ZoomInfo is featured in a Forbes article on pricing strategy. Excerpt:
As with all online search technology, Zoom still suffers from garbage-in, garbage-out syndrome. (One out of those six results turned up a guy who lived in Florida.) Company searches can be even shoddier. The Forbes.com profile lists magazine staff writer Victoria Murphy as a company board member (she would be surprised to hear it).

Now, Stern is heading downstream. In December, he launched two new tiers of service to appeal to small businesses and individuals: A less robust "Premium" version for $49 per month and a bare-bones, advertising-supported model for free. "We want to have a whole suite of products that are self-service, where people just use their credit-cards and that's it," says Stern, 51.
If online search is rocket science, selling a new product to the right customers at the right price is black magic, especially for inexperienced small companies. Casting the right spell can often mean the difference between a flier and a flop.
