Optimize Your Credit Usage by Preventing Duplicate Downloads
ListKit's exclusion feature ensures you never pay twice for the same lead. This essential tool prevents redundant spending while maintaining the freshness of your prospect lists.
Using the Exclude Option: Step-by-Step
Step 1: Complete Your Search Filters
Build your lead list using your preferred company and people filters to target your ideal prospects.
Step 2: Access the Ordering Interface
Once you've finalized your search criteria:
Click "Proceed to checkout" at the top right of your page
Step 3: Configure the Exclude Option
After clicking "Proceed to checkout", you'll see the order configuration screen:
Locate the "Exclude option" checkbox
Ensure this option is TICKED (checked)
This setting automatically prevents downloading any leads from your previous ListKit orders
Understanding the Exclude Feature
How It Works
ListKit maintains a database of all leads you've previously downloaded
When the exclude option is active, these leads are filtered out before charging credits
You receive only new, unique leads that match your search criteria
Credit Protection
Excluded leads are not counted toward your order volume
Credits are deducted only for new leads you haven't received before
This ensures maximum ROI for every credit spent
When to Untick the Exclude Option
In rare cases, you might want to re-download previous leads:
Valid Scenarios
Recovering lost or corrupted lead data
Testing changes in export formatting
Comparing lead updates between different time periods
Important Consideration
Warning: Unticking the exclude option will charge credits for previously paid leads. Only disable this feature when absolutely necessary.
