How to find a decision maker's direct phone number
The main line goes to a front desk. The general inbox goes nowhere. To reach a decision maker you need two things: the right person, and a number that rings on their desk or phone.
1. Start from the company
Search the company by name, industry or location. In Pouncie, searching is free, so look around before you spend anything.
2. Pick the person by role, not by guess
Look at everyone who works there with their titles. The person who signs is usually a head of the team you sell to, not the most senior name on the list.
3. Reveal the direct line
Reveal the direct phone for 2 credits. If it turns out to be a wrong number or disconnected, report it and get the credit back.
4. Know how to talk to them
A DISC read tells you whether this person wants the bottom line first, a friendly chat, a steady plan or the details. It takes the guesswork out of your opener.
5. Call when they are at their desk
Early morning and late afternoon in their time zone work best for most roles. Keep the first call short and ask for the next step.
