Finding new
prospects is still the name of the game. You've tried Usenet, mail
lists, and discussion groups. Perhaps a name rings a bell, but you
have no contact info. Or maybe you need to branch out a bit to find
new contacts in new places. Try these rather handy directory pages.
- World
Phone Directories for 43 countries. Some individual directories
listed offer only a search by classification, but fax numbers
are often included, too. Other directories allow searches by region
along with categories.
- Email
look up directories. Contains more than the usual Big Foot
and 411.
- Close
to 100 links to worldwide yellow pages.
Includes white, yellow and specialized directories.

Tip: Reverse Lookup
You might
well remember that we mentioned the possibility of reverse lookup
in the seminars. Reverse lookup is the ability to start with one
piece of information and trace it back to another. From, say, a
phone number to a name. Or, an email address to a name. And so on.
In many
web-related issues, there is a current public discomfort over the
level of information currently available about individuals. We imagine
it is a passing symptom of the culture's move into the information
age. It is increasingly possible to find out anything about anybody.
That's a shift from the industrial era. The discomfort will pass
once we get used to the consequences.
Infospace,
is currently offering a reverse lookup feature for phon numbers
and email. The service itself is a sort of Yahoo!
clone. It's simple. Simply visit the Infospace page, click on the
reverse lookup feature and bang away!
