Workers' comp lead list calculator
For commercial insurance agents and agencies that work workers' compensation lists from x-date files, compiled business data, web quote forms and aged leads: estimate how much of a list is reachable, and what the dead numbers cost you on every campaign. Every rate is editable; nothing is stored.
Why workers' comp lead lists go bad
- An x-date list is worked around the policy renewal date, usually once a year, so a number has many months to change between one call and the next.
- Businesses close, move and switch phone systems, and the main number on an old record can stop working when they do.
- A compiled business list is built from data records, not from an owner typing in a number, so the phone on the row may never have been confirmed by the business.
- The number on a business record may reach a front desk or a phone menu, not the owner or the person who buys the policy.
- Web quote forms can carry a fake or mistyped number from someone who only wanted to see a price.
- A list can mix office landlines, VoIP phone systems and owners' cell phones, and a text send to a landline is paid for and never arrives.
How to get your real numbers
- Pull a random sample of 500 to 1,000 numbers from your workers' comp list.
- Validate it against live carrier data with TrueSearch for Business.
- Enter the dead, landline and VoIP percentages you get back above.
- Repeat per source (x-date, compiled business list, web quote, aged) to see which one holds the most bad numbers.

Are the default rates typical for workers' comp lead lists?
No. They are editable placeholders, not industry statistics. Bad-number rates depend on where the list came from and how old it is. Validate a sample of your own list and enter what you find.
Can I clean a workers' comp list from my list vendor, agency management system or CRM?
Yes, if it is a CSV or Excel file. Upload it to TrueSearch for Business and download it back with each number marked valid or dead, with its line type (mobile, landline, VoIP or toll-free) and carrier.
Should I remove landlines and VoIP numbers from a workers' comp list?
Not automatically. Many businesses answer on a landline or a VoIP office phone system, so those rows can be exactly the numbers you want for a phone call. Standard landlines cannot receive SMS, so they should come out of a text send. The line type column lets you split the list by channel instead of deleting rows.
Does validation tell me the number reaches the business owner?
No. A validation check covers the phone number itself: whether it is valid, its line type and its carrier. It does not confirm who answers it. A valid number can still reach a front desk, a phone menu or a different business.
Does a valid result mean I am allowed to call or text the business?
No. Validation checks the phone number, not consent or permission to contact. Calls and texts are covered by federal and state telemarketing rules, including the TCPA, and a number on a business list can be a personal cell phone. Confirm your program with counsel and your agency compliance team.
Does this check consent or Do Not Call lists?
No. The calculator only estimates reachability, and a validation check covers validity, line type and carrier. It does not verify consent or check a number against Do Not Call or litigator lists. Keep your own opt-out records and use the official National Do Not Call Registry (donotcall.gov) where it applies.
This guide is general information, not legal advice. TrueSearch for Business checks validity, line type and carrier from licensed telecom data. It does not check the National Do Not Call Registry, state DNC lists or the FCC Reassigned Numbers Database. Not a consumer reporting agency; not for FCRA purposes.
