Having the correct name is essential to effectively communicating with a customer or lead. Name Validation performs a 40-step check to help your business weed out bogus and inaccurate names and prevents embarrassing personalization mistakes being sent to customers and prospects.
Your brand has a lot riding on getting your customer and prospects names right. Accurate names are key to effective personalization and also an important indicator of fraudulent and bogus web form submissions.
Name Validation verifies first and last names using a global database of more than 1.4 million first names and 2.75 million last names, correcting common mistakes and flagging garbage before it enters your database.
Our real-time name validation and verification service corrects and then tests against a proprietary database containing millions of consumer names to determine an overall quality score.
Your business can use this score to block or deny bogus submissions from entering your sales and marketing automation platforms.
First impressions are everything and getting your customer's name is a great start.
Name Validation detects whether the name is a business or person and associates gender to aid sales, call center and customer service staff to more effectively communicate with prospects and customers.
Our service corrects first and last names while identifying possible name variations and supports global personalization with accented characters often found in international names.
There is a high cost associated with bogus contacts in your CRM and business platforms.
Name Validation stops fraudulent leads at the point of entry by flagging vulgar, celebrity and garbage names. In addition, complex, compound names like "Mr. and Mrs. Jim and Susan Wilson II” are broken into individual elements for uniform name insertion.
