You can search by a number of criteria, including brand, equipment, and location. This will help you narrow down your search to very specific prospects who are most likely to purchase the equipment you sell.
For instance, if you’re selling front end loaders in Topeka, KS, you can narrow down prospect searches to contractors within your AOR who have purchased front end loaders in the past 5 years. This narrows down the prospect list to the contractors who are most likely to need your equipment.
