What You Get in Each IBLead Export

When you export a list of associations, you get much more than just an email.

Data	Details
Email	Enriched from the association's website
Phone	Direct contact number
Full Address	Street, postal code, city
Website	URL of the Google My Business listing
Categories	Official domains (sports, culture, health, etc.)
Google Rating	Average of reviews (useful for identifying active associations)
Number of Reviews	Indicator of engagement and credibility
Google Reviews (full text)	Text, rating, date, author — exclusive to IBLead
Website Technologies	WordPress, Mailchimp, HubSpot, etc. — exclusive to IBLead
Social Media	Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter
Hours	Days and hours of operation

Google Listing Claimed	Yes/No — indication of active management

Concrete example: you export the 250 sports associations in Rhône. For each, you get the name of the manager (via the website), their email, phone, Google rating (3.8/5 = well-managed association), and the last 5 reviews (to personalize your approach).

Concrete Use Cases: How to Use Your List

Case 1: Cold Email B2B for Event Agencies

Situation: You offer event services (venue rental, conference organization, catering).

Target: Cultural and sports associations that organize events.

Process with IBLead: 1. Export 300 cultural associations from your region (Google rating 3.5+) 2. Segment by domain: music, theater, dance, heritage 3. Personalize your email by mentioning a detail from their last event (via Google Maps or their website)

Email Example:

Subject: Organizing Your Next Gala — Venue in Toulouse

Hello [Name],

I see that the association [Name] organized a concert in June (very well rated on Google Maps). We offer event venues in Toulouse with catering and sound equipment included.

Available for a call this week?

[Your signature]

Expected Result: 8-12% response rate (active associations = receptive).

Case 2: Prospecting for Service Providers

Situation: You sell cleaning, IT maintenance, or training services.

Target: Humanitarian associations, sports clubs, neighborhood associations (that have premises to manage).

Process with IBLead: 1. Filter by location (e.g., Seine-Saint-Denis) 2. Filter by "claimed listing = Yes" (active manager) 3. Export associations with phone and email 4. Call first (more effective than cold email for associations)

Phone Pitch Example:

"Hello [Name], I am [You] from [Your Company]. I see that you manage [Association Name] at [Address]. We offer eco-friendly cleaning for associations. Do you have 5 minutes to discuss?"

Expected Result: 15-20% appointment rate (associations often have a maintenance budget).

Case 3: Market Research and Partnerships

Situation: You are launching a product or service aimed at associations (management software, crowdfunding platform, etc.).

Target: Innovative associations (detected by technologies used, positive reviews, recent activity).

Process with IBLead: 1. Export 500 associations with filters: rating 4+, 30+ reviews, detected technologies (HubSpot, Mailchimp) 2. Analyze Google reviews to understand their pain points ("lack of organization", "difficult communication") 3. Contact the top 50 for user interviews

LinkedIn Message Example:

"Hi [Name], I see that you have been managing [Association Name] for 3 years with 4.6 stars. I am preparing a tool to simplify association management. Interested in discussing for 20 minutes?"

Expected Result: 5-8 user interviews to validate your product.

Comparison: IBLead vs Traditional List Purchase

Buying a list of associations from a broker is expensive and the data ages quickly.

Criterion	IBLead	Purchased List from Broker
Cost for 1,000 Contacts	€3.50 (Starter plan)	€150-300
Data Update	Monthly	Annually or semi-annually
Verified Emails	Yes (enriched from the website)	Often outdated
Included Phones	Yes	Rarely
Google Rating and Reviews	Yes (exclusive)	No
Advanced Filtering	Yes (rating, reviews, technology, social media)	No (just location/sector)
Time to Receive	2 minutes	2-5 days
Engagement	Flexible (pay per credit)	Annual contract

Numeric Example: - Buying 5,000 association emails = €750-1,500 (broker) vs €44/month (IBLead Starter = 10,000 credits) - After 6 months: €4,500 (broker) vs €210 (IBLead) - IBLead data is 20x fresher and filterable

FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Really Get Association Emails?

Yes. Each association has a Google My Business listing. IBLead scrapes public information: contact email, phone, website. Emails are enriched by cross-referencing data from the official website.

Example: Youth Solidarity Association in Lyon. Google Maps displays the phone number (04 72 XX XX XX). IBLead enriches with the email found on their site ([email protected]).

All emails are verified and tested. Invalid addresses are removed monthly.

Will Associations Receive My Emails?

Yes, if you comply with GDPR. Associations regularly receive communications (partners, suppliers, volunteers). Email is their main channel.

Important: You must have a right to communicate (legitimate interest for B2B prospecting, or prior consent). Cold emailing an association is legal if you offer a useful service.

Tip: Personalize your emails. Mention the association's domain (e.g., "I see you organize sports events"). This increases your response rate by 3x.

How Many Associations Are in the IBLead Database?

Over 1.5 million in France. The database also covers Belgium, Switzerland, Germany, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, and 7 other countries.

Monthly updates: new associations added, outdated contacts removed.

Can I Filter by Specific Domain (Sports, Culture, etc.)?

Yes, with 4,000+ Google Maps categories available. Examples:

• "Sports Association" → 180,000+ results in France
• "Cultural Association" → 120,000+ results
• "Football Club" → 45,000+ results
• "Humanitarian Association" → 95,000+ results
• "Parents' Association" → 15,000+ results

You can also combine: "Sports Association" + "Île-de-France" + "rating 4+" = 340 ultra-qualified results.

How Many Credits Do I Need to Export 1,000 Associations?

1 credit = 1 exported association. For 1,000 associations: 1,000 credits.

Available Plans: - Free: 200 credits (test) - Starter: 10,000 credits/month = €44 - Pro: 20,000 credits/month = €89 - Business: 40,000 credits/month = €179

If you export 500 associations/month, the Starter plan is sufficient. If you export 2,000/month, upgrade to Pro.

Can I Reuse My Exports for Another Campaign?

Yes, without limit. Once exported, the CSV file is yours. You can use it for: - Multiple email campaigns - Import into your CRM (HubSpot, Pipedrive, Salesforce) - Integration with a cold email tool (Lemlist, Instantly, Brevo) - Internal market analysis

No restrictions. One credit = one export, not one use.

How to Maximize Your Results with Your List

Segment Before Sending

Do not send the same message to 500 associations. Divide your list:

• Sports Associations → message about organizing events
• Cultural Associations → message about digital promotion
• Humanitarian Associations → message about volunteer management

IBLead allows you to filter by category before export. You get 5 homogeneous lists instead of one generic list.

Personalize with Google Reviews

Google reviews reveal the associations' pain points.

Example: Association "X" has 3.2/5 with a review "Lack of communication". You offer an internal communication solution. Personalized message:

"I saw that some members find communication difficult. We offer a tool to centralize information. Interested?"

Response Rate: 15-20% (vs 2-3% without personalization).

Test Call Times

IBLead provides the opening hours of associations. Call between 2 PM and 4 PM (when the manager is free). Avoid 12 PM-1 PM (lunch) and after 5:30 PM (closing).

Track Your Campaigns

Use a tracking tool (Lemlist, Instantly, Brevo) to measure: - Email open rates - Click rates - Response rates - Conversion rates (call/appointment)

Adjust your message based on the results.

GDPR Compliance and Best Practices

Consent and Legitimate Interest

For associations (B2B), email prospecting is based on legitimate interest: you offer a relevant service to an economic actor.

You do not need prior consent, but you must: 1. Offer a useful service (not spam) 2. Include an unsubscribe link in every email 3. Respect communication preferences

Mandatory Unsubscribe Link

Every email must contain: "Unsubscribe from this list". Clicking must automatically remove the contact.

Non-compliance = CNIL fine up to €50,000.

Data Security

Store your CSV file securely (not on a public hard drive). If you import it into a CRM, ensure the CRM is GDPR-compliant (HubSpot, Pipedrive, Salesforce are).

Right of Access and Deletion

An association can request: "What data do you have on me?" or "Delete my data". You must respond within 30 days.

IBLead provides public data (Google Maps). You are not responsible for their initial collection, but you are responsible for their use.
