Onvia Contact Lists enable sales and marketing professionals to target the most influential decision makers, buyers and procurement agents in the public sector

Seattle, WA /PRNewswire/ - Onvia (NASDAQ: ONVI), the leading provider of sales intelligence and acceleration technologies for businesses selling to the public sector, today announced the availability of On Demand Reports: Contact Lists to new and existing Onvia clients. Onvia Contact Lists draw from a database of hundreds of thousands of active buyers and decision makers at all levels of government, including federal, state, local and educational agencies. Onvia is the only data provider that can link contacts to relevant past purchase behavior, enabling sales and marketing leaders to better target and connect with the most influential decision makers and buyers in the public sector.

"The most successful sales and marketing professionals pursuing government contracts know that it's no longer effective to only monitor currently open bids and RFPs," said Russ Mann, CEO at Onvia. "Instead, they make a point to proactively target, prospect and engage with agency buyers, procurement agents, influencers and decision makers. With Onvia Contact Lists business leaders can build better pipelines, execute highly targeted go-to-market campaigns and grow their sales to the public sector."
