When you go to the Manta website, you will be greeted with a Small Business promotion.
I use Manta to find out more information about a company that I find on Thomasnet or Google.
When you go onto manta.com, you will see the field: "Find Companies, Products, Services". You can enter the name of a company you are researching, or you can enter a product you are looking for, or a service.
Next you enter a geographical area you want to search. You can name a specific city or state; or you can enter a qualifier like "Near Boston"; or "Near 01069". You can be as general or specific as you want.
If the company you are looking for has entered information about their company, you may find the name of the owner, the address and telephone number. This is great information for prospecting.
The problem with Google or Thomasnet is that you don't usually get a contact. With Manta, you almost always get the name of the owner and, if the company has been diligent, gives a lot more information--like number of employees and their sales volume.
These three tools will make you a great prospector.
Next, tools to help you remember.
