QUICK ANSWER

What is decision-maker research?

Decision-maker research identifies the person at a target company who can approve a purchase — usually an owner, founder, executive or department head — and confirms they are currently in that role. Dataverix researches each contact individually and adds their title, business email and LinkedIn profile.

WHAT’S INCLUDED

The right person, not just the right company.

Company lists are easy to find. Knowing who inside each company makes the buying decision is where most lists fail — and where we do our most careful work.

01

Role mapping

We agree which titles and seniority levels count as decision-makers for your offer.

02

Individual research

Each contact is researched one by one, not pulled from a bulk export.

03

Currency check

Confirmed as currently in role through at least two sources.

04

Contact details

Business email, status and LinkedIn URL added for each person.

IDEAL USE CASES

When decision-maker research makes the difference

Account-based campaigns

Several stakeholders mapped inside your priority accounts.

Company lists with no contacts

You know the companies — we find the people.

Owner-run businesses

Reach the owner directly instead of a general inbox.

Larger accounts

Multi-thread across departments to shorten sales cycles.

FAQ

Decision-maker research questions

How do you decide who the decision-maker is?

We agree the target roles with you first, based on what you sell and how your buyers typically purchase.

Can you find more than one contact per company?

Yes — choose one or several roles per account, which is ideal for account-based selling.

What if no suitable contact can be found?

The company is clearly marked “not found” rather than filled with a guess or the wrong role.

Do you research small, owner-run businesses?

Yes. For small businesses the owner is often the decision-maker, and we research them specifically.
