We set the standard for finding emails Trusted by over 9. We had no where to begin. Scouring the web at all hours of the night wasn't gonna cut it. RocketReach has given us a great place to start.

Our workflow has solid direction now - we have a process in place the begins with RocketReach and ends with huge contact lists for our sales team.. We can divert our attention to actually going after the customer now! Great for building a list of leads. I loved the ability to determine personal emails from virtually anyone on the web with RocketReach. I was assigned a project recently that regarded public relations, partnership, and outreach responsibilities and RocketReach not only connected me to prospective individuals but allowed me to streamline my search approach on the basis of location, skill set, and keyword.

Prior to RocketReach, we would reach out to people through professional networking sites like Linkedln. But it was frustrating for us to have to wait for people to accept our connection requests if they accepted them at all and sending is too expensive.. With the shear number of contacts we've been able to find using RocketReach, the platform has probably saved us nearly five years' worth of waiting. It's the best, most effective email search engine I've used yet, and I've tried a few.

Both in the scope of the searches, and in the number of accurate emails found, I find it surpasses others. I also like the layout, which is easy on the eye, more attractive and efficient.

The bottom line is that it has been a effective tool in my work, as a non-profit reaching out to leadership. Before RocketReach, the process of sourcing email addresses consisted of scouring the internet, asking mutual friends, or stalking on LinkedIn. The most frustrating part was how time consuming this all was.

And her remarks are based on her knowledge and observation of PM Meles. She is one of the highest ranking government officials of the richest and the most powerful nation in the world. She does not have to please anyone. She does not have to fly for 14 hours to attend a funeral, let alone deliver a eulogy for an African leader.

But her government and herself chose to attend the funeral and deliver a eulogy because they knew and understood Meles and admired his personality and contribution and wanted to let the world know him.

And by the way, all the leaders who attended the funeral and delivered and a eulogy equally admired PM Meles qualities and his contributions. Daniel Berhane: Here at home we are struggling to understand why some members of the diaspora opposition were busy demonstrating against memorial services held in Western cities for the late PM Meles Zenawi. Can you enlighten us? Every society has few people who do not necessarily operate within the boundaries of reality but act like they live in a different realm.

Some of these few protestors do not have a complete knowledge of our past history and mistaken understanding, mostly based on politically motivated hearsay and distant observation, of the current situation in Ethiopia. They believe that all current day Ethiopians lived in harmony and peace for millennia until EPRDF came and destroyed the unity and peaceful coexistence of Ethiopians.

And they held late PM Meles as the architect of this perceived destruction of Ethiopia. They tend to focus on anecdotal stories and minor but exaggerated wrongs or mistakes.

I believe this erroneously exaggerated view is what drives them. They do not realize that they do not hold a monopoly on truth. They refuse to believe the facts of our past history show a worse situation in Ethiopia and the current state of our country is much improved. Furthermore, they do not do due diligence to understand the many major contributions late PM Meles and his party have made to help protect and grow Ethiopia, and the millions of admirers both domestic and foreigners.

Ethiopians grieved when the embodiment of these fruitful policies and the iconic leader of the party that brought these benefits died. Unfortunately we are not blessed with smart and good opposition. That is all I can say. Daniel Berhane: Speaking of Meles, were you surprised by how the national mourning went? I was not surprised at all. When the rumors were rampant about his illness and wild speculations of his death, I have told people that if PM Meles were dead Ethiopians from North to South and from East to West would mobilize and grieve for days.

PM Meles and his party have transformed the lives of millions of people lives and our nation against great odds and at huge personal sacrifice.

It is just a matter of time even for all who passionately oppose them to give them due recognition. Many have done that already. PM Meles deserved to see all the recognition and glorification while he was alive. I think it is a good lesson for us Ethiopians to learn to recognize and reward people who are making positive contribution while they are still with us.

I think sometimes we Ethiopian have this sense of expectation of sacrifice from others, particularly political leaders, and we often fail to give them due recognition. I do not consider [the glorification of Meles] too much. We still glorify and sing songs of admiration to former warrior leaders who have been dead for over a hundred years. We are still singing songs for King Menelik who won the battle of Adwa but lost many territories of Ethiopia including Eritrea, Djibouti, and Ogaden.

I believe by all measures and standards, on balance, PM Meles has done a better job for Ethiopia and Ethiopians than the past many leaders combined. If PM Meles were alive, I am sure he would have refused all this attention and admiration, but I think he deserves the entire glorification. Daniel Berhane: Dr. Is it still functional? I am not sure if it were ever functional.

Are you an official? Why do you care? A diaspora is supposed to be an opposition, right? I am not an Ethiopian government official, nor do I operate in any official capacity. I am not a member of any political party. As you may know Ethiopian law prohibits foreign nationals, including those with Ethiopian origin, from voting and holding any elected position.

I believe there are some restrictions about non-Ethiopians from holding a government position as well. Having said that, it is my hope that someday, when situations permit, I would like to serve at some official capacity and serve my people and my country using the skills, experiences, and knowledge that I have accumulated while living and working in America for decades.

I care about my homeland and my people very much. I get involved and I pay many sacrifices because I do not want this new generation of Ethiopians to grow up like I did in Ethiopia and walk past dead bodies of their family members while going to school; because I like to see this generation of Ethiopians get ample opportunity to go to college in Ethiopia; because I like my people to have an opportunity to live in peace and not get drafted and get sent to war far away from their families; because I like to see my people manage to lead a good life for themselves in their own country.

I am very proud of our glorious history. In this modern times we Ethiopians have to internalize that differences need not be settled through violence. We need not fall victims of hate politics, it will eventually destroy us as people and will threaten the existence of a united Ethiopia. Daniel Berhane: A diaspora is supposed to be an opposition, right? An Ethiopian Diaspora is not supposed to be a member or sympathizer of an opposition. This is one of the biggest misconceptions many people have.

Even the Ethiopian government fails victim of this misconception.
