- Find Contacts
- Research Industries
- Analyze Markets
- Update Contacts
- Ensure Company information is up to date
- Feature showcasing company changes and headlines
Using D&B Hoovers for B2B Sales and Marketing
- Easy to use - create a list with specific criteria
- Easy to search for company and contact names to verify contact info
- Easy to manage the lists and view them quickly on a personal dashboard
- Navigation - moving back and forth from contacts and list needs improvement
- Intent to buy lists - not as accurate or abundant as hoped for
- Does not show as many email and phone numbers for contacts as the competition
- Easy to filter a list of hundreds of contacts to pair it down to just a few key people in either purchasing or engineering departments.
- Searching for a company by their web domain instantly brings up the profile.
- Once I have identified a company I wish to speak with, I can also see corporate linkage to other satellite offices or divisions under the corporate umbrella.
- Sometimes the contact information provided is quite out of date. For example, I will call a cell phone number of a person listed in the database and find that that person either has never worked for the company in question or they left years ago.
- Occasionally a company comes up on the list but the company is permanently closed.
Easy to connect with targets
- Finding business contacts and emails
- Researching business trends and growth
- Finding similar businesses in the vicinity of targets
- Updating business contacts
- Data cleanup, some contacts don’t exist or business no longer operating

It was ok, not stellar

Very happy!
Our team (advertisng/sales) will be using it the largest percent of the time.

- The codes/numbers can become a bit confusing when your tying to narrow down a search
