The prospecting software that finds the local businesses to contact and tracks every touchpoint

Good prospecting software does three jobs: it tells you who to contact, gives you a way to reach them, and remembers what was said. Prospya does all three for one specific market, the local businesses of France and Belgium: 944,117 establishments you can filter by trade and city, with phone, email, website, Instagram and reviews, plus a built-in CRM and email campaigns.

What does a sales prospecting tool actually do?

A sales prospecting tool gathers work that otherwise lives in a spreadsheet, a directory, an inbox and a notebook. Depending on the product, it covers part or all of the cycle: finding prospects, getting their contact details, reaching out, following up, and tracking progress until the sale.

The market splits into a few families. None is better in absolute terms; the right one depends on who you need to reach.

If you sell to sales directors at large corporations, a LinkedIn-style database will serve you better. If you sell websites, point-of-sale software, insurance, supplies or services to restaurants, salons or tradespeople, you need a tool that knows those businesses one by one.

B2B prospecting software built for local businesses

B2B prospecting to small businesses has its own rules. The owner decides alone, answers the phone between two customers, reads email in the evening and appears in no executive database. What matters is the shop’s number, its email address, and a few signals telling you whether it is worth a call.

Figures are computed live from the database and update automatically. Each record holds the name, trade, address, phone, email, website, Instagram account, Google rating and review count. Data comes from public sources (online maps, directories, business websites, public social profiles); it is cross-checked and cleaned, and technical addresses are removed.

Sort by score and call the best first

Nobody should work a list of 300 businesses in alphabetical order. The prospect score, from 0 to 100, adds up criteria you can see on each record: a phone (+20), an email (+20), the number of reviews (up to +30), a rating of 4.5 or more (+10) and no website (+20). Sort by score and your first calls of the day reach businesses that are active, reachable and liked by their customers. The score tooltip lists the real criteria of that record, not an opaque formula.

The “only new businesses” filter hides everything you or your team already contacted, so you can rerun the same search every month without landing on the same names.

What Prospya does not do

Prospya does not provide owner names or personal numbers, and it only covers France and Belgium. For named accounts in large companies, another tool will fit better: our comparison of Apollo alternatives for local businesses explains the difference.

How to prospect with Prospya in three steps

1. 1
   Search and filter

   A trade, a city, then filters: has phone, verified email, with or without website, Google rating, review count, only businesses never contacted.

2. 2
   Unlock the useful records

   One credit per business with a phone or an email, never charged twice. CSV export to Excel, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Brevo or Lemlist.

3. 3
   Reach out and track

   One-click call logging with outcome, email campaigns, AI-written messages, dated follow-ups and a board view until the deal closes.

Call without losing track

Each call is logged in one click: reached, no answer, voicemail or wrong number. When nobody picks up, a call-back is scheduled automatically for the next working day, so no prospect gets lost at the bottom of a spreadsheet. Each business keeps its history of calls, emails and notes, visible to the whole team. For your opening lines, borrow from our cold calling scripts.

Email a whole list

From any search, the “Email these businesses” button starts a campaign: one of five templates (website, social media, software, coaching, supplier) or an email the AI writes from one sentence, variables such as {name} or {city}, a live preview and a test send to yourself. Emails go out gradually, at most 200 a day per account, each with an unsubscribe link, and replies land in your own inbox. See the email campaigns and our page on cold email software.

Track the pipeline

Contacted businesses move into the CRM: to contact, contacted, interested, quote sent, client, not interested. Each record has an owner, a deal value and a next action. The details are on the prospecting CRM page.

Work as a team

Up to 10 people share the same account at no extra cost. Credits are pooled, a record unlocked by one person is free for everyone else, and each member sees their own calls, emails and results in the team stats. The owner can set a monthly credit cap per member, which keeps a new hire from spending the whole pack in a week. Marking a business “do not contact” hides it for the entire team, so nobody calls back someone who already said no. If you prefer to stay in a spreadsheet for now, our sales prospecting tracker template is a good starting point.

How much does this prospecting software cost?

There is no subscription. Search, filters, the CRM and the team are free; you only pay for the records you unlock, one credit per business that has a phone or an email. Records with neither are free, and a record already unlocked never costs again, even for a teammate.

Credits never expire, so a quiet month costs you nothing. You start with 25 free credits, no card needed. If both the phone and the email of a record are wrong, the credit is refunded on request. Details are on the pricing page, and lead list pricing in general is covered in how much a lead list costs.
