USE CASE:

Dutch companies and the cost of target lists

Here is how target lists for Dutch companies actually gets done, what it costs each way, and where each way stops working. Mamba Labs writes Apify actors for work like this, and Company Discovery List Builder is the one that reads Dutch companies.

What is actually going wrong

Dutch companies and target lists: one at a time is fine, and a list of them is not. Any target lists method has to survive this: Dutch companies file, publish and advertise under local rules that no global dataset models properly. Know this about Dutch companies before any target lists: coverage from any vendor drops off a cliff outside the English speaking market. Company Discovery List Builder carries 1 ready made setup for target lists on Dutch companies.

What is at stake

Buying a list of the Dutch companies gets you the same rows your competitors bought last month.

Doing it end to end

  1. Start with one of Dutch companies you already know, so a wrong target lists answer is obvious rather than plausible.
  2. Run Company Discovery List Builder across your list of Dutch companies, which carries 1 ready made setup for target lists.
  3. Read ten rows of target lists on Dutch companies by hand before you trust the rest of the list.

Traditional Search Tools

  • The national company register, for Dutch companies. Free, authoritative, and in its own language.
  • Apollo, Cognism or a database export. Ten thousand rows in an afternoon. The filters are firmographic, so what you get is a category rather than a market, and every competitor can pull the same export.
  • LinkedIn Sales Navigator saved searches. The filters are better than most databases and the export path is deliberately awkward. Good for named accounts, painful for volume.
  • Public registers and filings. Free, unfashionable, and full of companies nobody else is prospecting because they are annoying to get at.
  • Conference and association directories. A membership list is a qualified list somebody else already built.
  • Start from your customers. Take your twenty best accounts, work out what they share that is observable from outside, and go looking for that. Half a day, and it is the highest quality list you will ever build.
