Sourcing phone numbers for cold calling / prospecting
hey everyone, love this sub spend a lot of time here. I'm based in Canada in year 3 but one thing I've had a ton of trouble with is finding phone numbers. Everyone on here seems to be able to track down a significant number of phone numbers but where I'm based I'm lucky to find 10 numbers out of 100 properties in my database. As a result I do most of my prospecting through door to door canvassing, this is fine and I've had good luck with it but it's a big gap in my efficiency. It may just be that numbers are more private here than in other markets, but it occurred to me that I could be missing something too. 

I'm wondering how you guys source numbers mainly if I'm missing something. Reonomy hasn't made it's way up here yet sadly.
