One of the best sources of information on Atlanta companies is a service called Business Wise. It's consists of a web-based system that has detailed information on over 115k firms in the metro Atlanta area.
I've never been able to find a directory system that's more accurate than Business Wise. They keep comprehensive and updated information on each firm. This includes a thorough list of officers, titles and even email addresses.
Business Wise is not a mailing house. Rather, it's a subsciption-based database that you can access to build your own mailing list, contact list, calling list, etc. You can shape the data the way that you one using all types of criteria.
The downside of the service is the cost. For full access, the pricing is around $14k/year with a low end at around $7k...depending upon the kind of information you're looking for. The pricing makes the service geared for companies a little bigger in size. You do have an option, which a number of sales reps take advantage of- Business Wise has an agreement with the library system to provide the service for free online at most Atlanta area libraries. The free service has a lot of limitations, but I still find it to be valuable at times.
Have you used Business Wise? What is your opinion?
