In Telegram (TG) customer acquisition scenarios, many enterprises still "add friends manually one by one and verify customer validity individually." Not only can they only screen dozens of valid leads per day, but they also waste a lot of time by mistakenly adding zombie accounts and non-target users. Telegram number screening is precisely the core solution to this dilemma: through Telegram number screening, enterprises can batch-screen real and valid customers, increasing efficiency by over 300% compared to manual work. Relying on the Telegram number screening function of ITG Global Screening, enterprises can further realize the full-process efficient operation of "batch screening → user tiering → precise reach," transforming customer acquisition from "inefficient manual work" to "intelligent precision." Starting from the pain points of manual customer acquisition, this article will explain in detail how ITG Global Screening’s Telegram number screening helps enterprises drastically boost efficiency and precisely reach target users.
Manually finding customers and verifying their validity on Telegram is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also traps enterprises in 3 major efficiency pitfalls. These problems can only be completely solved through Telegram number screening:
- Manual operation: Manually adding customers from Telegram groups and channels requires verifying "whether they are real users and whether they have needs" for each lead. On average, it takes 10-15 minutes per lead, and only 30-50 valid leads can be screened in 8 hours a day.
- Efficiency gap: With the Telegram number screening function of ITG Global Screening, 500 numbers can be processed per hour, and 4,000 can be screened in 8 hours a day. The number of valid leads obtained is 80 times that of manual work, with efficiency directly boosted by 300%.
- Real scenario: A cross-border e-commerce team of 3 people acquired customers manually and only obtained 45 valid leads a day. After switching to Telegram number screening, 1 person obtained 135 valid leads a day—efficiency increased by 3 times, and labor costs reduced by 67%.
- Manual judgment: Only simple judgments about customer attributes can be made through "nicknames and avatars," with no way to identify "whether they belong to the target industry or have product needs." As a result, 80% of manually added customers are non-target users (e.g., promoting enterprise-level software to students).
- Resource waste: Sending promotional information to non-target customers not only yields no conversions but also leads to being marked as "spam," resulting in Telegram accounts being restricted from adding friends.
- Data reference: Detection via ITG Global Screening’s Telegram number screening shows that the proportion of valid customers from manual acquisition averages only 15%, while that from Telegram number screening can reach over 60%—precision increased by 4 times.
- Labor investment: Manual customer acquisition requires a dedicated team. Among a 10-person customer acquisition team, 6 people need to be fully responsible for "finding and verifying customers," with labor costs accounting for over 60%.
- Opportunity cost: Manual customer acquisition causes enterprises to miss industry milestones (e.g., new product launches, procurement peak seasons). By the time customers are screened, market share has already been seized by competitors.
- Case comparison: A foreign trade enterprise engaged in manual customer acquisition, spending 30,000 yuan on labor monthly and only obtaining 1,200 valid leads. After switching to Telegram number screening, the monthly cost dropped to 10,000 yuan, and 4,500 valid leads were obtained—cost per lead decreased from 25 yuan to 2.2 yuan.
The Telegram number screening function of ITG Global Screening is not simply "batch verifying numbers." Instead, it helps enterprises boost efficiency by 300% and improve precise reach through three core capabilities: "batch screening, precise tiering, and automated linkage":
ITG Global Screening’s Telegram number screening breaks through the efficiency bottleneck of manual work and achieves batch processing through 3 technologies:
- Multi-channel number import: Supports importing numbers from multiple channels such as Excel, CSV, and Telegram group export files. No manual copy-pasting is needed, and 100,000 numbers can be imported at one time.
- High-concurrency verification: Up to 5,000 numbers can be processed per batch, with verification taking only 0.8 seconds per number. 500 numbers can be processed per hour—efficiency is 30 times that of manual work.
- Background automatic operation: After setting screening parameters, the system automatically completes "validity verification → risk identification → tag extraction" in the background. No manual monitoring is required, and results are notified via email upon completion.
A cross-border 3C enterprise used ITG screening to process 20,000 Telegram numbers, completing screening in only 40 minutes and obtaining 12,000 valid customers. Manual processing would have required 10 people working for 1 day—efficiency increased by 300%.
The core value of Telegram number screening lies in "precision." ITG Global Screening helps enterprises lock in target customers by extracting multi-dimensional tags:
- Basic attribute screening: Extracts customer age (18-25 years old / 26-35 years old, etc.), gender, and region (e.g., New York, USA; Delhi, India) to match the product’s target audience.
- Industry demand screening: Generates industry tags (e.g., "cross-border e-commerce," "mechanical parts," "maternity and child") based on the Telegram groups customers have joined and the themes of channels they follow, ensuring customers match product needs.
- Activity screening: Marks customers’ activity frequency in the past 3/7/30 days, prioritizing screening of "highly active" customers (logged in ≥3 times in the past 7 days). The conversion probability of these customers is 5 times that of low-active customers.
A maternity and child brand used ITG screening to filter out 18,000 target customers labeled "females aged 25-35 + following maternity channels + active in the past 7 days" from 50,000 Telegram numbers. The subsequent promotion conversion rate reached 5.2%, far exceeding the 1.1% of manual customer acquisition.
Manual customer acquisition often leads to account restrictions due to mistakenly adding high-risk accounts. ITG Global Screening’s Telegram number screening ensures acquisition security through risk identification:
- High-risk account labeling: Identifies high-risk accounts that are "banned by Telegram, have high complaint rates, or have abnormal devices" and directly eliminates them to avoid associated risk control.
- Virtual number filtering: Precisely identifies virtual numbers such as Google Voice and TextNow. The retention rate of users with these numbers is less than 3%, and filtering them reduces invalid additions.
- Compliance screening: Combines regulations such as GDPR to screen customers who have authorized the receipt of marketing information, avoiding complaints caused by non-compliant reach.
A foreign trade enterprise used ITG screening to filter out 15% of high-risk accounts. No restrictions were imposed on its Telegram acquisition accounts afterward, whereas 2 accounts were banned monthly due to associated high-risk accounts during manual acquisition.
Enterprises can use ITG Global Screening’s Telegram number screening for customer acquisition without complex technology. Ordinary operators can get started in 10 minutes. The specific process is as follows:
First, based on product/service characteristics, clarify the target customer persona and determine the core dimensions for Telegram number screening:
- For cross-border e-commerce (home products): Core dimensions include "region (Europe and America) + age (25-40 years old) + interest (home decoration) + activity (active in the past 7 days)."
- For B2B enterprises (chemical raw materials): Core dimensions include "region (industrial concentration areas) + industry (chemical / manufacturing) + identity (procurement manager) + risk level (low risk)."
- For service industries (online education): Core dimensions include "region (target country) + identity (parent / student) + interest (language learning) + activity (active in the past 30 days)."
Complete number import and screening task launch through the ITG Global Screening backend:
- Import number list: Organize collected Telegram numbers into Excel/CSV format (including country codes, no special characters) and upload them to the ITG backend.
- Set screening parameters:
- Mandatory parameters: Check "Eliminate empty / virtual numbers," "Eliminate high-risk accounts," and "Extract basic attribute tags."
- Optional parameters: Select target regions, industry tags, and activity ranges (e.g., "active in the past 7 days").
- Launch screening: Click "Start Task." The system automatically begins screening and displays real-time progress (e.g., "30% completed, 20 minutes remaining").
After screening is completed, focus on analyzing the "Telegram Number Screening Report" generated by ITG to extract valid customers:
- Key data to focus on:
- Quantity and proportion of valid customers (target proportion ≥50%; if lower, optimize number sources).
- Proportion of customers with target tags (e.g., proportion of "females aged 25-35" among valid customers, which should be ≥60%).
- Proportion of high-risk accounts (should be ≤5% to avoid account risk control).
- Export valid customers: Click "Export Valid Customers" and select "Export by Tag" (e.g., "highly active target customers," "moderately active target customers") to facilitate subsequent tiered reach.
Synchronize the screened valid customers to Telegram marketing tools for precise reach:
- Highly active target customers: Push "limited-time offers + product links" (e.g., "Black Friday exclusive 20% off, click to purchase"). These customers have strong conversion intentions and require priority reach.
- Moderately active target customers: Push "industry information + product cases" (e.g., "2025 home decoration trends with customer success cases") to cultivate conversion intentions.
- Automated reach: Connect to Telegram bulk messaging tools via ITG and set "automatic welcome messages after friend requests." Message content is customized based on customer tags (e.g., sending "new mom parenting guide + new product trial application" to "maternity customers").
A cross-border e-commerce enterprise obtained 12,000 valid customers through this process using ITG screening, completing reach within 3 days with a conversion rate of 4.8%. In the same period, manual customer acquisition only obtained 300 valid customers with a 1.2% conversion rate—both efficiency and conversion were improved.
- Manual customer acquisition: A 3-person team manually added Telegram friends, obtaining only 45 valid leads a day with a validity rate of 15%.
- High costs: Monthly labor costs were 24,000 yuan, with a cost per lead of 53 yuan—far exceeding the industry average of 20 yuan.
- Low conversion: Sending information to non-target customers resulted in a conversion rate of only 1.1%, and accounts were restricted once a month due to associated high-risk accounts.
- Efficiency improvement: 1 person operating ITG screening processed 500 numbers a day, obtaining 300 valid leads. Efficiency was 6.7 times that of manual work. The total number of valid leads increased from 4,050 to 27,000 in 3 months—efficiency boosted by 300%.
- Cost reduction: Labor costs decreased from 24,000 yuan/month to 8,000 yuan/month, and cost per lead dropped from 53 yuan to 2.7 yuan—costs reduced by 95%.
- Conversion improvement: Target customers labeled "industrial concentration areas + procurement managers + highly active" were screened. The promotion conversion rate increased from 1.1% to 5.5%, order volume grew by 5 times, and no account risk control restrictions occurred.
Imported Telegram numbers must include country codes (e.g., +1, +86) and have special characters such as spaces and hyphens removed (e.g., change "+1 (123) 456-7890" to "+11234567890"). Format errors will cause verification failures. The "automatic format repair" function of ITG can be used to fix this.
Telegram customer status changes dynamically (e.g., users cancel accounts or switch industries). It is recommended to re-screen existing customers with ITG number screening monthly to eliminate dormant customers (inactive for 90 days) and add new target customers, maintaining the activity of the customer list.
Multi-dimensional screening combining "basic attributes + industry needs + activity" is required. Avoid screening only by region, which may lead to non-target customers being included (e.g., selecting only "U.S. customers" but including student groups with no product needs).
Free tools can only verify basic validity with an accuracy rate of less than 70%, and cannot extract industry tags or identify high-risk accounts. ITG Global Screening has an accuracy rate of 99.2% and provides multi-dimensional tags, helping enterprises save costs and improve conversion in the long run.
In the increasingly competitive landscape of Telegram customer acquisition, "manually finding customers one by one" is a thing of the past. Telegram number screening helps enterprises boost efficiency by 300% and improve conversion through batch efficient screening, precise tiering, and risk avoidance. The Telegram number screening function of ITG Global Screening perfectly combines "efficiency" and "precision," becoming the "core engine" for enterprise customer acquisition.
