Winmo Reviews

Winmo not only helps me to keep a strong pulse on the business world, with features like WinmoEdge (which I look at every single morning), but more importantly, it helps me to find the right person at a company to connect with.

Going a step further, features like Crystal Insight allow me to view that individual’s personality traits and even provides me with advice on how to communicate with them to yield the highest rate of success. It is absolutely incredible.

I have used a number of different companies in the past claiming to provide similar services, but nothing has come close to the actual resources, accuracy and RESULTS of Winmo.

My company is a sponsor based company dedicated to donating gear to public high schools. Although I believe there is a lot of value in Winmo, as a small company it is a large expense and the money that we are allocating is coming from budget to run other programs and get more gear, in hopes of being able to attract more sponsors. It would be great if there were ways to apply for discounted rates.

Do it!

We are 100% sponsor based as a company, so we utilize Winmo to bring new partners on to keep our existing programs alive and create new programs that benefit public high school students. We have made contact with a number of brands with the prospect of sponsorship, along with partnerships with brands who act as strategic partners in lieu of financial contribution.

Over the past several years, I have used Winmo to uncover the best decision makers for my work in corporate fundraising. Of all the research tools, I have used in my career I have found Winmo to be the most reliable and up-to-date on the best contact names within corporate organizations for me to connect with. I am pleased to share that on more than one occasion, I have secured funding from national and regional contacts discovered using Winmo that otherwise would not have been available to me. Additionally, I find the Winmo Talk feature one of the most useful industry group “chat” tools I have ever used. The Winmo team is always responsive when I need assistance or help and is incredibly mindful at managing my membership, reaching out regularly to check in.

Quite honestly - because I am such a loyal user, I dont really have much to complain about. Find the interface easy to use and the downloading of contacts is a breeze.

Uncovering new sponsorship opportunities using Winmo Edge. I feel the information is informative and uptodate on what corporate entities are doing in the realm of sponsorship

Winmo gives me direction in my day and opens my eyes to prospects I had never considered.

Email accuracy issues and the lack of lead downloads that my team is allowed.

If your job consists of prospecting/sellings/client relationships, this is the tool for you. The search and filtering components of Winmo make it easy to dissect one industry or territory at a time, which is a lot of what my personal job consists of. I target one state at a time or the finance industry one day then the travel industry the next. This tool helps me to separate my lists and give me accurate data that I need in that situation.

I am able to uncover more about the clients we currently work with and the agencies and clients we hope to work with. I know who is working on what accounts, which saves me time and saves the person I am reaching out to time.

I think the customer service and training has been great, making sure the whole team was onboarded and using the system correctly was so helpful. The actual usability of the platform as well is amazing - from the look and feel to the actual search & create a list function, to WinmoTalk & WinmoEdge, every tool has been beneficial to our team and myself.

The only thing I dislike is that sometimes there are people missing, or titles/emails slightly wrong, etc. But I will say they're great about updating if you report something missing/wrong, and I'm sure it's not easy to keep the whole system up-to-date at all times.

I'm using Winmo to find contacts for brands I'd like to partner with, as well as learn more about what's happening in the industry for specific brands via WinmoEdge. I haven't tied any specific revenue to them but have countless leads I'm working on at all times thanks to their contacts and information, and I know my coworkers have reported the same.

Winmo helps me and the rest of the team find the right contacts at a company. It makes it easy to confirm the contact on LinkedIn by adding their LinkedIn profile to their Winmo profile. As well, their phone numbers are easy to find.

I love the addition of WinmoEdge to find new articles about prospects and clients in the space.

I have used other companies in the past that provide similar services, but Winmo has a much larger number of companies/contacts in their database. As well, the quality of their contacts and companies are great!

The price of Winmo is definitely a large expense for a start-up. As well, previous companies will provide the service of putting together contact lists as a complementary service. The amount they charge per contact is a bit pricy compared to our old service

As well, some contacts are added without emails which wastes our number of downloads.

Lack of smaller companies information.

Definitely try it out!

I am able to find more information about the clients we currently work with as well as the agencies and clients that my company is trying to work with for future opportunities.

Winom is so easy to use, it truly allows a sales or marketing person to get to the heart of the matter, understand the granular data required for business development, and take action. The platform makes it so simple to build and export lists, making campaign building fast and problem free.

I wish Winmo included lower level employees in their lists, sometimes it feels like I am required to reach out to more senior members of ad ops or trafficking teams when I'm simply looking for a lower level contact.

Reach out! They have great customer service.

I use Winmo to find out what brands certain agencies are working with, to find out contact information, and to prospect. There is a huge benefit to having all of the above information sourced in one place.

Winmo has their act together. They provide consistently updated, insightful, and economically organized information. It allows a sales or marketing person to get to the heart of the matter, digest the meat and potatoes data required for business development, and take action.

No matter what the effort, data could always and forever be more complete and accurate than it is. I don't like when I don't know 100% of the info and contact info avail. That said, I am a tuff critic, and Winmo is 80 to 90% effective in most cases.

Winmo provides solid product and service.

Winmo helps me to sell to strangers. I can't rely only on people I already know. Winmo tells me who is where, what they might be interested in, and I can reach out from there and attempt to sell.

I like the mix of the latest news & ability to find the appropriate contact within an Account. All information is up to date and accurate and it often is a great convo starter when cold-calling or reaching out to a client you haven't spoken to in a while.

I am overall happy with Winmo. It would be nice if they expanded the competitive spend per media format in more depth.

This is the most up-to-date resource I have found as a salesperson.

Finding contacts, email addresses, how you are connected mutually on LinkedIn, latest news and account shifts. I also find this a great tool when prospecting new accounts, as the highlights of the day include new accounts that are spending.

The platform makes it so simple to build and export lists, making campaign building fast and problem free.

I really don't have any problems. I would like to be able to customize the format of prospect exports, so as to easily integrate into multiple CRM or email tools.

Do you want to find multiple verified prospects at almost any brand you can think of? WinMo is for you. Building prospect lists is a one-click process, as is exporting those lists for your marketing, sales, and tracking goals. Additionally, the WinMo Edge service provides to-the-minute news allowing your team to stay up-to-date with movement in your industry.

We are able to prospect potential customers at 99% of the brands in our target market. It has made it easy to build segmented lists and turn those lists around for sales and marketing outreach.

I really enjoy the easy navigation throughout Winmo. With one quick search, you can find one contact, or an entire team. The list building feature helps me stay organized based on the client whose information I am looking to find. This is perfect for when I have big projects and need to compile lists of thousands of contacts at once. With just a few clicks, I have all of the information about a specific contact. What I really enjoy is that Winmo is a tool that has a mostly all of a person's information. I find this useful because not only can you review email addresses, but phone number and addresses for future use. When we uploaded our contacts to Salesforce, hardly any of the leads created were failed. This is very important, and I appreciate that all of the data Winmo has available is accurate. What I found really helpful was the feature where Winmo separates the client by brand & company.

The only feature I dislike is the ability to only download a list once. If you download a list once and export it again, the number of downloads doubles. I found this somewhat of a pain point because if I have my exported lists saved on only one device, I don't have access to them on other devices unless I transfer the information. If we were able to download without being penalized, it would save

I would definitely recommend this to others! I've never used a tool that pulls thousands of emails all at once. What a time saver, and an efficient way to reach your contacts and quickly. If you are totally unfamiliar with the contact, I love that Winmo Edge pulls news articles about that specific client. What I found really helpful was the feature where Winmo separates the client by brand & company.

This is extremely useful for someone who works in sales (like myself.) By using Winmo, I can find pretty much any contact at any given company or agency without having to go through a typical Google or LinkedIn search. By using Winmo, I am saving hours of my work day. The "list builder" feature allows me to group multitudes of contacts all at once. By exporting straight to Salesforce, we have all of the information which allows us to market our product to prospective clients without clouding their inboxes.

Winmo is user-friendly (it's easy to see the most important information I need such as an agency's discipline, holding company, address, main phone number, number of employees, etc.), it generally has up to date information about agency/brand contacts (though I know these folks bounce around a lot so it's impossible to track that accurately 100% of the time), agency/brand spend, and allows me to see the information I need with a minimum number of clicks. The integration with Winmo Edge is also fantastic. I love getting my Edge emails everyday and like being able to search for stories based on my relevant territory.

At times there is incomplete, or incorrect, information about agency/brand relationships and agency/brand contacts. I really wish that the brands the specific agency office locations worked on were accurately depicted on the agency's brand relationships list. Sometimes they're only listed on the HQ page and that doesn't tell me a lot about what accounts each office focuses on.

I definitely recommend Winmo to anyone who is considering paying for a similar service. The user-interface is great and there's a wealth of information to be found about agencies, brands, and companies.

I'm using Winmo to quickly find out what brands agencies are working with, to source contact information, and to prospect. The benefit is that I'm able to save time by finding all of this information in one place.

Winmo has an extensive database with accurate contact information. I love how it all ties together with agencies companies and brands. It's also cool that it is tied to DailyVista so you can not only keep up with the daily happenings in the industry, but you can also be alerted when the agencies you are following are mentioned in an article. One last thing I'll mention is the customer service is incredibly responsive and very helpful. I've had a few questions and/or issues in the past and they immediately got back to me with a resolution.

I would like to see more lower level contacts, particularly traffic people at the agencies. With the type of service my company offers, we often will have to connect with someone in the Traffic Department. Although I can start with my outreach to the Business Affairs people or Marketing Directors, they often will refer me to the Traffic team. Also, I'd like to see integration with the SalesforceIQ app.

I highly recommend using Winmo, especially if you are prospecting and want accurate info.

Great place to build contact lists and figure out which agencies are working with which brands and vice versa.

Userfriendliness of the dashboard is a big plus. It's possible to open up Winmo and use it immediately because it's so intuitive. The info is very complete, and to my knowledge also more accurate than what you find in most other places.

Some of the most useful parts in the dashboard include:

- Overview of digital displays

- Existing agency relationships

- Current and past Media Spend

- Target Brand Social Following

- Social Connections via LinkedIn

It would be fantastic if Winmo included another section breaking down the products and services the target company markets and additional data around these. Might be that this is asking for too much though and overall I would classify this as something that would make Winmo better rather than something that I currently dislike.

If you have an organized target customer list and understand your ideal client profile, then you're already set up to succeed with Winmo

I use Winmo in weighing my priorities when contacting or distributing leads. It's been instrumental in using my time most efficiently and maximizing efficiency in my outreach. Over time, I have no doubt using Winmo will continue to have a positive impact on the width and depth of our pipeline as a business.

I like that you are able to toggle between a brand/companies contacts and their agency contacts. There seems to be more companies, brands, and agencies on Winmo, which is a huge advantage for me. In addition to that, I like the predictive search function and Winmo Talk has been extremely helpful. I think Winmo Talk is a huge asset for any company; it's basically an expanded network of people willing to share their contacts with you! Additionally, I love the reporting function. I have been able to export companies, agencies and their decision makers to my own prospecting document.

There are not many dislikes... I'd love to see more of the major brands (i.e. Kellogg's, Unilever, P&G, etc.) shopper marketing information included Winmo. In addition, if you could add the shopper marketing agencies that coincide with those brands or that coincide with a major retailer like Walmart, Sam's Club, Kroger, etc., that would be a huge help to me.

I recommend that you at the very least take a trial of the program. You will really see how helpful it can be from a sales and prospecting standpoint.

I have been able to make more connections with agencies that handle bring brands media buying and planning. Making these connections have resulted in new business sales.

- The newsletter function is great since it keeps you updated about any company changes

- Accounts on the Move

- direct connection to LinkedIn is very helpful to connect with your new contact

- setup of the page is great

- since I work in a global organization I am in need for global prospects, while it's great that you can search for specific global job functions, it would be great to also get access to global media budgets, market activity, etc.

- contacts are not always updated

Great layout of search function

I am looking for US brands and agencies that are looking to spend advertising budgets on presence in other markets (global media buying)

I like how I can filter it to my specific geographical region for sales. If I don't choose the filter, I end up doing a lot of time-consuming reading. The information is always really good and very well-written, so I enjoy spending time on the site -- but the filter saves a lot of time. Also -- their customer service is incredibly responsive. They have helped me save time and be more productive.

To be honest, I'm not sure there is anything I dislike. This isn't a knock on them, but I can find myself spending a lot of time on this site just because it is well-written and very informative. So -- if there is a "dislike" -- it could be that it's too well done and I end up spending more time there than necessary.

There is a lot of information on this site -- good information, but a lot. Make sure you use your filters to save time...with all of the information -- which is well-written and very informative -- it can end up taking a lot of your time.

Getting decision maker names and contact information is huge. Not having to go through a gate keeper is a huge time-saver for me.

The Research Request capability is a huge plus in Wimno. Often times I come across an advertiser that I cannot find in the system and they get back to be pretty quickly with the info I ask for.

Cant export Media spend by Quarter and there's no option to pick which ones you want to export. The print profile only breaks it out by year and includes all media.

This has all the info you need on brands/advertisers in one place. If any further info is needed their research team can get back to you within 48 hours.

Getting an idea of the total spend for companies and each brand that falls under them.

The plethora of information Winmo has to offer is quite impressive, and the response time whenever I have an inquiry is lightning fast. Whether I need help with a contact, an AOR change, a promotion, etc., usually able to get an answer almost immediately, and if further research is necessary, I'm always pleased with what I get back.

The fact that Winmo does not include target demo can be annoying/ troublesome (Ad Data Express included target/ guaranteed demo information, which I wish Winmo also included with each profile.

The software truly is great for the type of business we do/ the industry we are a part of; however, I do think Winmo should do a little better job of staying on top of who is associated with which accounts / agencies. I have noticed on several occasions someone is no longer with an agency/ client listed; also, as mentioned the demos would be a huge plus. Overall, would certainly recommend this product, in conjunction with maybe one or two more industry search tools.

Contacts, agency assignments, promotions/ linear shifts, among other things.

I love that Winmo is connected to LinkedIn. It makes it easy to see if I'm connected with anyone in the company I'm researching.

That some but not many of the contacts are outdated or don't have an email address. It's very far and few between that I find this happening but it does happen from time to time.

If you need a tool to help find the right connections at some of the biggest agencies and clients in the country, give Winmo a try. Again it helps but it doesn't solve all of your needs.

Making meaningful connections with the right people at the companies I'm trying to reach.

The ability to see spend across screens. Seeing spend across TV, newspaper, magazine AND search/display is valuable with developing larger multi product client pitches.

Need more depth in mobile spend data by medium, For mobile display I'd like to see what creative looked like, where it ran, and what was spent. comScore quit reporting in this format a few years back slowing down the efforts of new entrants in the market to try and upset the applecart. I hope that in the near future we'll be able to download search spend data as well.

Depending on the services you sell (Search, Display, Print of any kind), you may need additional services to get the level of detail you need to properly prepare for client pitch work.

Getting to the appropriate brand/agency contacts quicker, building smarter proposals based on industry trades information.

Winmo has allowed our team to prospect new agency clients like never before. We can easily search by industry, size and media spend to hone in on decision makers that we want to work with. It has mad prospecting a breeze.

People move companies often, and I believe Winmo updates their data every 6 months or so. It would be nice if they either 1) updated more often or, 2) allowed users to request info more often.

Its worth it. Even having the insights for a year will help you grow as a company. We utilized alerts to reach out to prospects when the time was right, and would back up our outreach with the media spend data that WinMo provides.

Winmo collects data on media spend, media vehicle, and sometimes even 'who spent what for who,' which has allowed us to enter meetings with more direct knowledge about their past experience, and tailor solutions for them specifically.

I've been using Winmo for over 8 years and I am not sure what I would do without it. I can easily search for prospects, find contacts, direct lines, e-mail addresses and I can search for any recent press about the prospect before I reach out for the first time. For a media salesperson, this is my favorite lead source.

The only thing that I wish I could upgrade is the access to smaller accounts.

If you lead a sales team that needs to find the right contacts and their agencies, this is the source for it. My company even conducted an audit to make sure that the contacts are up to date and found that 99% of the contacts had been updated within the last 2 months.

Being in sales, WinMo provides me with easy access to hard-to-find contacts and their contact information.

Winmo allows me to do most of my research in one place so I'm educated before I approach a prospect. One of the most appreciated and convenient features is export to Salesforce.

When exporting data to Salesforce, creating a new account vs existing account is super confusing. Most don't get how that works because it's not obvious so it forces a lot of dups into Salesforce.

Take advantage of the free training

I'm able to fully educate myself bout a prospect before I make a call. Because I can do a deep dive in one place, it saves time and helps me to creates intelligent communication.

I love Winmo Sales Edge! It keeps me updated on what is happening in the industry and with certain advertisers. Winmo is super user friendly and easy to navigate as well.

It is a little difficult searching through pages and pages of agencies for certain companies, I would like to see a more clear indication of linear, digital, creative (etc) agency contacts for advertisers.

Take the time to do the training webinar! It was super helpful when I was first learning to use the product.

Lead generation, account research-- the biggest benefit by far is the ability to research certain contacts at certain companies.

The depth and breadth of information is strong. And if you have a prospect you're circling, there is a ton of good information to weed through and use to create points of contact.

There's so much information that I don't need, it's hard to sort through to get to what I do need. Plus, if you understand prospect development at all, you know that getting the email address of a decision maker can often do you more harm than good. I would REALLY love a feature that integrated search consultants into the profile mix for larger pieces of business. If they used Pile or SRI or Avidan in their most recent pitches, that would be amazingly helpful, too.

It helps me understand what the landscape looks like. It also is a good primer for what is out there about my clients.

I like that I get the contact information for all the major decision makers easily. This is half the battle when reaching out to a client! Winmo makes it easy and for that I love the program!

I dislike that not all of the information is correct. While I know it's difficult to keep all of it updated, it can be frustrating when you really need to get in touch with a company and don't have any viable listed to contact.

I'm on the west coast and sometimes it's frustrating that the customer service is only on eastern standard time, I like to get results immediately, otherwise it's all great!

I am able to reach more people, quicker. This is obviously so important in sales and new business development.

Winmo is my contact bible. Not only do I utilize it to gain contact information for the potential clients I am working to get but also allows me to learn about other companies and their strategies. It has opened up my research strategy and given me the tools necessary to make the right connection. Along with DailyVista, Winmo is always open on my computer to double check contact info and more often used as the first connecting source for my leads. I love the way it gives you more than just emails and allows you to learn about your prospects at the same time. It is my most used tool and I recommend it to everyone in sales.

I think the overall friendliness of the site allows me to navigate the site without any complains. I would like to be able to use Winmo on my mobile device.

There is nothing to think about. Winmo provides all the tools necessary to connect with all the companies you are seeking to start a relationship with. It gives you useful information along with the contacts. It is truly a sales tool that you must have.

Winmo allows me to use my time wisely and gives me the tools necessary to acquire the contact information for my potential clients. Not only is it a great contact tool but gives me information to learn about the companies and be able to amplify my strategies when contacting them. I definitely see less errors in emails coming back to me as Winmo provides very accurate information. With the time saved, I am able to contact more people and increase my sales.

I think the customer service team and the quick response times on leads that are incorrect is phenomenal. Any time there is an issue, the team is quick to respond and gets me the right contact that I am looking for.

The lack of information on emerging brands. As a growing agency, a lot of high quality conversations are developed with emerging brands looking for market share.

Access to contacts we don't have at major companies. We can be competitive with industry titans as a result of the access to key contact information and data points about brands and spending habits.

I like that I can see my prospects current and previous advertising budgeting.

A lot of information I don't need but that isnt a big issue.

This is a great product for all your marketing, sales, and customer success employees. Consider having all of this knowledge at your finger tips. How nice is it to know if you are talking to the correct DM, NDM, Influencer, etc. Also isn't it nice to have an understanding on what the client is budgeting and in what categories: broadcast, print, display, digital, radio, search, etc.

Hunting the right budgets

WinmoEdge articles give great insight to brands and the advertising industry. You get to see who has budgets, where they are spending, and tehn are given contacts to reach out to!

Contacts at the agencies are often updated, and it's hard to know who works on what accounts as that is always changing.

Reading WinmoEdge articles teach me about the industry and who is spending, and then I can dig deep and look at the brand and get contacts (emails) of people at the brand and at their buying agencies to help target my sales pitches

I like the fact that I can search by categories and then segment my markets and find the contacts within those markets. Great user experience!

I wish Winmo offered information from other countries (Europe and South America).

It's a great software. You will dive into a sea of information, so my recommendation is to focus on specific target markets each week, so you don't get overwhelmed.

It's easy for me to find marketing executives at top companies like Nike and Visa. Otherwise I would be having to guess their contact info.

The fact that I can prospect new business. I also look to it to find who the client contact is and agency contact so that i can set meetings with the right people.

I wish you could type in a name of a person and see where they are. I wish it would indicate best person to call in the media team. In other words, titles are diff in every company so if it knows I am looking for the media decision maker, it should just bold that out.

prospecting!

Winmo is very user friendly, and contains all of the information I need. They have fantastic customer service, and perks that include special requests for contacts that aren't already on their system. The information is refreshed regularly, which is a must in our industry where folks change jobs often.

Sometimes smaller regional brands or agencies aren't included.

We use it for event speaker and sponsor recruitment. It opens the doors to more contacts than we would have on our own. It's like having our own research team. Also, the salesforce integration is wonderful.

There is easy access from email updates. I appreciate that Client and Agency info available. I also appreciate the work done by WINMO to find contact at client and agencies.

I'd like to see more Public Relations agency contact info for clients. As PR becomes even more important to content development, I'd like to see more of the PR agency contacts that are affiliated with what client.

WINMO helps me quickly garner client contact information - address, phone, email in addition to ad spend and agencies affiliated with the client.

Anyone working with national brands can find a ton of great info about clients and prospects on Winmo. I use it primarily for business overview information such as annual sales revenue and trends as well as for advertising expenditure data for measured media.

When brands or private companies are not included or have only sketchy data

it's a good source

Account prep and planning, prioritization and targeting. It's a big help to know what a brand spends on digital and search advertising, typically it dwarf their investment with our company

The ppersonality insight provided on a profile arms you to prepare accordingly when meeting with them.

The short trial period. I would have loved to have been able to check other companies that I work with to access the information that I know to be current.

You can't choose a better software than Winmo for your sales team.

People are in transition and lead information on other platforms is outdated. Winmo profiles are relevant and provide all the necessary intel needed on a company and key business executives to communicate business opportunities. Best lead source by far for a sales organization.

I love WinmoEdge - it allows me to stay up to date with the most recent media news, and does it in a very concise and easy-to-read way.

There are not many things that I dislike, the only change I would make would be for click-throughs to open a new tab so I don't have to click back and forth when looking at various brands.

I use Winmo to stay up to date on what's happening in the media world. In addition, I use it very heavily for research- brand media spend, looking up brand contacts, etc. There are so many benefits of using it including the ability to get contact information for brands.

I like knowing I'll almost always find several options for the types of contacts I'm looking for. I'm able to approach Winmo with confidence that emails and phone numbers are good, and the search functions clear and simple.

At this point, I don't think Winmo integrates with the HubSpot CRM, so downloading into Excel and uploading again with column re-labeling is a little painful. But, definitely not a deal-breaker and I hope Winmo will consider working with HubSpot someday, as it does Salesforce.

If your prospects are in the advertising and marketing arenas, Winmo is the best option out there. We searched hard and trialed several others, and all fell down on quantity/quality of emails and phone numbers, not to mention accurate contacts. The added Winmo news and talk features are wonderful, and we find the advertising spend data most valuable. We think it is a terrific system.

We are in a very, very vertical niche industry - advertising effectiveness measurement. Our target prospects are very high-level analytics and marketing folks at agencies and companies. These people are not reachable through LinkedIn or other databases we've looked at. So far, our 'delivered' and 'open' rates are much higher since using Winmo.

Not only is the staff and company extraordinary, but the service itself is spot on. The crew goes above and beyond to assist you in every way they can and the info they provide is unparallel to anything else out there

the price lol, that is really it. I am a small business and it takes a chunk, but worth it

Try it and you will see for yourself

I have true and direct contact with the people I need to speak to and build relationships with. I get incredible and timely new and industry updates that help me stay on top of the latest happenings and what concerns me and my business

Well-timed, relevant updates on key accounts that give me an edge in my correspondences. Overall- makes me more confident in the strength of my outreach

The only thing I dislike is the occasional inaccurate contact, or agency update. Not all articles are specific t my industry and lead to some clutter- but that is easily addressable.

Do not bucket it as a contact resource, see it as both a database for contacts as well as an industry publication for research and insights. Winmo is a strategy partner.

The main business problem is timing in my prospecting, this has been resolved. The main benefit is keeping my outreach relevant and well-timed

Winmo has been a great resource for finding agencies, clients, contacts and more. They have been responsive when I have posed questions to them (i.e. I thought person XX shifted to a new company and I need her new email address).

The fact that it lists out all agencies tied to a particular brand is helpful also - such as social, AOR, creative, etc.

It's hard to keep up with all the changes. I realize that they can only stalk companies so many times a year ... just wish there was a way to get dynamic updates as to what is getting updated in my territories!

For many companies and agencies - not all people are accounted for - meaning, they may have the VP listed, but no one else on the team.

Positive tool for the team - just need to dig in and start using it!

Searching for the right contacts at agencies, finding who to go to to continue the sales process.

The WinmoEdge is sent to me every morning with new stories. I can find out who the decision maker is and what their upcoming campaign is about. This includes audience targets so I can gear my message towards their campaign and make my communication relevant to them. The ease of use is incredible. I've had trials for a few other tools and they were hard to navigate. Winmo is easy from the start. I can also see the usage of the other users, this makes it easy to see who is actually using this tool and who isn't.

I really don't like that they don't have contacts for a lot of new companies. New products show up in mt Facebook news feed and Winmo most likely doesn't have any contact information for them. I also feel that they do not remove contacts that are no longer at the company. I find myself having to cross reference with LinkedIn to make sure they haven't moved.

I have one person I deal with for support or any questions I have. This makes my life so much easier. In my position, it is frustrating to deal with multiple contacts for one tool. Winmo makes it easier.

Winmo gives my organization the ability to search for their own contacts in real time. Instead of purchasing a list, we can search based on what we "hear through the grapevine." It is the most cost effective tool when it comes to quality prospecting.

Winmo in general is a great tool, however, the ability to see the agency relationships at not only the corporate level, but the brand level is a great feature. Another of the great features is the ability to see the individuals LinkedIn profile within the individuals contact information - this provides an instantaneous check to make sure the individual is still with the company and the correct title is listed.

I do not like that there is no hierarchy - it would be nice to have this to see who reports into who. It would also be nice to be able to update the leads we have in Salesforce automatically if the individual is also in Winmo; or at least be able to compare the date we have in Salesforce with what is in Winmo.

If you are looking for a tool that easily implements into Salesforce.com, contains media/revenue spend at the company level and brand level along with agency relationships, this is the tool for you!

At this time we have not encountered any business problems. The benefits are simply what I mentioned above, being able to see agency relationships is one of the key things for us.

I really like how it gives a contact of contacts for each company. It allows you to pick and choose who you feel is the most appropriate person to target/engage. Also, I appreciate all the insight/data it provides for each company such as detailing previous media spend, any new campaigns that were recently launched, new hires, etc. The daily newsletter is also extremely useful in being timely in notes. I've already found my notes have been more successful thanks to the information the newsletter provides. The email/articles are well captured, easy to read, and extremely useful for those in the sales industry that need to capitalize on opportunistic information.

I sometimes struggling in generating lists from the search bar. I often see there are very useful lists created such as top retailers planning in Q2, top digital spenders but I often want to custom create my own list.

Winmo is useful in finding sales leads to engage sponsorship decisionmakers. I feel my outreach has strongly increased given some of the great insight/data they provide on companies regarding their spend, recent campaigns, and other happenings.

Their daily leads are terrific and absolutely keep me up-to-date and on my toes. But this, like any service, is only as good as YOUR follow-up work is. Winmo provides a ton of data. The trick is to USE it. And I sure as heck do! Also, the RARE times I have a problem or question? Or discover missing client contacts or changes? They could NOT be faster or more responsive in return. Love 'em.

I have used The List and DailyVista for SO long that I'm still adjusting to this new version. What can I say? I'm an old dog (relatively speaking) and the former model is SO ingrained in me that...it's taking a BIT of time... But I'm working on it. Also, wish it was a BIT easier to share my download info on prospects with bosses/clients. But it occurs to me that I haven't ever mentioned that to them. Will do so now!

Depending on the size of your agency, you should consider utilizing multiple resources. And, as noted in my earlier comments, Winmo (as with any service) is only as good as YOU are at utilizing it. Also -- and this is EXTREMELY important -- if you ever have ANY problem (large or small), just CALL them. I've sometimes heard fellow users at other agencies complain about something or other and when I ask how the company responded, they often say, "I didn't contact them." Well, that's just stupid. But if you're serious about new business? You should already be using Winmo.

I love my ability to identify a prospect (by whatever means) and then almost always immediately find the contact and background info I need. BOOM.

I’ve recently made a career move and so many of the decision makers and/or types of clients I’m looking for have changed. Winmo has been incredibly helpful in locating contacts and prospects. I can search by geography, industry or title which I love, and exporting prospect lists is fabulous.

Nothing really. I use it every day, whether it’s reading the updates that come to my inbox or logging in for s search.

Finding LOTS of new prospects which are opening the door to new sales!

The ease of use of the tool and the ability to have daily updates on the categories that interest me most. Allow for the team to focus on who they need to connect with.

Like all information its about the accuracy and timeliness of the data, there are occasions when there have been a few outdated contacts - but nothing that would hinder me from using the tool or thinking the tool is not valuable.

Ask for a trial to ensure that it has what you need to meet your needs

Contacts, contacts, contacts! The ability o allow for deeper penetration into brands and quick use of understanding their media spend.

I like that I am able to obtain emails for specific clients I want to reach out to.

I do not like that sometimes the emails are incorrect.

This is great for keeping up with the latest brand updates and reaching contacts working for specific brands.

I am solving the problem of being able to find the right marketing contacts for specific brands I am interested in. I have realized that having the right contacts allows me to create potential business opportunities.

The product overall is extremely helpful for sponsorship sales & they do a good job sending updates & staying on top of the industry.

It's expensive. It's harder and harder to justify every year since I tend to use it less as I build my network. I think they need to work on a better pricing structure for long term customers.

They don't solve any business problems for me. They're strictly a database of information to generate leads & find the right decision maker.

I like the fact that Winmo provides all the contact information from client to agency and other affiliations. Plus you can review their media spending from year over year.

It is important for sales people to see this information because it helps save time researching contacts especially since agencies tend to be a "revolving door".

Sometimes winmo contact information is not current. Would like for it to be simplified when down loading to salesforce - making it easier to group contacts together.

First off it helps to increase my business contacts on the agency side. Also the parent company information along with the list of their brands broken out by which agencies handle is extremely helpful.
