CrowdBuild Best Practices Part 2

Saratoga Springs, NY, June 08, 2017 --(PR.com)-- “Test every lead quickly, be it investor, potential client or candidate, is what CrowdBuild has allowed us to do,” states Tony Marten of IFP Films. “It has allowed us to spend less time with the fence sitters and the not interested and more time cultivating our real prospects and building engagement.”

E. Patrice Perkins, Director of Startup Grind Albany notes: “Curating a monthly fireside chat series for entrepreneurs means I meet lots of people requesting help with either starting a business or making their existing business operate more efficiently. One of my dilemmas has been finding a CRM system that’s flexible enough to handle my needs without a big-ticket price tag. CrowdBuild™ is affordable and simple - I use it to segment my list to create customized email campaigns. CrowdBuild™ has meant the difference between a hodge-podge of collected business cards, and an organized way to cultivate relationships with prospective clients.”

Jill Daye of In Focus Brands highlights some key takeaways of the service:

1) to identify the right target clients, building and fostering ideal messaging that creates action;

2) effective, multiple approaches for leading, educating and grooming new business; and

3) utilizing the power of the why into repeatable marketing successes, lead generation growth and sales.
