Build Targeted Prospect Lists Quickly and Cost-effectively with ListGrabber



 The most fundamental requirement for any business or sales person is a prospect list.

 A prospect list is a record of people who could be potential clients. At times, your existing
 clients are also part of this list as they might use your business again. The success of a busi-
 ness or a sales person can be measured by the number of sales resulting from its use and by
 the number of new additions to the prospect list. A targeted prospect list will ensure that
 time is not spent on markets with little or no returns.

 Ideally, a sales person should create and manage his own prospect list. Hence, it is important
 that you form a clear picture of the target market for your business.



 Most Sales and Marketing Professionals are interested in obtaining prospect lists that they can
 market or sell to. To get access to such lists you might:



  Buy or Rent Lists
 There are many ways to build a prospect database, but none can add new prospects as quickly as
 buying or renting a list. But, this option can be expensive and you can never be sure if you are
 getting the exact customers that you want. Also, there is the issue of outdated contact data
 since contact information may change at any time. Additionally, buying rights on commercial lists
 place restrictions on how you use those lists.




  Build Prospect Lists on your Own
   uild
 We highly recommend that you build your own prospect list. This is because you know the target
 market for your business better than anybody else. You know their characteristics and what
 appeals to them. Having said that, the question that comes next is - Where do I find them?

 One of the secrets to building custom prospect lists is truly the Internet. There are so many places
 you could go to on the Internet to find all kinds of lists. There are broad categories of lists. The
 following are some of the sites that you could visit:


             Online Directories

         Online directories (such as YellowPages, SuperPages) have businesses catego-
         rized according to the product or service provided. You could search their data-
         base by name, business or location and they often contain far more comprehen-
         sive business information such as vicinity maps, company profiles, product infor-
         mation, and more. Some are not aware that these are great places if you wish to
         build your own targeted custom lists. You have business name, address, phone
         numbers, email, etc

         If you are looking to prospect individuals in your neighborhood, White Pages is the
         place to go to. It contains personal listings in alphabetical order, together with
         their postal or street address and telephone number. Real Estate Professionals
         tend to use White Pages to farm their neighborhood.

             Membership Lists

         These are trade associations representing an industry. The National Association of
         Mortgage Brokers, or NAMB represents the mortgage broker industry in the
         United States. It has a membership of 27,000 members. One can find name,
         address, email, phone and fax number, etc of mortgage brokers by city/state.
         Realtor.org and cardealersusa.com are examples of other membership lists.

         Example: Let's say you are a sales person attempting to build a list of automobile
         dealerships in a particular region that you can market to. To build such a list you
         can go to an online directory or website (cardealersusa.com, superpages.com)
         that contains such listings. Once you enter your search criteria matching listings
         are displayed.


             Chamber of Commerce Lists

         A Chamber of Commerce is a form of business network. Business owners in towns
         and cities form these local societies. Local businessmen are members. This will
         help you get to lists of businesses in a local geographic domain.

         For example, the California Chamber of Commerce (www.calchamber.com) has
         15,000 members ranging from large companies to local companies with just a
         handful of employees.


             MLS Lists

         These come in handy for Real Estate Agents. A Multiple Listing Service (MLS) is a
         group of private databases which allows real estate brokers, representing sellers,
         to widely share information about properties with real estate brokers who may
         represent potential buyers or wish to cooperate with a seller's broker in finding a
         buyer for the property.


             Corporate Web Pages

         Company websites could be a goldmine of information. Most corporate websites
         have a lot of interesting data that you can glean from. They have information not
         just on employees but also about their suppliers, dealers/resellers, etc that
         could be meaningful for building lists.

         For Example, companies such as Ford, Caterpillar, etc have a dealer locator on
         their website. Websites of real estate companies have agent finders on their web-
         sites.

 An advantage in building lists on your own from the Internet is the greater accuracy of the
 listings. Information displayed on websites and online directories can be updated in real time;
 therefore, the contact data is current and up-to-date. But, there is another problem in building
 custom prospect lists.

  The Pain of Manually Building Prospect Lists
   he

 If you are to build lists from all of the afore-mentioned sources, all you need to do is choose the source
 (website / online directory) that you think would be the most appropriate for your business / offering and
 enter your search criteria to have matching listings displayed. Its also possible that your search results are
 spread over multiple pages. Then, you would then have to manually copy and paste each piece of contact
 information - name, postal address, email, phone, fax, etc - into a column in an Excel sheet or a field in
 your contact manager. Typing it would be even more painful. The whole process is a big waste of time
 and effort.



 eGrabber’s Solution
  Grabber

 building prospect lists.

 on the Internet and enters them into columns in an Excel spreadsheet or to respective fields in a contact
 manager. Using this tool, you can capture any list from anywhere on the Internet with a single button click.

  • 3. Build Targeted Prospect Lists Quickly and Cost-effectively with ListGrabber Membership Lists These are trade associations representing an industry. The National Association of Mortgage Brokers, or NAMB represents the mortgage broker industry in the United States. It has a membership of 27,000 members. One can find name, address, email, phone and fax number, etc of mortgage brokers by city/state. Realtor.org and cardealersusa.com are examples of other membership lists. Example: Let's say you are a sales person attempting to build a list of automobile dealerships in a particular region that you can market to. To build such a list you can go to an online directory or website (cardealersusa.com, superpages.com) that contains such listings. Once you enter your search criteria matching listings are displayed. Chamber of Commerce Lists A Chamber of Commerce is a form of business network. Business owners in towns and cities form these local societies. Local businessmen are members. This will help you get to lists of businesses in a local geographic domain. For example, the California Chamber of Commerce (www.calchamber.com) has 15,000 members ranging from large companies to local companies with just a handful of employees. MLS Lists These come in handy for Real Estate Agents. A Multiple Listing Service (MLS) is a group of private databases which allows real estate brokers, representing sellers, to widely share information about properties with real estate brokers who may represent potential buyers or wish to cooperate with a seller's broker in finding a buyer for the property. Corporate Web Pages Company websites could be a goldmine of information. Most corporate websites have a lot of interesting data that you can glean from. They have information not just on employees but also about their suppliers, dealers/resellers, etc that could be meaningful for building lists. For Example, companies such as Ford, Caterpillar, etc have a dealer locator on their website. Websites of real estate companies have agent finders on their web- sites. An advantage in building lists on your own from the Internet is the greater accuracy of the listings. Information displayed on websites and online directories can be updated in real time; therefore, the contact data is current and up-to-date. But, there is another problem in building custom prospect lists. © eGrabber, Inc. .. 3 .. www.egrabber.com
