B2B prospecting is one of the most challenging activities for sales teams. Finding qualified leads, understanding a company's profile, and identifying business opportunities can be a slow and expensive process. That's where CNPJ data from the Receita Federal (Brazil's Federal Revenue Service) becomes a powerful tool.
In practice, you can start with a ready-made list in the File Search, validate the size of a niche in the Detailed Search, or look up a specific company through the public CNPJ lookup.
