Rationale

The value of a contact lies in its timing.

An address is easy to obtain. What is valuable is knowing when a company actually faces a decision.

The idea

Demand arises on specific days.

Companies engage advisers, capital, insurance and services at moments that can be named. A handover is prepared, proceedings are opened, a company is formed, a group makes an acquisition, a subsidy expires. In these weeks, mandates are awarded that last for years.

Whoever makes contact at that moment meets an open question and a counterpart in search of an answer. Our work consists in making these moments visible within a database of more than 1.1 million companies, company by company and by name.

Six fields

Which occasion triggers which need.

Use

Approached with care.

A list realises its value through the manner in which it is used. In Germany, clear rules apply to approaching businesses: a letter to the company is unobjectionable, a telephone call requires a presumed interest, and a promotional email requires consent.

Our data is therefore designed for a formal, well prepared first contact. Anyone who objects to the use of their data no longer appears in any of our lists.

See your occasion in figures. Each field contains several themes. You see the number of matches before you order.
