this purpose, it's the best I've experienced and my peers agree with me. It shouldn't be compared to a pitchbook or capIQ or zoominfo, those are all valuable, but they are completely different solutions and provide different areas of value. **Recommendations to others considering Sourcescrub:** You need to evaluate SourceScrub with the lens of time. How much time will it save you? How much more effective will it make you and your team **What problems is Sourcescrub solving and how is that benefiting you?** The ability to understand which companies are attending a specific conference we're exploring attending and which of those companies could be a target for our firm is an enormous time-saver. To give an example, I can take a conference with 500+ total exhibitors and find the specific # which fit within the size range, geography and ownership dynamics that my firm looks for. From there we can take the narrowed down # and shrink it even further after reviewing the companies' descriptions to get to a smaller # of companies that we actually feel are worth reaching out to in advance of a conference. Once conference I reviewed yesterday for example had 450 exhibitors, and in 2 minutes I narrowed it down to 67 that were worth me reviewing. After reviewing the 67, I tagged 36 companies that were interesting to my firm in 20-30 minutes. This process without the SourceScrub platform would require me to click on 450 websites, research all rather than 67. Before I had sourcescrub, planning for a conference and determing the companies we want to spend time on took half a day if not more. With SourceScrub, that 5+ hours of work is now roughly 30 minutes. ### 24.

There are no areas of the product that caused us any problems. **What problems is Sourcescrub solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are using the product to look for potential acquisitions to scale our core business. It's really hard to find these companies using other tools, as there are very specific types of businesses that we would be interested in speaking with.
