How do I figure out a company's (Ikea's) corporate phone number?

Question

I have a sales pitch that I want to throw to Ikea but I don't know their main telephone number. On their website it only lists their address but not a phone number, how do I get their main phone number? Any suggestions other than 411?

Answer 1

You won't find IKEA's number on 411. IKEA is headquartered in Sweden.

Answer 2

IKEA does not accept sales pitches from outside of the company. They have designers based throughout Europe to supply IKEA with it's design ideas. These designers are screened and go through an entire process before they can be considered IKEA designers.

Answer 3

Go to this page:

You will find plenty of phone numbers.

My question is: Why would Ikea or any company for that matter be interested in hearing a sales approach from someone who didn't have the capabilities to find their phone number.

I would take another look at your business and marketing plan, if you have one. If not, work on that before contacting a potential vendor.
