Industry Insight Is Key

This is content written for salespeople, and it’s designed to help you get up to speed quickly on timely issues and opportunities that are impacting an industry. Sales teams can focus on what they do best – connecting with new and existing customers and building relationships – helping spare them from time-consuming and expensive research.
First Research contains more than 500 in-depth industry profiles, written by Dun & Bradstreet’s in-house editorial team.

- provide litigation support and business valuations
- perform due diligence
Company Analytics Matter
Three additional analytic tools provide intelligence on a company’s financial health, buying patterns, and growth potential, factoring in current conditions. This information can help you quickly target qualified prospects and buying centers so you can make more informed decisions about an account and engage with relevance.
Decision HQ saves time for busy sales teams, identifying locations where purchasing decisions are most likely to be made.
Spend Capacity is a spend-ranking tool that leverages Dun & Bradstreet data to model the spending capacity of businesses, to help target and prioritize companies that are more likely to have budget.
Growth Trajectory – helps identify companies that are growing, stable, or shrinking.
Dun & Bradstreet leverages proprietary analytics to assess risk and opportunity across key business metrics to anticipate a company’s future trajectory. Understanding a company’s trajectory can help you be more effective positioning your products based on their business situation and anticipate the future needs of the business.
