I tried using advanced search and got pretty much the same results that I have been getting. Jigsaw has been very useful is marketing to school administrators and/or school liason officers, which is another market that we handle through Inside Sales. We just haven't had any luck with Jigsaw in the law enforcement market. Miles, I market primarily to City, County and State level law enforcement agencies.

What titles or job functions? After reading your post I went to check and found almost 8,000 listings for government contacts at the local government level. Go to Advanced search and select the appropriate boxes. Let me know if that is of help. If that doesn't work call me and I will step through it with you. Contact information is located within the "About" on top of page. Good luck. Darren, what gov’t agencies are you looking for? What titles or job functions?

However, I haven't been able to find any information on government agencies. My primary target market is US Law Enforcement and Jigsaw has not been of much help to me in that market.

What type of titles and industries are you looking for? I am typically seeking CFO's in companies larger than 1,000 employees and I have a mid- 80% hit rate. The beauty of Jigsaw is that if you do receive a "bad" contact, just report it and they will return your money or points. No hassle, no headaches.
