Dun & Bradstreet Leads
Anybody use them?
The people who do (or have in the past), what's your opinion? Care to share any past experiences? Thanks again,

we use D&B for a measure of a company's credit when they apply for an account FWIW

I've used them both for business credit reporting (my company doing the reporting on other company's credit) and for establishing corporate credit to qualify for merchant services etc.
Reporting credit to them and using them for credit research on companies has been a positive experience overall. on the other hand, in order to get a Dun & Bradstreet ID for my startup in a reasonable amount of time (days not months) so that we could get some CC processing in place, they bent us over a barrel. YMMV.

Hey Tshabet,
Do you happen to know a guy Arte Fascione? He's from Lowell - a pretty cool guy. Thanks for the help.

Ty,
I have used it at GE and now with NCH - info only as good as the co reports. I found that more than 50% of the contact info is dated but it does provide location info and a little on the business. Are you looking to use it for sales leads? There are better methods.
