EMMQuery B2B 12.17.1 Update is in Full Effect!

Our newest B2B data tool EMMQuery, has endured some major changes.

From our prior 11.17.2 full file update, 12.17.1 brings improvements to the overall direct dial population as well as major improvements to email delivery.

Although there was a 12 million record drop from group B due to a reclassification of a poor performing email validation response, we were still able to present large volumes of net new data in this update. That big drop didn’t stop us from making major improvements and changes!
