Creating Lists of Prospects Using Additional Attributes

You can create lists of prospects by querying the additional attribute data for prospects. For example, you can create an additional attribute for hobby and then record these values for many of your prospects. For a campaign, you might want to create a list of prospects with certain hobbies, such as sailing or painting.

You can create a list of prospects by using the Prospects by Category list. In this list, the New Internal List and Add to List functions are also available. Query the list of prospects using the appropriate attribute and attribute value. Then, select the desired records and either create a new list or add to an existing list.

Due to the many-to-many relationship between prospects and attributes, you cannot have multiple combinations of attributes and values in a single query. To create of a list that combines queries, for example, Hobby is set to Skiing OR Preferred Language is set to Spanish, perform separate queries, and use the Add to List function to combine the results.
