# A failed people search no longer reads as "No people"

> When the search for a company's decision makers fails, the company now shows that the search failed instead of looking like it has nobody to contact.

## What this solves

- If the LinkedIn people search failed during research, the company was still marked complete and showed "No people yet", as if nobody worked there.
- Nothing looked again, so these companies stayed empty in Target and Sales.

## What changed

- A failed people search is retried a few times at no cost.
- If it still fails, the company is marked Partial and its research shows the decision makers step as failed, so you can re-scan its people.
- People found earlier are kept when a later re-scan fails.

## Where to find it

Lists: the company's status and its research progress.

## Useful for

- Sales teams who track many companies at once and need to know which ones still have no contacts.
