Our Audience, Your Buyers, Validated.
GlobalSpec VIP proactively surveys engineers who are actively researching and purchasing equipment — by phone and email — to confirm active projects and contactability before a lead ever reaches your team.
Someone confirmed to be on a purchase timeline within 12 months, with budget information when captured — plus a full raw survey report and engagement signals across every GlobalSpec-family brand. Not a cold list. Not a form fill. A real person who's said yes to hearing from your team.
What Makes VIP Different
Anyone can sell you a list of names. VIP sells you buyers who've already said yes to hearing from you.
Not Just Contacts — Confirmed Buyers.
VIP confirms which contacts have an active project before they ever reach your team — eliminating wasted outreach on names that aren't really in-market.
Not Cold Calls — Warm Conversations.
Every VIP buyer has been personally reached and confirmed. They've said yes to vendor outreach — your rep opens warm, not cold.
Not Just a Name — Complete Intelligence.
Each lead includes project context, purchase timeline, budget information (when captured), pain points, and the trigger that started their search.

What Are VIP Segments?
Each segment is one of GlobalSpec's highest-engagement product audiences over the trailing 12 months (July 2025–July 2026) — engineers who've shown active interest in these specific parts and products through their own on-site search behavior, not a category we made up. Ranked below by real engagement, highest to lowest. Find the segment(s) that match your product line, then choose them in the section below to request validated buyers from that audience.

Contact Preference — Included at No Additional Cost

That's a real, opted-in conversation waiting to happen, not a cold list.
