VANCOUVER, B.C. -- Maximizer Technologies has taken the high ground -- becoming the first true Internet contact manager -- with its newest product, MultiActive Maximizer 3.0is for Windows 95. This, thanks to the MultiActive Eagle database developed by sibling corporation MultiActive Data, Inc. " The Eagle" is a searchable online database linking users to current, detailed information on ten million U.S. businesses. This information is supplied and updated by one of the world's leading business data sources, Omaha-based ABI (American Business Information).
Using any World Wide Web browser, such as Netscape, Maximizer 3.0is users can search and develop business leads via " The Eagle" by contact name and title, zipcode, S.I.C. code, city, state, company name, sales volume code, or employee size code. One of the industry's leading contact managers, Maximizer 3.0is serves as a "front end" to this data, which can be directly downloaded from the Internet onto desktop or mobile PCs, in Maximizer format.
Specifically designed for sales professionals and others wanting to manage sales contacts and leads, Maximizer users will receive 25 free "lookups" per month, once they have subscribed to "The Eagle" service. Business, direct marketing and other types of sales and contact leads can be developed, targeted by location, type of business, and so on, defined as narrowly or as broadly as the user wishes.
In a typical Lookup, the user types in search criteria, then receives a screen count of how many records match the query. The user receives a listing of the search by company name, city, and state or province, then scrolls through the list and can then receive one listing, with company name, address, city, state or province, zipcode, and phone number.
For business-to-business direct marketing programs where no follow-up is required, mailing labels can be generated from within Maximizer via "The Eagle," contact name, title, company name, address, city, state or province, and zipcode. Where sales follow-up is used, additional data for phone number, SIC codes, sales volume code, and employee size code.
Registering Maximizer users will choose an Eagle user ID and password to access "The Eagle" Web Site, and will have an account for downloading data from "The Eagle" Web Site. Additionally, first-time visitors to the Web Site can view "The Eagle" and register for the service.
Pricing for "The Eagle" includes a membership setup fee of $20.00 (U.S.), a data charge (per record list price) of 18 cents for mailing label records, and 35 cents for sales lead records.
System requirements include: 486 with 8MB Ram; TCP/IP connection to MultiActive server; ISDN Line connection to MultiActive; floppy drive; MultiActive Maximizer 3.0is for Windows 95; Netscape or Microsoft Internet Browser with Eagle Membership maintenance program.
Available now at a retail price of $149.00 (U.S.), MultiActive Maximizer 3.0is for Windows 95 is available through major distributors such as Ingram, Merisel and Tech Data and is sold at retailers including CompUSA, Egghead, and Computer City.
