Default data cleansing

Hi,

I was wondering if i could get some help on this. We've actually been working for a mobile co. for about a couple of months now, cleansing data (on & off) & generating leads for them. The problem is they have limited work for us as there're 3 other suppliers catering to them. I was thinking of approaching other companies but i am a bit confused about where should i begin my search from. Are there any such websites where i can find companies looking for data cleansing/leag generation service?

Also my team is pretty good at that hence we can manage to offer the service at a very economical price.

Thanks!!

Firstly, welcome to the forums.

From what you've said, I'd suggest identify your target market... make a list of industries and types of businesses that could use your services - then focus your efforts towards them.

Thanks David!

Now that you've suggested me to identify the industry type that could be interested in my services could you also advice me on how to approach them....i mean i'd really appreciate if you could help me with the right protocol to approach these clients who could use this service & could benefit from it. It's very difficult to convince someone to use you especially when you're making a cold call!!

Thanks

I don't think there is a right protocol as such, but of course you want to be helpful rather than annoying so bombarding them with spam and cold calls might not be the first step.

You know your industry (I hope) so I'd probably think you'd consider their needs and provide a solution that may interest them.

Usually cost, and quality and the two main features of any product or service but you'll need to look closer at the industry to see if you can assist in areas such as:

- flexible products (maybe size or quantity)
- delivery times (if important)
- range (colours, types etc)
and so on.
