Jigsaw Data Corp. Makes Finding New Customers Easier With the Addition of Integrated Contact Management and Advanced Search Capabilities to Its Online Marketplace for Business Contacts
SAN MATEO, Calif. -- Jigsaw Data Corporation today introduced a new version of its business contacts marketplace that makes it easier to find and manage relevant business leads from within its community-built database of more than two million company contacts. The Jigsaw online marketplace now offers simple, integrated contact management and expanded search capabilities that allow members to use as many as 17 search criteria to find detailed contact information, which includes the email and direct phone numbers for all levels of business professionals at nearly 150,000 companies.
The new version of the Jigsaw marketplace features:
-- Advanced search: Jigsaw's advanced search provides powerful and detailed segmentation capabilities that help Jigsaw members find the right contacts quickly and easily. Jigsaw provides a single screen from which members can search for contact information by multiple criteria that include company name, industry, number of employees, revenue and Fortune ranking, as well as data specific to individuals such as title, level and department.
-- Contact Management: Jigsaw's contact management capabilities give members the ability not only to search for leads, but also to manage those contacts throughout their lifecycle through a single, integrated system that is simple to use. The data in members' individual contact management portfolios is updated automatically when the general database is updated, assuring that members have the latest and most accurate data available. Further, Jigsaw's contact management capabilities enable Jigsaw members to prioritize sales and marketing leads, schedule follow-ups and store notes for each of the contacts they acquire through the Jigsaw marketplace.
-- Contact Sharing: Jigsaw offers the ability for corporate members to share contacts with other members in their group, creating a common pool of leads for sales or marketing efforts. Contact notes also can be shared within the group, offering the ability to find leads and track customer contacts within one easy-to-use system.
"We already solved the problem of finding accurate and detailed contact information for prospective new customers, and now with our new integrated contact management, we've solved the problem of keeping that information up-to-date," said Jim Fowler, CEO and co-founder of Jigsaw. "It's our mission to make Jigsaw the go-to place for finding and managing accurate company contact information so that people can be more effective and successful in their jobs."
