UK Professional Services B2B Data & Contact Lists
UK Professional Services B2B Data & Contact Lists
Professional services covers a wide range of businesses, from accountancy practices and law firms to consultancies, agencies and specialist advisers.
AccuraData provides targeted B2B data for professional services firms across the UK, helping you identify the organisations and senior contacts most relevant to your sales campaign.
Build your audience around factors such as professional specialism, location, firm size and decision-maker role, so your sales team can focus on the businesses most likely to need what you offer.
Professional Services Is Not One Market
A regional accountancy practice, national law firm, recruitment agency and management consultancy all sell expertise, but they operate very differently.
Their structures vary. Their purchasing priorities vary. The people involved in buying decisions vary too.
That makes broad targeting less useful.
A software supplier may want accountancy practices of a particular size. A commercial insurer could focus on legal and consultancy firms. A recruitment provider may be more interested in larger agencies or professional businesses with growing teams.
The value of professional services data lies in being able to separate those different types of firm and build an audience around the organisations that make sense for your proposition.
Instead of starting with a generic list of professional businesses, you can begin with a clearer view of who you actually want to reach.
Need a More Specific Professional Services Audience?
For many campaigns, “professional services” is still too broad.
You may need independent accountancy firms rather than large practices, commercial law firms rather than general legal businesses, specialist recruiters rather than general agencies, or consultancies working within a particular area.
You may also want to reach architects, surveyors, HR consultancies, insolvency practitioners or other professional advisers.
The useful audience depends on the kind of organisation most likely to buy from you.
Tell us the types of firms you want to reach and the characteristics that matter to your campaign. We can then look at how that market can be narrowed using the available data.
What Can Be Included In An Professional Services Database?
A professional services database can combine firm-level information with relevant business contacts to give your sales team a more useful prospecting base.
Depending on the audience and information available, records may include firm name, postal address, telephone number, website, business classification, geographic information and indicators relating to employee numbers, turnover or overall firm size.
Professional contact information can also be included where suitable data is available.
The most valuable role will depend on what you sell.
A software company may want managing partners, operations contacts or IT decision-makers. A recruitment business may need senior management or HR contacts. A marketing supplier could focus on marketing directors, while a commercial service provider may want finance, procurement or practice-management contacts.
Who Sells to Professional Services Firms?
Professional services businesses may sell expertise, but they also buy a wide range of products and services to run their own organisations.
That includes software, telecoms, commercial insurance, office technology, recruitment, training, finance, cybersecurity, printing, marketing, facilities support and other professional services.
The most useful prospect audience depends on the supplier.
A cloud provider may want larger legal or accountancy firms. A recruiter could focus on consultancies or agencies with growing teams. An insurer may be interested in professional practices within specific sectors or size bands.
That is why a targeted database tends to be more useful than a broad directory of professional firms.
Professional Services B2B Data For Every Campaign
Once the right firms have been identified, the data can support email, telephone and direct-mail campaigns.
Email data can help you reach relevant professional contacts with messages tailored to the type of firm being targeted. Telephone data can support outbound sales by helping teams identify suitable businesses and senior decision-makers before making contact. Postal data can also be used for brochures, event invitations, service information and other physical communications where appropriate.
The right channel mix will depend on the audience, the proposition and the applicable marketing requirements.
Compliant Professional Services B2B Data
Professional services firms can include different business structures, so marketing rules should be considered in the context of both the organisation and the person being contacted.
Where professional contact information constitutes personal data, businesses should consider their obligations under the UK GDPR.
The Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations may also be relevant depending on the marketing channel and recipient.
Telephone campaigns may require appropriate TPS or CTPS screening. Email marketing requirements can vary according to the type of subscriber or organisation being contacted. Suppression processes and objections to direct marketing should also be handled appropriately.
It is therefore better to assess the data, recipient, channel and campaign together than rely on a blanket claim that a database is simply “GDPR compliant”.
AccuraData can also provide supporting services such as telephone screening and database cleansing where required.
When Did You Last Clean Your Professional Services Database?
Professional services databases can become outdated surprisingly quickly.
Partners move between firms, agencies rebrand, practices merge, offices close, new locations open and job responsibilities change.
If your CRM has built up over several years, it may contain firms that no longer match the audience you originally intended to target.
AccuraData’s data cleansing, enrichment and appending services can help review existing records, identify incomplete or outdated information and add suitable data where available.
That can help turn an ageing prospect database into a more useful base for future campaigns.
Start With More Than a Generic Business List
The aim is not simply to give you as many professional services businesses as possible.
It is to identify the firms most relevant to the sales opportunity.
That means thinking about what kind of business you want, how large it should be, where it should operate and which people are likely to influence the buying decision.
A supplier targeting regional accountancy practices needs a different audience from one selling into national law firms.
Starting with those distinctions helps create a database that is more practical for sales teams to use.
Define The Professional Firms You Want To Reach
Tell us what your ideal prospect looks like.
That could be accountancy practices within selected regions, law firms above a particular size, recruitment agencies across the UK or specialist consultancies with a specific business profile.
We can use that brief to identify suitable targeting criteria and build a B2B professional services database aligned with your campaign.
The result is a clearer prospect audience and less time spent filtering businesses that were never a good fit in the first place.
There is also a big risk from not buying B2B data from the right sources. You’ll end up calling businesses on the CTPS register, or you may find that the ICO will take issue with the data that you’re using. This could result in enforcement action being taken against your business, which can include steep fines.
Don’t just blindly buy data, do your research, or let us help you! We have extensive relationships with reputable and reliable suppliers. This means that you will always get your data on time and the quality of the files you buy will be even higher. The amount of money you save when calling good data over bad data is enough to justify this.
The process of actually getting your file is simple. You ask for a quote, once you’re happy, we’ll run a count on your requirement. Then, we will invoice you and once paid, you will have your new file within 48-hours (It’s normally quicker than that)!
Another big worry for many people who buy, is that they get ignored when there is a problem with their order. With us, you never have to worry about this. Our team is dedicated to making sure that our customers enjoy profit from our data and high satisfaction.
