2. 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 existingclients 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 bythe number of new additions to the prospect list. A targeted prospect list will ensure thattime 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 importantthat 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 canmarket or sell to. To get access to such lists you might:Buy or Rent ListsThere are many ways to build a prospect database, but none can add new prospects as quickly asbuying or renting a list. But, this option can be expensive and you can never be sure if you aregetting the exact customers that you want. Also, there is the issue of outdated contact datasince contact information may change at any time. Additionally, buying rights on commercial listsplace restrictions on how you use those lists. Build Prospect Lists on your OwnuildWe highly recommend that you build your own prospect list. This is because you know the targetmarket for your business better than anybody else. You know their characteristics and whatappeals 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 placesyou could go to on the Internet to find all kinds of lists. There are broad categories of lists. Thefollowing 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 tobuild your own targeted custom lists. You have business name, address, phonenumbers, email, etc If you are looking to prospect individuals in your neighborhood, White Pages is theplace to go to. It contains personal listings in alphabetical order, together withtheir postal or street address and telephone number.

Example: Let's say you are a sales person attempting to build a list of automobiledealerships in a particular region that you can market to. To build such a list youcan go to an online directory or website (cardealersusa.com, superpages.com)that contains such listings.

Business owners in townsand cities form these local societies. Local businessmen are members. This willhelp you get to lists of businesses in a local geographic domain.

Most corporate websiteshave a lot of interesting data that you can glean from. They have information notjust on employees but also about their suppliers, dealers/resellers, etc thatcould be meaningful for building lists. For Example, companies such as Ford, Caterpillar, etc have a dealer locator ontheir website. Websites of real estate companies have agent finders on their web-sites.
