Hey,
My friend and I are in the midst of setting up a business proposal for a large company (this company is already very well known despite being new) and we're having real trouble finding contact details for anyone above secretaries. We're really trying to keep this hush hush right now, hence the cyptic nature of this message....What I'd like to know is, how do we find out the names and email addresses/telephone numbers of people higher up the chain?

Thanks in advance
 
You could always phone and ask them...

Alternatively - look in the industry press - most will have websites and you can search for the company you're interested in. Quite often these will have quotes by senior management in them.

Also - take a look at their website - maybe there is information there?

If they are a PLC - request a copy of the annual report...

business information services like onesource will get you information like names and contact numbers if it's a ltd company. just do some 'telephone investigating' the gold dust of b2b sales. ring up a couple of times (pref differend ppl in your org and to diff numbers)... first ask for a name... who do i need to contact about ... bleh.

then ring back and try to get hold of them. business development guys do that sort of thing all the time.

bonzodog29: I'm trying to get hold of names and numbers/email addresses/postal addresses, haha...not asking for much am I?

Thanks to everyone for the advice! I'm going to try out everything suggested until I track someone important down :)

Hi Rockett

I would suggest going for one piece of info at a time...

Start by trying to call for the name:

"Hi, I'm just writing a letter to your MD and want to ensure that it is addressed correcly..."

If you get the name it should be a whole lot easier then to ask for or find their email and phone number.

Unfortunately I can't even get a phone number for anyone at this company, only email addresses...and they aren't personal emails of assistants and such, they're general info emails and the like. No one I've emailed through these addresses is interested in giving out even a tidbit of info :(

It may help If I know what info you already have. I take it that you have the company name and telephone number already, we will call the companies one by one and get the desired decision maker, its one of the things we do for our clients, some dont even have telephone numbers so we find them too, but that obviously takes longer.
