Customer Profiling
One of the strongest methods of identifying perfect prospect lists is to profile your existing customers. A business mailing list is ideal when the prospect data therein "looks like" your existing customers.
A customer profile has three stages:
- Match the customer database to the business universe.
- Review all variables (from the universe) of the matched customers, and identify trends.
The most common trends typically occur with the industry classifications, market sectors and company sizes. Customer profiling yields a targeted database list specification for your key prospects. (e.g. "Finance Sector with 20+ employees").
The final stage is to identify the net names; i.e., the number of prospects meeting this marketing data specification which are not resident in your customer data list.
Company Size
There are two ways to segment prospect data lists by company size; by turnover or employee size.
The key issues with selecting b2b data lists by company turnover are (a) the age of the information and (b) many companies are not required to file accounts. Therefore Responsiva recommends the use of employee size when sourcing business data lists. Facts & figures to consider when purchasing b2b prospect data from a list broker:
- 53% of business lists have less than 5 employees.
- 31.5% of prospect lists have 5 - 20 employees.
- 15.5% of data lists have more than 20 employees.
Depending on the Market Sector (e.g. Finance, Manufacturing etc) Responsiva can apply a "turnover per employee" ratio to your chosen business list.
Telephone Preference Service
Responsiva's business information supplied as telephone marketing data is pre-screened against the Telephone Preference Service (TPS) as standard. This ensures that telemarketing lists are compliant with data protection requirements.
Statistics for business data registered with the TPS file across the universe of UK businesses:
- 27% of telephone data is registered with the TPS file.
- If only telemarketing data with 5+ employees are considered, the figure drops to 16.5% of company data registered with the TPS file.
- And for the telephone data lists with 20+ employees, only 12% of the universe is registered.
Smaller businesses (especially sole traders) find excessive inbound telemarketing calls obtrusive to their operation and daily trading. Therefore a higher percentage of the smaller companies are registered.
Email Data
Business email data is available with your prospect list. Business emails are quoted separately from standard prospect data and when sourcing emails with your marketing lists you should consider:
- Do you require one email per company, or all emails from each business?
- Would you like to include generic emails (e.g. "info@") or named email addresses?
In purchasing an email data list you should question the data quality. Specifically, how many "hard bounces" do the list brokers guarantee?
Soft bounces occur when a prospect’s server rejects an email from its spam filters. No list broker can accurately forecast the percentage of soft bounces.
Hard bounces occur from out-dated (dead) emails and can be guaranteed. Responsiva guarantees less than 10% of hard bounces.
