Broadlook Technologies announced today the formal launch of a revolutionary set of services that leverage its industry leading Internet research technologies. The services, named Ellis, parallel the concepts of Ellis Island, bring “people” into the New World. Broadlook’s Ellis brings data into the new world.

The formal launch is a validation of the growing demand that is being seen within the Sales and Marketing functions for expanding the points of contacts and company intelligence with B2B clients. “Out of date prospect, company and contact information is the “silent killer” of sales and top line revenue growth, said Donato Diorio, Broadlook’s Chief Executive Officer. “We have been performing the services that are part of Ellis for select clients over the years. The feedback has always been great and the requests keep increasing. It seems like a natural for us to offer this out on a much broader basis.”

Ellis includes three distinct services with leverages Broadlook’s Industry leading Internet Research Software in a unique way. Services includes; Real-Time Lead Generation, Extreme Data Augmentation, and Continuity Services. Each service focuses on delivering accurate, real-time information, critical in today’s competitive sales environment.

At the heart of all of the Ellis services are three core elements; skilled people, cutting edge name parsing technology, and a proven 6 step process. “We are excited to formally launch Ellis. We plan to highlight these capabilities at the DMA conference in October.”

In conjunction with the announcement of Broadlook’s formal launching of its cutting edge Ellis services, Founder and CEO of Broadlook Technologies Donato Diorio will be holding a round table discussion at the National Association of Computer Consulting Businesses (NACCB).  The topic for the round table discussion will be strategies and methods to implement sphere of influence selling. 

“In sales, most first contact attempts fail.  Having a second or third point of contact is not a straight line gain, it’s logarithmic.  Sphere of influence selling is about having a competitive advantage over your competition.  Businesses are all looking for ways to improve their sales
effectiveness. In order to truly gain an advantage, you need to expand your points of contact and company intelligence”, said Diorio.  ”This is sphere of influence selling at its core.”

Broadlook is best known for its award wining Internet Research and recruiting software.  The NACCB conference, being held in Naples Grande Beach Resort, FL, Oct 1-4 will be the first opportunity for Broadlook to highlight how companies can benefit from Ellis. 

“Our clients have continued to reinforce what we believe.  In order to have an edge in today’s market, fresh and accurate information is not a luxury, it is a necessity.”

Article Two: Broadlook Technologies Product Review by Mike Walmsley

Mike reviews this product for building your client and candidate database from the web.

In the last few years, a number of exciting web-based developments have made the process of finding candidates and hiring managers so much easier. However, the Internet is so vast that despite offering huge access to enormously valuable, real-time information it can still be very time consuming to find, extract, and then get that information in a useable form.

Following my recent recruitment training presentations in North America I believe I have found a major breakthrough.

Like most recruiters, I need to manage my time ruthlessly and the biggest challenge with mining a source like the Internet is time. Whilst presenting in North America recently I was therefore intrigued to hear about some technology from a company called Broadlook Technologies (www.broadlook.com).

Broadlook claims some very impressive capabilities – for example, that with just a couple clicks on the keyboard you can build your contact database - so I checked it out to see if it could do what they claimed, i.e. that you can start to turn the Internet into a virtual, real-time database.

Amazingly, with Contact Capture (part of the Broadlook suite, which you can get for free) you are able to do just that. This simple software allows you to highlight any contact information on a specific Web page you would like to add to your database and just hold down the Control Key, and tap the “C” key twice. The program mines information such as name, address, phone number, email, web site url, and more. Once you are done mining for data, just export it to one of a number of programs such as an Excel spreadsheet.

Their “Eclipse” version is even more impressive in that it can parse, capture, sort and export large online lists of companies and contacts (think of mining Yellow Pages, for example). But here’s the smart bit: if there are no contacts listed on, for example, the data you mine from Yellow Pages then you can utilise Broadlook’s “Diver” software to find them on the web in seconds – and then smile to yourself as it brings back names, job titles, contact details and even bios of the people that work there, provided of course, that they exist in the public domain.

My staff now uses the Broadlook suite on a regular basis and we can’t remember how we got along without it.
