It's the most accurate database you'll find. But don't take our word for it. Listen
to what a customer of ours, Jerry Dean of Cherokee Logistics Inc., says first hand.
“In less than three days I knew this would pay for itself many, many times
over. The information needed to make a decision on a prospective sales call
is only a click away. The number of employees, how long in business and gross
sales are only a very few of the valuable pieces of information afforded to us.”
Every single week we update our file with brand new businesses. Then once a month,
we update our files with any changes and remove businesses that are no longer open.
In one year, the entire database changes dramatically. In fact, it changes by 70%
in that one year span. That's what inspired us to give you access to our live, most
current information at any time you want.
How do we make our databases better than anyone else? It takes a dedicated team
of researchers to individually examine and update records. Next, we personally call
every business to validate the accuracy. Nobody else does that. In fact, some companies
have computers that do all the work. They randomly search millions of web sites
for names. It's just one big data dump with no authentication of where the information
comes from or verification that the names are even real. Most are never even updated.
Instead, our data is telephone verified so you get nothing but the highest quality,
most accurate information. No amount of computer technology can replace that. It
may sound like we're bragging, but we're awfully proud.
Our Business Data:
- We split apart and catalogue 5,200 phone books, annual reports
and other business directories to find information on nearly every business in the
nation.
- Next, we hand-key each record and call every business to make
sure you have the most reliable information available.
- Public record data from county courthouse filings, SEC and
10K filings, and Secretary of State data are then entered.
- Every week 50,000 new businesses are added from sources such
as new business registrations and utility hookups so you can be the first to reach
a hot new prospect.
- Every month, we match and clean the data with the USPS National
Change of Address (NCOA), ZIP+4 and Delivery Sequence Files to standardize and keep
the addresses accurate.
Our Consumer Data:
- We split apart and catalogue 4,300 telephone directories.
- Data specialists examine each listing and enhance it with buying
habit and lifestyle information from real estate transactions, product registrations,
magazine subscriptions, and survey responses.
- Every week we release 300,000 new movers.
- Every month we match and clean the data with the USPS National
Change of Address (NCOA), ZIP+4 and Delivery Sequence Files to standardize and keep
the addresses accurate.
Yes. You have the option to save your prospect list at any time, even after you
have selected a few leads. This will allow you to re-run the search at a later date,
gather more leads, or even change your search criteria. For weekly updated databases
such as Brand New Businesses, New Movers, New Homeowners and Bankruptcy Filers you
can also save a search and come back every Friday to re-run it and gather leads
that were added that week.
When you save a list it becomes a "saved search" which is listed in the "My Account"
area. You can re-run a saved search at anytime to find more leads. You can also
save your list or sales leads to your Contact Manager to further organize your prospects.
You can sort your list by clicking on any of the column headings, or select a heading
in the drop down box. If you want to sort your list by more than one heading, click
on the "Custom Sort" button.
In-depth Business Profiles can give you detailed company information complete with
credit score, description, company news, legal filings and more. With increased
business intelligence from our Business Profiles, your sales team will be better
prepared for calls and close deals faster than
ever before.
You can quickly find out detailed information including:
- Company Name
- Corporate Organization
- Company Description
- Key Executive Directory
- Similar Businesses
- Public Filings
- Photograph of Business
- Business Credit Rating Score
- Recommended Credit Limit
- Links to Annual Reports and Web Site
There are many ways that our Business Profiles can help you. For example, use the
Corporate Information section to gather business intelligence on a big client. We
also give you the corporate organization and hierarchy so you can understand the
chain of command or reach out to multiple contacts.
The profile also includes a list of nearby shops with similar characteristics. These
neighboring businesses can be a great addition to your prospect list or can aid
in collecting overdue payments.
Let's say you have a customer that wants to buy from you on credit. You don't want
to waste hours or days tracking down bank and trade references.
Our reports are also perfect for:
- Pre-qualifying sales leads
- Profiling customers
- Commercial skip-tracing
- Making low-risk, low-dollar credit decisions
- Verifying businesses, suppliers and vendors
- Finding fax, telephone and address data
Salesgenie has developed a sophisticated computer model to assign credit ratings
to the companies in our business database. Our model considers information such
as: number of employees, years in business, industry stability, census data and
other factors to arrive at credit ratings that are practical, statistically sound
indicators of probability to pay.
Salesgenie includes a built-in, easy-to-use contact manager to help you manage your

With Quick Look-Up & Find you can search for a specific business or consumer.
Find a business by company name, ticker symbol, executive name, city, state
or zip code. Find a consumer by name, city, state or zip code. Or do
a reverse search, for businesses or consumers, using a phone number or address.
One of the best reasons to use Quick Look-Up & Find is to get a list of prospects
that match your current customers. You already have the perfect customer, why not
search for that business or person and then let Salesgenie pull back EVERY matching
prospect we have.
If you call consumers at home to sell products or services, the Federal Trade Commission
(FTC) requires that you remove phone numbers of those registered on Do Not Call
lists. We scrub out phone numbers against the registry every week. By law, you must
check every 31 days for new additions to the DNC list. If you call someone on the
DNC list, that person may file a complaint with the FTC and you could be fined.
Calls made on behalf of non-profit organizations and politicians are exempt from
Do Not Call regulations. Calls made to businesses are also exempt from these regulations.
Salesgenie can remove consumers registered as "Do Not Call" from your lists, once
you have a Subscription Account Number (SAN).
A Subscription Account Number (SAN) identifies that an organization has registered
with the government for updates to the National Do Not Call Registry. A SAN is assigned
to your organization after the registration is complete and payment (if required)
is received. At the end of the annual subscription period, the SAN expires and you
must re-register with the government.
If you market to consumers, some selections such as phone number or families with
children will require us to provide assistance in following all the privacy regulations.
We're here to help, just call us. After a quick approval process, your list can
be released for your use. We hope you can appreciate the care and steps that we
are taking to protect you and the privacy of the individuals within our database.
