Chose D&B Hoovers
I find [D&B] Hoovers to be the best of the 3 when I need to research large companies with complicated hierarchies. ZoomInfo is less useful for hierarchies, company structures, locations, etc., especially for companies with foreign sites. InsideView is almost as accurate and …

D&B Hoovers was originally used, but ZoomInfo is the king of platforms for customer …

Sales Intelligence Email Features
Comparison of Sales Intelligence Email Features features of D&B Hoovers and InsideView (discontinued)
I think maybe if they vetted the contacts that they're providing for those companies, it would be beneficial because I do use other avenues to vet the contacts because a lot of times I found that it is outdated information in D&B Hoovers, so that would be beneficial to us.

The training sessions were well-structured and covered the key functionalities of the platform, making it easy to get up to speed. The trainers were knowledgeable and responsive to questions, which added value to the learning experience.

D&B Hoovers allows me to make the most of my time when searching for companies within specific industries. Once I find a company and examine their profile, I can then generate a list of employees in the purchasing and engineering departments. The profiles for each listed employee contain cell phone, Email address and LinkedIn profile. This information helps me to bypass the companies front desk and get directly to the people I need to speak with.
By knowing the specific job title for the people that I am contacting and then being able to click on their LinkedIn link to learn a little about them before I make the call, I come across as a sales professional instead of an impersonal cold-caller.
In cases where I do need to go through a front desk receptionist whose primary mission is to screen out sales people, I find that three out of four times the receptionist will connect me to the specific employee because I know their name, department, and job title. The Intel provided by D&B Hoovers makes it possible for me to get to the people I need to speak with.
