What is company name?

A company name is the legal or trading name of a B2B account (e.g. "Acme Corp", "Stripe", "HubSpot"). It's the lowest-friction enrichment input - a sales rep can type one without leaving Sheets - and resolves to LinkedIn company URL, website, headcount, industry, country, funding stage, tech stack and 30+ firmographic fields when matched against a B2B database.

In the context of full name-based prospecting, company name sits downstream: you start from the full name as your lookup key, the resolver maps it to the matching record in the source graph, and the company name value is returned as part of the enrichment payload. The accuracy of the company name you get back depends on how cleanly your full name input identifies the underlying entity.

Why you need company name for sales

Company-name enrichment underpins ABM and outbound prospecting at scale. RevOps teams routinely receive a list of 500 target accounts from sales leadership and need full firmographic + technographic profiles in under an hour. Manual lookup against LinkedIn / Crunchbase / company websites would take days; automated company-name enrichment makes it a 60-second job.

Teams that already have full name on every record but don't enrich company name effectively waste the upstream investment. The cost of NOT having company name compounds: every outbound campaign without it drops in personalisation; every CRM report without it drops in accuracy.

Why find company name from full name?

When the only thing you know about a prospect is their full name, you're at the highest-friction starting point in B2B prospecting. Names collide (there are ~12 "John Smith" working in B2B sales right now), so resolving company name from a name requires a name + company-context resolver that disambiguates correctly. Hit-rates for company name from full name alone usually land 10-15% lower than from a more uniquely-identifying input - but it's the input most B2B teams have on a list of contacts.

"Working pretty nifty compared to Snov.Io. Price wise it does give a fair shake, and IMO better interface since it's google sheets."

Is finding company name free?

+

The free Derrick plan ships 100 credits per month with no credit card required, which is enough to find company name for ~100 full name inputs depending on the lookup type. Paid plans start at €9/month for 4,000 credits if you need more volume.

What's the hit rate for finding company name from full name?

+

Derrick runs a multi-source lookup rather than querying a single database, so coverage is broader than a single-source provider. The hit rate for company name from full name depends on how uniquely your full name identifies the target, on geography, and on B2B vs B2C context, so we don't publish a single headline number. When no source returns a confident match, Derrick leaves the cell empty rather than guessing.

Can I bulk-enrich company name for thousands of rows?

+

Yes - Derrick processes batch enrichment runs across thousands of rows in a single Google Sheets job, with progress tracking and per-row credit accounting. The workflow above scales linearly: 1 row or 10,000 rows, the steps are identical.

How does Derrick compare to other company name finders?

+

Most company name tools live as standalone web apps that require CSV export then re-import. Derrick is the only Google-Sheets-native option (plus API + MCP), with hit rates competitive with premium providers and pricing 3-10× cheaper than enterprise databases. See the full sales-tool comparison for a side-by-side review.

Do I need an API key to find company name from full name?

+

No - the Google Sheets add-on works with a one-click sign-in (no API keys, no developer account needed). If you'd rather hit the REST API directly or drive enrichment from Claude / ChatGPT via MCP, both are available on the same credit pool. The choice is workflow-dependent, not pricing-dependent.
