Use Cases and Deployment Scope

D&B Connect is truly a lifeline to our company when evaluating potential customers and reviewing current customers' financial health. We utilize the program weekly, and it allows our teams to get a more in-depth look at who we're doing business with. I highly recommend the program. The only slight downside is the overall cost, which is higher than we would like.

Pros

  • Customer Financial Health.
  • Customer Payment History.
  • Domestic & International Use (for an additional fee).

Cons

  • The cost is high.
  • International reviews are not included (additional fee).

Return on Investment

  • It has allowed us to determine customers' creditworthiness and request payment in advance from those who do not meet our criteria.

Usability

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We Used D&B mainly for sales intelligence, we used this tool to find people who had the intention of taking services similar to what we offer. We used the tool to search people mainly in the US and India. The main problem is the reach the right people at the right time, D&B helps in identifying them, this narrows down the number of people we need to approach to make our pitch. I guess they use cookies to identify the people from companies who search the net for particular services and thus letting us know the intent to buy.

Pros

  • Searching people who have the intent to buy your services or products.
  • It has as very good filter that helps pinpoint your targeted audience.
  • It has a large pool of contacts within the company, so helps to reach out to the right person via several connections.
  • The data available is fresh and current.

Cons

  • Further breakdown of industries can be done.
  • Executives who are decision makes can be indicated in a better way.
  • Too expensive.

Return on Investment

  • ROI can be achieved anywhere between 6 to 12 months depending upon your business.
  • The product is expensive but the data provided is good to an extent and a big sale can help achieve your ROI.
  • The data accuracy sometimes can be bad leading to bad domain reputation.
