There is no limit to the amount of searches customers can generate using a wide range of criteria.

In addition to sales leads and business credit reports, customers will receive valuable contact management applications. infoUSA will host the customer's entire database of leads/prospects via embedded customer management software.

With this user-friendly software, customers will be able to print labels to selected prospects, map their leads, save call notes and schedule follow-up visits.

The success we achieved with our recently introduced unlimited Business Credit Report subscriptions, priced at $50 per month, encouraged us to offer this valuable and affordable 'Sales Genie Online' service to small businesses. For less than the cost of a yellow page advertisement, small businesses will now receive unlimited and highly targeted sales leads that are accurate and actionable. This is the only small business product on the market that incorporates information from all of our databases in order to give customers the most cohesive and meaningful results.
