Skip Tracing: Searches vs. Matches - Are You Paying Too Much?
One simple thing may cause you to spend more on skip tracing than you need to!
The thing I am talking about is the difference between paying for skip trace searches or matches.
Knowing the difference between these two and finding the right skip trace companies can save you 30% off your skip tracing expense INSTANTLY!
Let’s dig into it!
Skip Trace Search:
A skip trace search is simply when a record is searched. It does not matter if a phone number comes back blank or not. When considering a company which charges per search you need to be aware of the match rate or hit rate (they are the same), this is where you lose money.
Skip Trace Hit:
A skip trace hit is when a record is searched and comes back with a phone number. A hit is the “successful” part of a skip trace. Some companies charge for only hits, which is a pay for what you receive model.
Why this matters:
If you are paying $0.20 PER SEARCH and there is a hit rate of 70% you are only getting 70% of the records back when you are paying for 100% of the record searches.
To put numbers to this, if you searched 1000 records for $0.20 a search you are paying $200. If the match rate is 70% you are only getting back 700 records will successful skip traced data and 300 are coming back with no data. So really you are paying $200 for 700 records with data. This amounts to a true skip trace cost of $0.29 per callable record.
If you are paying $0.20 PER HIT and there is a hit rate of 70%, you are getting 70% of the records back and you are only paying for the 70% which come back with skip traced data. This means for the same 1000 example above, 1000 records for $0.20 a hit and a hit rate of 70%, you are paying $140 for the whole list which comes back with 700 records with skip traced data. When you are paying PER HIT, the true skip trace cost is $0.20 per callable record.
