How do I create a list of companies?

Use the Create a List of Companies search form to generate a list of prospective customers that match the criteria you specify.

  1. Click the Create a List tab.
  2. Select the Companies option.
  3. Use the fields on the form to describe the companies you want to target. For example, if you want to create a list of companies in the retail banking industry in New York state with revenue greater than $100,000,000:
    • Select 100,000,000 in the Sales/Revenue > Above drop-down list.
    • Select Business Description in the Search drop-down list and enter banking in the For box.
    • Select New York in the State drop-down list.
  4. Click Create. The system reports the number of companies that match your criteria and displays a preview of the top 10.
    Note: If only one company matches your search criteria, you will see a Snapshot report for that company.
  5. If you are satisfied with the number and type of results, click Next: Customize List. Otherwise, click Edit Search to change your search criteria.
  6. Select the company attributes (e.g., telephone number, business description, and sales/revenue) that you want to appear in your final list, then click Update Company List.
  7. Browse your final company list results and click Download Selected Items to save a copy that can be opened in a spreadsheet program.
    Tip: If you don't want to download all of the items in your list, select the checkboxes next to the items that you want before clicking Download Selected Items.
