Guides
Every guide on Databender, in reading order.
Duplicates and stale records in an owner list
The guides on owners entered twice and on phones and addresses that stop reaching anyone, with the worksheet that comes before both.
- How to find duplicate records without losing their history
How matching passes and a person's review find duplicate owners, and how a merge keeps every original record so it can be undone.
- How fast owner records go stale
How a dated sample from each age group measures how fast one owner list's phones and addresses stop reaching owners.
Skip tracing and appended contact data
The guide on judging skip trace providers by the contacts that reached an owner, and the record each appended phone and address keeps.
- Skip tracing measured by cost per usable contact
Why a skip trace match rate overstates what a list gets, and how providers compare on the contacts that reached an owner.
