New Sales Acceleration Solution Advances Company’s Leadership in Emergent B2B Market 

Dun & Bradstreet (NYSE: DNB) today announced the launch of D&B Hoovers, an innovative new Sales Acceleration solution to help sales and marketing teams shorten sales cycles, increase win rates, and accelerate revenue growth. Combining Dun & Bradstreet’s largest commercial database with best-in-class prospect intelligence and an intuitive user experience, the solution provides sales and marketing professionals with the dynamic, connected data and analytics they need to go beyond traditional prospecting to more quickly and efficiently engage with customers.
