Key facts
- Search the company in a contact database by name, then filter by title for owner, president or the manager over what you sell.
- Small businesses often skip team pages, but the people still show up in business records.
- Pick one named person and get their direct email or mobile.
- At a bigger one, the person who runs the department your offer helps.
Where else do the names show up?
Business filings, local news, review replies, the About page story and social profiles. A contact database brings these together so you do not have to dig one site at a time.
Which title should I pick?
At a small company, the owner. At a bigger one, the person who runs the department your offer helps. If two people fit, start with the more senior one.
What if nobody shows up?
Call the main line and ask who handles it. Then search that name. A short, polite call is often the fastest route.
