Answer:

IndustryArchive.Org provides a turnkey marketing service so you can focus on your business, while we promote your brand, build your thought leadership and traffic to your website and generate “ready-to-buy” sales leads for you!

We provide a one-stop, virtual turnkey marketing service so you can do what you love to do, while we:

  • increase you brand presence
  • promote your company events, new products/services, classifieds and job openings
  • build your thought leadership among B2B professionals
  • generate high-quality IntelliLeads to help grow your business
Answer:

If your business is already on IndustryArchive.Org but you haven’t claimed it yet, click “Claim A Listing tab” in the left-hand corner of your Account Dashboard.

Answer:

IntelliLeads are high quality, "ready-to-buy", B2B sales leads. They are different than any other sales leads because they feature...

  • Qualified, sales prospects that voluntarily relinquish their contact information 
  • Verified Sales leads that contain complete & accurate contact data 
  • Helpful sales insights into the customers' reasons for wanting to be contacted 
  • Specific method & best time to contact the prospect 
  • Actionable sales leads with the timing of prospect purchase intent 
  • Prospects interested in your company & asking to meet with you before you contact them
Answer:

Yes. You only pay when we provide high-quality IntelliLeads. However, our IntelliLeads must meet a minimum of 5 objective criteria that make them superior to all other sales leads. You will not be charged for any Intellileads that do not meet our 5 objective characteristics. However, IndustryArchive.Org does its best to verify contact information submitted at the time the sales lead is generated to insure the validity of the contact information only. If the sales lead does not purchase from the Sponsor this is not the responsibility of IndustryArchive.Org. There is no refund for any sales leads you may purchase at IndustryArchive.Org. Sponsors have the right to view a sales lead for purchase prior to purchase minus the contact information.

Answer:

No. We provide a turnkey service. Your Sponsor Dashboard allows you to easily manage all aspects of your sponsorship including:

  • Business Content Creation 
  • Promotional Activities (events, classifieds, new products/services, jobs) 
  • Your B2B Sales Leads 
  • Account Management 
We perform extensive usability testing to ensure that our system is easy & convenient to use.

Answer:

Business Professionals like to hear what other people think of a business before using it, and they like to spread the word about their own experiences. Businesses have always relied on this kind of word-of-mouth to get new customers; the only difference today is that it happens online. Ratings and reviews allow customers to give businesses feedback, letting them know if they like what they’re doing and giving businesses a chance to respond with a comment.

Answer:

Yes. If you have a business already listed on IndustryArchive.Org, you will receive email alerts whenever a new review about your business is published. If your business isn’t listed on IndustryArchive.Org, list your business for free.

Answer:

Yes. We moderate every review and comment before we publish them for civility & relevance.

Answer:

It’s impossible to keep all customers happy all the time, so here are some tips for dealing with negative reviews: If you want to respond to the reviewer, add a comment under their review explaining your side of the story. Encourage other clients to review your business – lots of good reviews will quickly outweigh a poor review. You can also contact customers that will provide positive reviews, and since your most recent reviews appear first, any older reviews that are not so positive will drop towards the bottom of the page. While not flattering, a few negative reviews show your company is transparent and can demonstrate how well you handle problems.

Answer:

Yes. Please contact us via email with the URL of the page with the inappropriate comment.

Answer:

If you are already managing the business listing, log in to your Account Dashboard and click 'Remove Listing'.
