Prospects

With this resource, you will be able to browse the prospect database in all possible direction and get some additional information about every single contact that was added to Woodpecker. There are a couple of ways to filter, search and order prospects. You are able to list basic information about prospects, like their full name, organization name, their status etc. There are also ways to gain additional information about a specific group of prospects, like to which campaign they belong, when have they been created or used.
