Industry Code Remapping for Enhanced Precision
Weโ€™ve remapped industry codes using high-confidence LinkedIn data to ensure that companies in DACH (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) are classified more accurately by industry. This first pass focuses on companies with over 10 employees, ensuring better precision and actionable insights for your prospecting. ๐ŸŽฏ
275,000 companies in DACH now have updated WZ/NACE industry codes.
Result
: The number of incorrect industry classifications has dropped from 24% to 4%, making industry targeting more reliable than ever.
With these improvements, youโ€™ll be able to refine your targeting strategies and connect with companies that are more relevant to your business goals. ๐Ÿค
