NetProspex Reports Remarkable Momentum Over First Two Quarters of 2010

WALTHAM, Mass., May 11 /PRNewswire/ -- NetProspex Inc., the world's most accurate and fastest-growing sales and marketing contact database, today announced several of the milestone achievements the company has reached throughout the first two quarters of 2010.

Among the achievements the company announced is the growth of its database by more than 40% since the beginning of the year. NetProspex has added more than 4 million crowd-sourced, verified business contacts to its system over the past few months, expanding from 9 million to 13 million contacts in total. With its CleneStep(TM) verification process, NetProspex ensures that the accuracy of the 13 million contacts in their system is well above industry standards.

In addition to the growth of the NetProspex B2B prospecting database, the company has also expanded its user base, adding 200 major new enterprise customers to its client list. The new clients span across several industries, including healthcare, finance/banking, marketing, business services, IT, media, and retail, among others.

NetProspex has also seen its brand awareness reach new heights, receiving recognition from media outlets throughout the world. Since January, the NetProspex brand has been featured in leading publications such as the Wall Street Journal, Thomson Reuters, The New York Times, and Crain's, among hundreds of others.

Other milestones that NetProspex has achieved since the beginning of the year include:

• NetProspex Social Media 50 report: NetProspex published a first-of-its kind industry report, determining the 50 most social media savvy organizations in the United States, using its advanced social media analytics. The debut report brought to light Corporate America's high level engagement across social networks. NetProspex established the report to help people better understand how businesspeople across the country are using social media, and where they can be connected with. NetProspex is currently analyzing social media use among vertical industry categories, and updated standings on the NetProspex Social Media 50 report will be released this summer. 
• Events and speaking engagements: the NetProspex executive team continues to present at several industry events including the SIIA Previews and Online Marketing Summit. NetProspex executives will also be speaking at or attending a wide range of B2B, technology and marketing events in the coming months, including DM Days 2010, Social Media Plus, and several others.

"The momentum we've achieved thus far in 2010 is validation of our philosophy to providing sales and marketing professionals with targeted, accurate business contact information founded by a community of businesspeople," said Gary Halliwell, CEO of NetProspex. "As we move into the second half of 2010 our aim is to first bridge the gap between social media and business communication by allowing customers to append social network information to their customer and prospect databases, and evolve the ways in which business contact data is sourced, delivered, and enhanced."

These announcements are the first in what is expected to be a series of steps geared toward solidifying NetProspex as a trailblazer in the business contact landscape. Over the coming months the company plans to rollout several new initiatives and features, including the addition of a social media layer to its contact database. The integration will enable NetProspex's customers to append social network addresses to their customer database, and incorporate comprehensive social media intelligence into their prospecting efforts.
