Source Lists

If you are a company that owns lists like “The Harris Directory” “The Scott’s Directory” or any other industry specific directory that would offer thousands or hundreds of thousands of entries, you can directly import them into Tradepoint.  This now allows you to query (through Tradepoint) your source list and handle entries like any internal account.  Keep notes, move to clients leads or customers, store documents, keep track of multiple statuses etc. 

For example in our International Holdings Database, you can easily print out every company who’s name starts with the letter “A” that resides in the state of Pennsylvania.  Lists can be filtered by SIC code, NAICS codes, geo / metro codes, staffing levels, annual revenue levels, county, status, phone numbers and more.   Cold calls, mass mailings and more can be done from this list, this feature makes lead generation possibilities almost endless.

Most companies that use such databases use the manufacturer’s GUI to manage their leads or, export the source items into an Access file to be queried by admins.  This Access file or manufacture’s GUI solution causes major headaches because both systems do not communicate directly with the lead management side of the business.  Double entry or other middleware headaches become an issue.   Also, creating lists requires no knowledge of working a database.  Many company admins are forced to learn direct database commands like:  SELECT Northeast.*  FROM Northeast  WHERE (((Northeast.State)="PA") AND ((Northeast.[employee count])>"20")); in order to create a simple list.   Tradepoint simplifies the process by having users fill in simple fields, and Tradepoint takes care of the rest.  With Tradepoint you will  ever need to learn database commands again.  A child with relatively no training can easily do what in other realms can be quite complicated.  Reduce your admin loads and training time in this regard with Tradepoint.
