What is CompanyCurrent

CompanyCurrent is prospecting software for people who sell to businesses in the United States and Canada. It finds companies that fit what you sell, checks public sources for anything recent, and researches one company at a time in a Deep Dive. Every fact it shows links to its source and date.

Who it is for

Sales reps and small sales teams who sell to other businesses, such as contractors, service companies, manufacturers and distributors, and who want to know which companies fit and what is happening at them before they call.

What it does

  • Sales Playbook. You say what you sell, the industries you sell to and where. Everything else starts from it.
  • Prospecting. A list of companies that match your Playbook, from public business listings for every US state and Canadian province, with the facts known about each one.
  • Free checks. For the companies in your list, a free check of their own website and of public records such as building permits (where a city publishes them) and government contract awards.
  • Deep Dive. Research on one company: its own website, public records and a public web search. You get the findings with their sources and dates, a suggested opener and email drafts that you edit before using.
  • Reports. Your own activity: the searches you ran, the free checks, the outcomes you record and your follow-ups.

How a Deep Dive works, and what it does not do

  • It usually takes 55 to 70 seconds.
  • It researches a company only when its listed website is confirmed as the company’s own. When it is not, the Deep Dive says so, searches nothing and uses no credit. Not every company can be researched.
  • It uses a credit only when it finds a dated, sourced development from the past year, or at least three facts relevant to what you sell from the company’s own website or its job postings. Otherwise the credit is returned.
  • A finding is a fact about the company. It is not a sign that the company wants to buy.
  • It does not look up or guess personal email addresses or phone numbers, and it never contacts anyone or sends email for you.

Where the data comes from

  • Public business listings (Overture Maps places) for every US state and Canadian province.
  • Public records: building and trade permits from cities that publish them, US and Canadian government contract awards, and filings by US public companies.
  • The company’s own website.
  • A public web search, run during a Deep Dive. A finding is kept only when its source names the company and holds the words quoted.

The full list of sources and their licences is on Sources and methodology.
