Why Switch from Apollo.io?

1

Apollo finds leads but you still have to sell. DropClose sells for you.

2

Industry benchmarks put RVM callback rates at 4-8% — typically higher than cold email reply rates.

3

AI handles callbacks 24/7 within your plan's AI-call quota. No SDR headcount needed.

4

Thompson Sampling auto-optimizes your scripts. No manual A/B testing.

DropClose is perfect for:

Teams using Apollo for lead data but losing deals in the outreach-to-close gap.
