Can one contact search cover local, national and international tenants?
Most contact tools are strong in one tier and weak in the rest. Big databases skew toward large companies and miss the local operator who owns three cafés. Local research tools don't reach the expansion lead at an international brand entering the U.S. Dan AI covers all three tiers in one search.
| Tenant tier | Who typically decides | What Dan AI provides |
|---|---|---|
| Local tenants | Owner-operators, principals of local multi-unit groups, franchisees | Verified direct contacts for the person who signs |
| National tenants | Real estate directors, site selection and development leads | Verified decision makers across chains and national brands |
| International brands | U.S. expansion and international development leads | Verified contacts for brands growing into new markets |
Why do credit-based contact searches hurt leasing teams?
Contact tools that sell lookups in credits teach brokers to ask whether a prospect is “worth a credit.” Second contacts at the same brand get skipped, and junior team members get smaller allowances. Prospecting shrinks, which is the opposite of what fills space.
Prospecting is a volume game. A contact search that rations volume is working against you.
Dan AI's contact searches are uncapped, so the only limit is how many good tenants your assignment has.
How is searching in Dan AI different?
Generic tools make you search company by company. Dan AI lets you search by deal. Describe the assignment, for example “I have a new 5,000SF retail assignment located at 33 East 33rd Street NYC, what tenants would be good here?”, and Dan works backward: which tenants fit, and who decides at each one.

What separates a good contact result from a bad one?
Bad result
A role inbox, a store manager, or a name that left the company last year.
Good result
A verified, direct contact for the person who approves sites, plus a reason to talk: tenant fit and Foot Traffic Data.
