‘ Sleeping giant ’ signs to leading source of industry information
» SWIFTFRAME , THE WELL-ESTABlished Norfolk based trade fabricator , has mobilised the next phase of its ambitious growth plan and signed up to Salestracker , the online prospect database from the leading source of industry information , Insight Data .
Swiftframe recently appointed popular industry personality Jason Scrivens as Sales Director to help drive the business forward and as Jason explains , his first move in this new role was to phone Insight Data and switch on Salestracker .
Jason comments : “ I ’ ve been in the industry for over two decades , working in extrusion , hardware and fabrication , and I ’ ve always relied on Salestracker to help me find and win new trade customers .
“ Not only is the data quality superb , providing in depth product and financial information , but Salestracker also features an advanced CRM which I ’ ve historically used to successfully manage my customer relationships .
“ Swiftframe isn ’ t your standard trade fabricator . We extrude our own profile , giving us greater control of our supply chain and the ability to offer our customers a genuinely unique product , and we have a truly world class manufacturing facility .
“ We have a lot to offer but we ’ ve been too quiet of late , and I suspect the industry has forgotten how good this business really is .
“ Swiftframe is a sleeping giant and the email marketing platform incorporated within Salestracker will help us re-engage with installers and allow us to explain how we can give their business an edge over the competition .”
Swiftframe will have access to the ‘ Fenestration ’ database within Salestracker , a detailed list of over 14,000 fabricators and installers featuring detailed business information including products , key people and financials .
