Best Methods to Improve Contact Coverage for Mid-Sized HVAC Companies

·Feb 04, 2026 06:09 PM·

Hey all, does anyone have advice on how to get better coverage on all of the contacts at a company? I have a table of target HVAC companies between 100 - 1000 employees. The key people I'm looking for are Directors of L&D or Operations and the CEO or COO. I find that Clay's 1 credit "Find Contacts at Company" enrichment gets me better results than the free "Find People". I tried Surfe's Find people enrichment but the coverage appears worse. I'm also using Open Mart but it's a bit expensive - so I have logic to only run it if no one else could be found. Any other data sources or techniques you recommend for finding people at these companies in this 100 - 1000 range?

SMB is usually really tough - curious have you tried the Yelp API?

It might not give you phone numbers but it might give you the right contact

Intersting idea! But this would only help me find more companies, not any employees, correct?

Just figuring out who the decision makers are is my biggest challenge

Yes. But you'll get a phone number and yelp as a channel to message the business

You could use an clayagent to look for the owner of the company and send a note

Since you have a phone number you can also call

Lastly you can have Claygent also look for their emails on the company website.
