CCTV experts, VtecZoom, have been keeping a watchful eye on new projects needing their services through Lead-In Research's qualified data. VtecZoom teamed up with construction data specialists Lead-In Research a number of years ago with the aim of securing new business opportunities.

Lead-In Research track and enhance occupier data for commercial and industrial premises, providing vital contact data for businesses looking to supply services to those moving, extending or refurbishing.

Mr Burke, Business Development Executive at VtecZoom says: "After taking advantage of a free data trial, we decided your services were perfect for our needs. Your data is great in terms of value, last year it paid for itself 100 times over!"

VtecZoom use Evolution, Lead-in Research's lead management system, to extract project data, Mr Burke goes on to say: "We use Evolution because it's a great lead builder for future jobs, plus the new filter buttons to identify jobs being completed within a few months is very beneficial."

"On the whole Lead-In Research provides a user-friendly system, excellent customer service, and most importantly great data which has turned into new business! Lead-In Research is well worth a punt, and provided you use it to its potential there should be no reason why you won’t generate a substantial amount of work from it."

Case study: HCS Business Interiors

Lead-In Research identify businesses who are looking to move, or are upgrading their premises. This data then allows a proactive new business approach from any companies in the service sector or construction industry who need to target occupier information.

Here at Lead-In Research, we are very proud that we always go that one step further to provide excellent business opportunities to our customers, as well as providing industry-leading after care service levels. It’s always nice when a customer recognises this though, and we thought we would share what HCS Business Interiors have recently said about us:

HCS Business Interiors is a Scottish based company who specialise in interior design consultancy and the supply and installation of furniture to Higher Education Institutions, Government buildings and private companies throughout Scotland and the UK.

With over 20 years experience HCS guarantee's long-life products and on-going support covering; furniture supply and installation, move management and managed warehousing, in-house, design and space planning, and storage auditing.

HCS Business Interiors have been benefiting from our project data for just under a year now, and Morag Brown, Telemarketing Manager of their Glasgow branch is keen to tell us why they chose Lead-in Research for their lead provision service: "I have now been using Lead-In for eight months and I can honestly say they are the best yet."

"The information I receive on the leads is second to none. As well as the details on the project, they not only give you the Architects name but also the person dealing with it, which in many cases is my first point of contact, so this is a great time-saver for me."

"I would also like to add that the customer service is first class, any problems or questions are dealt with immediately in a friendly and confident way."

"I use the data by telephoning the client and also the architect to find out who will be specifying the furniture and introduce them to HCS, hopefully with an appointment. The quality is first class and the best lead generation tool I have ever used."

"My brief is to get appointments for our sales people to go in and talk to the clients about the services we have to offer and because of the information given, my success rate is very high. I would recommend Lead-In as it is the best I have come across."
