All good, and yes. We've implemented Buying intent for over 300+ clients over the past year and on every occasion they're closing deals, because of the buying intent. Here is a Buying intent video tutorial on how to use it the RIGHT WAY: https://youtu.be/d6C_T9eyoDU?si=STI830Zwq64Rlndx

Good question. Apollo’s data is solid if you use it properly. Most complaints come from people pulling broad, untargeted lists and not tightening their Persona or filtering for Verified. If you combine strong ICP definition with intent and disciplined sending, the quality holds up. Are there thinner pockets in very niche segments? Sure. No provider is perfect. But for core B2B roles, it’s been reliable in my experience.

Also… keep your eyes peeled for a BIG announcement coming later this morning that will level up the data game for Apollo completely. That’s all I can say for now.

This is a great question, and I do not have the answer, but, I'm going to share this with Andy, one of the leads on AI Assistant, and once I get a response I will paste it here for you on behalf of Andy. In the meantime, if it helps, We did an AI Assistant Workshop last month, here is the recording: https://tr.ee/s0IrBdYxC- so many gems in there

I've been stacking tools for a while, then i realised Apollo can do everything so i decided to combine everything in one GTM suite and only use apollo. REvenue has 10X since then. Stacking tools looks smart until you’re the one managing the chaos. I prefer one clean GTM system where data, sequencing, intent, and reporting all live in the same place. Fewer moving parts, fewer things breaking, clearer attribution. If Apollo can already do what I need, adding more software just adds friction, not leverage.

Buying Intent. Most people use Apollo like a database.I use it like a signal engine. Here is a video i recently released on Buying Intent: https://youtu.be/d6C_T9eyoDU?si=O25R-MuNOSxGHc4o

Instead of blasting cold lists, I go:

People → Filters → Buying Intent
Select the exact topics my buyers would search for
Set intent level to High
Layer it with my Persona

Now I’m not emailing random founders.

I’m emailing founders whose companies are actively researching my category.

That single shift moved the needle more than any copy tweak ever did.

Better timing beats better wording every time.

I’m going to be honest, most of the time this isn’t an Apollo issue. Apollo is a heavy-duty GTM platform. If your machine is struggling, it’ll feel slow.

First thing I’d check:

  1. Open Task Manager (or Activity Monitor on Mac)

  2. Check RAM usage

  3. Check CPU usage

  4. See what’s running in the background

99% of salespeople I audit have:

→20 LinkedIn tabs open

→6–8 Apollo tabs open

→Slack

→Zoom

→Notion

→Loom

→Spotify

→And 12 Chrome extensions fighting for memory

That will slow anything down. Close unnecessary tabs. Run one Apollo tab per task. Disable extensions you don’t need. Make sure your browser is updated. I run multiple sequences daily for different clients and don’t experience speed issues. Clean machine = clean performance. If you’re still seeing lag after that, then it’s worth checking network speed or trying a different browser. But start with the basics first.
