NetProspex Reports Record-Setting Achievements in Recent Months

WALTHAM, Mass., Aug. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- NetProspex Inc., a leading sales and marketing contact database, connecting qualified business prospects to BtoB companies in a direct and measurable way, today announced record-setting growth achievements over the past few months.

Among the milestones the company achieved is the growth of its database of user-generated business contacts by more than 1 million records, making 15 million contacts available to BtoB sales and marketing professionals. With this expansion, NetProspex clients are poised to generate new business opportunities in August and the new quarter from accurate, targeted data.

NetProspex has also received acclaim in the BtoB community over the past few months for its newly enhanced CleneStep™ verification process, which ensures that the accuracy of NetProspex's 15 million user-generated contacts is the highest in the industry.

In addition to the growth of the NetProspex BtoB prospecting database, the company has also announced record sales growth, adding more new customers in the past three months than any other period in company history. The recent sales growth caps off a highly successful year for NetProspex, which saw the company's client base expand by 87%, bringing its total number of customers to well over 1,000.

"The crescendo of buzz and new enterprise clients so far in 2010 reflects a community of BtoB professionals that is no longer settling for low standards of data quality," said CEO Gary Halliwell. "The need is clear for targeted, accurate, complete business data, and we're poised to continue delivering on that and much more in the coming months."

The NetProspex brand has also continued to establish itself among influential media outlets and leading award bureaus as the standard for highly accurate BtoB contact information. The company has been included in news stories by hundreds of media outlets, including The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Reuters, Fox Business Network, Brandweek, as well as earning recognition by BtoB Magazine's "Who's Who" and DemandGen Report's "Solution Spotlight".

Other milestones that NetProspex has achieved recently include:

• Trade volume increase: the volume of contacts traded on the NetProspex contact exchange has increased by 133% since the beginning of 2010, and the company has also experienced a 300% increase in trade volume since this time last year. Contacts are verified by CleneStep technology before being published.
• Platform enhancements: in addition to the newly enhanced CleneStep™ verification process, NetProspex also added advanced sales intelligence capabilities to its search criteria, enabling subscribers to find contacts at companies running Salesforce, Netsuite, and Oracle. With the addition of social media data, clients are able to engage with business prospects across multiple online channels and social networking sites.

These milestone achievements and platform enhancements are the first in what is expected to be a series of announcements geared toward solidifying NetProspex as the industry leader in BtoB contact providers. In the coming months, the company plans to launch several new initiatives, including first-of-its-kind prospecting criteria, additional sales intelligence, continued performance optimization and speed enhancements, and advanced data cleansing and appending capabilities.
