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.
Business Groups & Market Sectors
From the 2,000 distinct industry classifications, mailing data spans eight Business Groups:
- Service Sector
- Retail
- Transport
- Food & Drink
- Agriculture
- Manufacturing
- Construction
- Materials & Chemicals
A prospect mailing list may target any combination of these groups, or drill down further into their respective market sectors, of which there are over 100 business data headings.
The retail sector includes prospect data lists of all industries whereby a consumer may enter to purchase a product or service. Not just "shops", but also restaurants, garages and opticians.
The Service Sector is perhaps the most diverse in b2b data list terms, covering not just business services but also the Finance, Medical, Education and Government market sectors.
Number of Sites
There are more than one million businesses operating from a single site. The number of sites a business has is a useful tool in removing the chains from b2b data lists, which are easily recognisable as having 10+ sites.
Multiple site business information presents potential marketing issues in identifying the key decision maker from within the businesses. Responsiva segment the mailing lists by also applying other variables such as:
- Named director at site
- Head office premise type
Data lists utilising the number of sites is of particular interest to companies marketing (say) software integration systems and internal courier services.
If you require business lists to be counted by the number of sites please ask your Account Manager because this is not a typical variable by which marketing lists are regularly segmented.
How Many Prospects Do You Need?
There is little point in purchasing a prospect database of 10,000 records if you will only market to 500 of them.
Most list brokers have minimum order levels. Responsiva's minimum order levels are lower than most, with the smallest data files being appropriately sized for the sole trading business.
A dedicated telemarketer will make a typical 100 – 150 dials per day, or 2,000 – 3,000 per month. This would suggest that a telemarketing data file of 2,500 records is of an appropriate size for a business to keep a full-time telemarketer busy for one month.
For mailing lists, with a response rate of 1% a b2b mailing list of 1,000 records should yield ten enquiries. This is a reasonable benchmark to work backwards from.
