Company data is updated frequently to ensure the most accurate information possible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;"&gt;Company profiles include specialty information like executive biographies,&amp;nbsp;number of employees, sales, year established, and Dun &amp;amp; Bradstreet&amp;#39;s &amp;quot;prescreen score,&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;assessing the risk of delinquent payment. The database offers you unlimited searching, viewing and printing of detailed company profiles with contact information. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;"&gt;The database is especially designed to help you&amp;nbsp;find in-depth company&amp;nbsp;and contact information, find new sales opportunities, conduct marketing research, and identify potential job opportunities. With that in mind, the database includes a Basic Search for simple company lookups, and a Search Designer that lets you search by a combination of over 30 criteria. And using the Million Dollar Database&amp;#39;s File Builder, you can easily download a list of leads in minutes. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;"&gt;The initial search screen is a very simple, with search boxes for company name and location. (On this screen you can also search by phone number or SIC codes if you have that data but no company name.) For more complex searches, choose &amp;quot;advanced search&amp;quot; and choose from the list of criteria (zip code, minority owned, size by sales or employees, etc.). Be sure to click &amp;quot;add to criteria&amp;quot; and then make sure your &amp;quot;current search criteria&amp;quot; contains the ones you chose.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;"&gt;After you click &amp;quot;run search,&amp;quot; you&amp;#39;ll be able to sort the result list, click an entity name for detailed info, and select records to download.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;"&gt;A&amp;nbsp;PDF file&amp;nbsp;with more information on using the database can be found &lt;a href="http://www.harrisinfo.com/download/db_mdd_gettingstarted.pdf"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
