Re: industry pick list

The NAICS system provides an excellent set of industry categories that is a national / government standard. The NAICS code for each company is 6-digits and you can obtain this from free sources like Manta.com or paid sources like Data.com.  The full 6 digit categories are way too granular for most purposes, but a mix of the 20 Sector categories and the 93 sub-sector categories can meet most needs.  Below are those categories.

Re: industry pick list

Hi Jenny,

You may also want to research the lists used within forms of your competitors as it may very well save you some time.

I tweaked the best ones slightly to suite how we want to segment our marketing by key verticals.  

Just a thought as these larger lists can be over whelming to start with. 

I hope this helps.

Regards, Victoria
