What Subscribers Say

"

As 2009 comes to a close, I would like to let you know that we have put the cost of the Business Wise system in our 2010 budget.  Three years ago when I learned about Business Wise little did I know how much the Hampton Inn & Suites SouthPark at Phillips Place would benefit! Business Wise has made it so easy to identify our main contacts in the companies. Our time spent on prospecting has been cut so much. Now we can more effectively spend our time producing rather than prospecting. Thank you for introducing me to this valuable business tool.

Not having Business Wise would be like going to a gunfight with a butter knife. It just doesn't work. I rely very heavily on Business Wise for account demographics, contact names and scheduling my cold calls. BWise is a very powerful tool, and I would struggle without it.

Business Wise is an important tool for both our new business development and permanent recruiting efforts. We have gotten significant ROI from it, and have landed many new deals as a result of targeting new opportunities with the data that Business Wise provides.

The Bolton Group has been a Charlotte, NC Business Wise subscriber since 2004, and our Atlanta, GA office has been using BWise much longer, since 2000.  I use Business Wise daily for pre-call planning and creating lists.  It really speeds things up when you have to look for contacts.  We continue to renew Business Wise because it is the best!  I’ve used Hoovers and other databases that were not as thorough, complete and accurate.  I’ve had multiple placements using Business Wise, it’s definitely a terrific program, and Renee is awesome at researching firms.

I was blown away by the drip marketing messaging that you put together for us. It clearly indicated that you had taken a lot of time and clearly thought through ‘who we are’, ‘what we were trying to communicate to our prospects’, and ‘what we want to accomplish’ with your drip marketing program. The fact that you did this level of work, unprompted, meant a lot. I told my staff: now THAT's a company that has its act together.

"

"

The first thing I do is look up leads in Business Wise.  I use Business Wise daily!  It really helps me to save time and identify who I need to talk to.  On a scale of 1-10, I give Business Wise  a 9.5. It's a great new business development tool!

We touch our prospects via telemarketing, postal mail & email marketing, and Business Wise is an invaluable tool for each of these prospecting processes.  If you ever need a reference, send them to me.

I have access to just about every prospect mining tool in the world, but Business Wise is, hands-down, the most valuable tool I use in my local new business development efforts. I still can’t believe how quickly you guys update data. If I find something that needs updated and notify you, it’s usually there when I login the next day. Business Wise is a phenomenal tool!

Thanks Business Wise.  While I'd hesitate to call prospecting for new business "easy", you make it much easier. We love the all-in-one approach that lets us access your up-to-date information with online access from anywhere. No more need to make our agents do data entry or research; neither of which they enjoy or excel. Now, they simply add their notes to the Prospecting Activity Manager and we're set. Y’all continue to do the research, the updates, the Drip Marketing, and provide the help with our target market and message. We'll set the appointments and close the deals...a perfect match!

I enjoyed meeting you at the Business Wise training and at the Insiders Group meeting.  I very much appreciate how useful the BWise tool is. I am very grateful that we have the capabilities for new business development that the Business Wise tool provides.

Business Wise has proven itself to be a great investment for us. Recently, our telemarketer set 2 appointments for me using BWise.  The results?  I closed 2 deals; one for 50K and one for 200K. Certainly some credit goes to the telemarketer,part credit belongs to BWise and some credit belongs to me!  Where ever the proportionate kudos belong, I hope the results keep coming!

"Business Wise is like a local version of Hoovers on steroids."

"

I love the new BWise Web App. I previously used your software, and have found making the transition to the web app quite intuitive – it’s very easy to navigate. Business Wise makes it so easy for me to ‘clone’ my best clients – by easily targeting other companies that fit the same demographic profile. We also use a national real estate database to identify tenants in buildings, and I find the Business Wise data  to be much more robust, more comprehensive and in-depth.

"My territory has been changed to New Jersey.  Are you considering expanding to New Jersey?  Your product was VERY helpful to me when I prospected in Atlanta.  Hoovers cannot hold a flame to your company.  I think you have a really great product."

"Business Wise is an excellent resource, and it's an even better product because of their great people, who are so helpful."

"We love the expanded (Georgia statewide coverage of) Business Wise! Thanks for rolling this out!."

"Business Wise has proved to be an invaluable resource as we have used it to target particular market profiles, follow-up on inquiries, review websites and extract general company information.  In sales, the support Business Wise provides is truly critical in our new business development efforts. Not only is it user friendly, but your staff has given additional support every time we’ve had a question, suggestion or wanted to search in a more in depth manner."

"My organization has been a Business Wise client for several years. Each year, we run multiple marketing campaigns to advertise our programs to a wide variety of constituents, and Business Wise has become an integral part of our direct mail marketing strategy. The Business Wise query tools have been very useful in helping us to better target our campaigns to clients who are the most likely to benefit from the programs we offer"

"Prior to getting Business Wise, I couldn't see the value and fought it tooth and nail. Now, I have to say it's the best thing we've ever done for new business development. My folks love it."

"

I use Business Wise everyday.  It is a very important tool for me to do my job as a Selling Branch Manager...Anytime that I have questions or need more information, the staff at Business Wise has always been very attentive.

"I’ve been in hotel sales for 10 years in many different markets. Of all the prospecting tools I’ve ever used, Business Wise has got to be the most fun! I love how you can instantly see everyone in the same building as a prospect with a single click."

"Business Wise has been a godsend. Their drip marketing system has helped generate a number of leads that have turned into new clients, without a lot of effort on my part. It helps us get in front of our prospects at the right time - when they have a need and when they're open to hearing about what we do. I've just scheduled a 2nd appointment with a 400 employee group, which resulted from a drip marketing click thru. The CEO of the firm had just charged their executives to outsource non-core functions, when our personalized email, outlining how we could help them with outsourcing their HR and payroll operations, crossed the desk of the VP of HR, who responded."

"In a recent campaign seeking seminar attendees, I targeted 800 companies using Business Wise. After 75 calls I had 15 people enroll and another 22 that requested more information. So far, there was not a single wrong number or wrong contact. The campaign progressed from idea to 15 enrollments in 5 business days. What's more, my confidence and success with cold calling has skyrocketed thanks to Business Wise."
