You may want to try D&B Marketplace. They will be coming out with a new product later this year. I've found this to be one of the best sources for targeted mailings, list generation, sales territory analysis, etc. Their lists are updated quarterly, they offer SIC codes (primary and secondary), annual revenues (not estimates), number or employees, and future information will include technology aspects of a business (# of PCs, etc.). You can get started with D&B Marketplace for about $299 (does not include credits which are about .10 apiece -- allows you to purchase additional information thorugh your PC, without having to phone in a request). You can also use their direct mail program via the Internet -- a great thing to have if you're on your own, or need a quick vendor for small mail outs. Did I mention that they cover all businesses -- both publicly traded and privately held!! I've been using this product for about 5 years now, and have found it to be the most comprehensive.
If you need a phone number and contact, please send me an e-mail.
