Overall Satisfaction with D&B Hoovers

D&B Hoovers has been a great prospecting tool for our sales department. We will use this to look up companies' financial pre-screening, annual sales volume, and other pertinent information used to compile a lead generation list. One of the convenient features is being able to compile a large list based on industry codes and physical location. This has really helped us narrow down our searches and compile a lead list of quality leads and oftentimes provides contact information to get the initial conversation started. I have been using this for six years now and have been thankful for the continual updates to the platform. The ease of this platform is second to none! User-friendly even for those who are not technologically savvy.

  • Quality leads = better mutual fit between customer and vendor
D&B Hoovers gives a good amount of information, but also provides links to the website where more information is available. I have noticed some companies that have semi-incorrect information but this has been few and far between in my experience.
Sometimes contact info is outdated - the pandemic had a large impact on this due to people leaving, and now the current labor shortage. Historically this has been good, not great. I am usually looking for the contact name, email address, and title with the company - There are times when the title or email is incorrect.
