Engine Rebuilding & Reconditioning in reading. Data list availability: 1.

The most common director contact names supplied with Responsiva’s business data lists include Proprietor, Director, Managing Director, Partner and Chief Executive. These constitute the key decision-makers for marketing your products and services to. Other director type names are available but form a very small percentage of the data lists available. Business data counts are provided free of charge and usually arrive in your inbox within one hour. These can range from simple data list counts by industry classification or company size, or a full cross-tabulation profile against various desired territories or postcode areas. All prospect lists from Responsiva are pre-quoted in advance with full counts. Contact names and job titles are available and provided with 97% of Responsiva’s b2b mailing lists. If it is essential that 100% of your mailing data has a senior contact name then please let us know. In this case we will only supply you with a marketing data list where the name and job title is populated. Responsiva have segmented the UK into ten distinct sales regions. These include London, South-West, South-East, West Midlands, East Midlands, Wales, North-West, North-East, Scotland and Northern Ireland. When running a telephone marketing campaign on your prospect data lists, teams may be dedicated by sales region and measured accordingly. Testimonials are an important aspect of trusting which list brokers to work with. Here are two customers’ comments about Responsiva’s business data services; 1. I’m very happy with the list - please bill the full amount. 2. Really appreciate the speed in which you turned this around and the suggestion on how to market to the list. The full business data list universe contains approximately 3 million sites. One million of these include casual sole traders (e.g. someone who work as a magician at weekends) and multiple businesses from the same site (e.g. a garage which also sells and hires cars). Responsiva only supply prospect files from the reduced universe of two million businesses. Of the companies which trade from home 70% have just the one employee (sole trader). If you are looking for a b2b mailing list of businesses trading from home it may be worth considering the employee size. 16% have two employees and 14% more than two employees. Business data lists may be filtered by both premise type and employee size. Telephone data lists need to be screened against the TPS file. In total 27% of the business data universe is registered. By contrast, telephone prospect lists with five employees or less lose up to 33% of telephone numbers via the TPS matching. This figure reduces to just 17% of the business universe of more than 5 employees. Nearly three percent of the available business lists are educational premises. There are nearly fifty different classifications within the education sector, ranging from nurseries, schools, colleges, universities as well as adult training centres. When selecting b2b data lists it is crucial to consider the types of premise your marketing requires. A de-duplication service is supplied by Responsiva at no cost. Typically this would comprise a raw match on the telephone data, after stripping out spaces, brackets, plus signs and other non-numeric values within your data files. By running a de-duplication against your existing file, we can ensure you only receive net new prospect lists.

B2b data is ideal for telemarketing. Normal telephone list uses are data enhancement or appointment-setting for sales teams. Typical enhancements include gap-filling with sales opportunity data fields, such as existing contract renewal dates and current annual spend. This process is also used to verify correct decision-maker names, direct dials and email addresses. Approximately one third of business premises are retail outlets. When sourcing a business mailing list it is important to take account of the premise type because retail outlets will make up more than 30% of your b2b prospect data if included. Head offices and single sites are best separated from branches by the job title of the contact name. Are you stuck for ideas on which b2b prospect data is best for you? That is precisely what Responsiva are here to help with. After understanding your service offering, Responsiva will offer some suggestions on how best to market your business and which data lists would be best suited to working with.  The typical yield of a direct mail campaign is 1% - 2%, but this will depend on many factors. The most important aspects are your message and market. Your prospect mailing list quality is crucial, most especially its relevance to your market. Likewise the telephone data quality is equally vital, but of no value without a competent telesales professional. If you are looking for a prospect database of offices within a specific geographical area, you may also wish to consider employee size. For example, if you provide office cleaning services you will need multiple employees to enjoy more hours of cleaning. Office company data with five or more employees caters for only 50% of the file. The rest have less than five. The highest populated industry classification is public houses, followed by hairdressers, take-away food shops, builders and garages. Combined they make up nearly 10% of the prospect database universe. Restaurants would appear third, but are segmented by the food they serve. All data lists are supplied with their industry classification as standard. In supplying you with a count and quote for your prospect business list, Responsiva respect that you will want to see some data samples too. These are provided to illustrate the fields and format which are representative of the prospect mailing list for purchase, rather than as a test file for measuring quality. Where available the fax number will be supplied with the b2b data list, enabling you to perform a fax broadcast if desired. Telephone numbers are supplied with the prospect list, where not resident on the Telephone Preference Service. Fax broadcasting has become less popular over recent years however, due to high levels of marketing. It is common for clients to provide a Suppression File with their data orders. This comprises a data list of businesses which should not be contacted, and list brokers should not be supplying. Typical reasons why a business may be resident on a suppression file include: existing customers, existing prospects or businesses requesting not to be contacted again. The West Midlands area is usually defined by the six postcodes B, DY, CV, WR, WS & WV. Some companies prefer their prospect lists to extend into ST, TF, HR and DE as well. Therefore when specifying a loose term (such as “West Midlands”) it is important to be clear on the region you would like your prospect file to come from.

Something you will not find at Responsiva is weak account management. From our experience there is nothing worse than trying to order a database list from an incompetent account manager who fails to appreciate your market. At Responsiva you are guaranteed a competent account manager who understands the right data files for your marketing. Having the highest ratio of marketing data experience per employee, Responsiva are a market leader in providing you the very best prospect list available. This will ensure you expand your customer base and grow your business ahead of your competitors. By listening to your business objectives and strategy, Responsiva will ensure you receive a perfectly targeted marketing data list. There are approximately 25,000 branch managers within the prospect mailing list universe. Getting the right contact name (decision maker) is crucial for all marketing, so your business mailing lists should take this particular job title into account when running data counts and sourcing the ultimate b2b mailing list. No business data list is fully verified every month. What happens is that a section of the file is updated on a rolling monthly basis. When Responsiva have identified your marketing data, if you only require a specific volume (e.g. 5,000 records from a pool of 10,000) we will always supply the most recently verified records. Selecting the right marketing data list needn’t be a minefield. The prospect data specification should initially consider four key variables: geography, company size, premise type and the job function of who to target within each business. If the answer to any question is open, it may be worth considering which aspects of the b2b data to exclude instead. Responsiva supply Unique reference numbers (otherwise known as URNs) with every order for business mailing lists. These are used not only for ensuring data is not-resupplied, but may also be applied to the mailing piece for ease of reference with response. This enables you a fast look-up of responders to the original database list. The London area is unusual in prospect list terms, specifically in how the data file is defined. Typically there are two choices. The first is to select the compass point postcodes (N, NW, WC, EC etc) which approximate zones 3 to 4. The second (Greater London) would include postcodes as far as Watford, Enfield, Kingston and Dartford. Most b2b data lists require a degree of filtering by the number of employees, which provides a healthy reflection of company size for your prospect lists. 65% of businesses have up to five employees and it is worth noting that less than 2% of business sites have one hundred or more employees.  About five percent of company data is made up from factories and warehouses. Depending on your products and services, you may wish to target these premise types, or avoid them altogether. Therefore the type of premise from which a business trades is an important consideration for marketing data lists. If your marketing should be targeting large companies, it is imperative to specify the ideal company size at the start. Most are unaware that less than 2% of b2b mailing lists have an employee size of at least 100. The data enhancement process is particularly relevant to append employee size to your existing database.

Many database lists lack the breadth of data fields required for simple post-campaign analysis. Responsiva offer a database enhancement program to append valuable information such as employee size, premise type and industry classification. This gives your marketing database the power to understand where your prospects are converting to sale. Responsiva are always happy to supply you with net names. This is a business list of prospects which you don’t already have on file for marketing to. To achieve this we would need a copy of your existing prospect database files in order to ensure that no duplicates are provided. There are 1,336 distinct postal towns to select a prospect list by. Whilst the marketing data will typically relate to a bona fide town, in many of the rural areas the postcode district will relate to the nearest village. And in the built-up regions the data will be referred by city, such as London or Birmingham. The typical yield of a direct mail campaign is 1% - 2%, but this will depend on many factors. The most important aspects are your message and market. Your prospect mailing list quality is crucial, most especially its relevance to your market. Likewise the telephone data quality is equally vital, but of no value without a competent telesales professional. Email data lists are varied in quality within the direct marketing industry. The main issue is the high number of ‘soft’ bounces, which are caused through spam filters. This is not a data quality issue but more a case of clever filters. Responsiva’s email data guarantees less than 10% in hard bounces, which are specific to the email quality. The postcode formation is defined within a business data list as follows. The postcode area is the first two letters of the postcode. E.g. AB, BS etc. The postcode district is the first half of the postcode. E.g. AB11, AB12 etc. The postcode sector relates to the second number in the postcode. E.g. AB11 5, AB11 6 etc A business mailing list may be segmented by county. It is more common to run data counts and create a database list by the postcode (either by area or the districts) but counties may be applied as a preferential filter of the data. Some areas (such as “London” or “West Midlands”) will require a tighter definition to ensure clarity. When quoting for business data, Responsiva will always lay out a clear and simple understanding of what you are purchasing and how much it will cost. As a responsible list broker, there will be no hidden charges or unexplained surprises. The service is fast, competitively-priced, of high quality and honest at all times. Nearly four percent of the business universe comprises workshops and repair outlets. These can be broken down by industry if desired, as business data lists targeting this premise type are less frequently chosen. Any data file supplied by Responsiva will include the premise type as a standard output field. Of particular relevance to telephone marketing campaigns, the website address is supplied as standard within the business lists. This helps the telemarketers to sense-check any websites when calling through the telemarketing data list, and also to aid verification of the spelling of any email addresses gathered during the campaign.

Responsiva will provide your first data analysis free of charge; all we need is a list of responders to the initial campaign so that we may pinpoint the best prospect list for the follow-up.

These include the premise type, the site job titles and the number of sites of the business. i.e., single sites are head offices, whilst multi-site businesses require a head office premise and a named director.

About five percent of company data is made up from factories and warehouses. Depending on your products and services, you may wish to target these premise types, or avoid them altogether. Therefore the type of premise from which a business trades is an important consideration for marketing data lists. Telephone marketing data can be used for a direct telesales purpose (e.g. the sale of advertising space) or for enhancing your database. The enhancement process has a longer-term value, by initially seeking to weed out those which will never convert. Records within the telephone data list which have some potential can be gap-filled with sales potential fields. Many industry types are difficult to establish by employee size within the business data list universe. Good examples include taxi companies and builders. The main issue with prospect data for these types of industry is that they use contractors, so would not necessarily classify all workers as employees. For the SME Responsiva provide a test file of 1,000 data list records. This is adequately small enough to be of low cost, whilst suitably large enough to enable reasonably accurate measurement of the data file. This will enable a decision as to whether direct marketing will yield a suitable return on investment to roll out. Business data counts are provided free of charge and usually arrive in your inbox within one hour. These can range from simple data list counts by industry classification or company size, or a full cross-tabulation profile against various desired territories or postcode areas.

The whole process is usually turned around within a day and identifies the strengths and weaknesses of your prospect database. Accurate and well-targeted marketing data lists are crucial to lead generation so take advantage of this free service to ensure yours are in great shape. There are approximately 25,000 branch managers within the prospect mailing list universe.

Although company turnover is available, many businesses are not required to file accounts with Companies House, such as limited liability partnerships.

Data list availability: 1. With the greatest marketing data experience per employee in the industry, Responsiva will supply you the strongest prospect list possible. This will ensure you expand your customer base and grow your business ahead of your competitors. By listening to your business objectives and strategy, Responsiva will ensure you receive a perfectly targeted marketing data list. Approximately 35% of businesses trade from an office. Prospect files should always consider the type of premise from where businesses trade because they often reflect the propensity to convert to becoming a customer. Telemarketing data lists for offices can be split by whether there is a named director at site, or just an office manager. Prospects registered with the Corporate Telephone Preference Service (CTPS) should not be called unless you have an existing relationship with them. All telemarketing data lists supplied by Responsiva are pre-screened against the CTPS before supply. This ensures the telemarketing lists comply with your legal obligations before embarking on any calls.  All prospect files supplied by Responsiva are for multiple use, enabling you to contact your prospects as often as desired. Outright ownership is not permitted because this would enable the re-selling of prospect data lists, or adding the business records to an online directory. However, when a prospect proactively communicates with you, the information they provide becomes yours to own. Nearly four percent of the business universe comprises workshops and repair outlets. These can be broken down by industry if desired, as business data lists targeting this premise type are less frequently chosen. Any data file supplied by Responsiva will include the premise type as a standard output field. About five percent of company data is made up from factories and warehouses. Depending on your products and services, you may wish to target these premise types, or avoid them altogether. Therefore the type of premise from which a business trades is an important consideration for marketing data lists. More than 10% of businesses trade from home, which is an important factor to consider when sourcing a prospect database. Not only are these companies generally very small by employee size, but they are also non-conventional in terms of their operation. Therefore it is important to consider the business premise type when sourcing mailing data. Approximately 2% of the total business prospect data available are leisure, sports and holiday places. The premise type of a business is one of the most determining fields for consideration when identifying marketing lists. There are fourteen different types to choose from, and cross-tabulated counts are supplied without charge. To run an effective email marketing campaign you will need three things. The first is a campaign controller. The second is effective email data lists, which is where Responsiva will help. And the third is an email marketing system with which to run the campaigns.

Branch and office managers are typically empowered to decide on such services like recruitment or charitable donations, so should be included in your prospect data lists. If they are undesired however, Responsiva can exclude them.
