What Subscribers Say
Salespeople/Business Development
"Your site is of tremendous value. Keep the funny comments -- it makes a day of cold calls go down easier. It is a great productivity tool -- and saves us a fortune in list-buying."
Carl F Albrecht -- Image Technology Solutions
"Because there is so much information available on the Web, customers now expect me to walk in with a deep understanding of their business. So I spend a lot of time on "pre-call" work -- going to Hoover's Online to track down financial information about each company, gathering and reading news clips about each industry. My job is to help customers build better, more successful businesses. I use Hoover's Online to become a better, more successful businessman."
David Armstrong -- UPS
"Having the most current information is critical to our efforts here at Mayer, Brown & Platt, and I truly appreciate finding and using a site that can add to my ability to do my job well and enhance the firm's efforts. Your site really helped me cut through the dross and find the "gems" of info I needed. Thanks."
Maureen T. Noonan -- Mayer, Brown & Platt
"Keep up the great work -- this site is a lifeline for my job!"
John McDermott -- IBM
"I think your website is absolutely great, and know of many other people in the financial industry that use it as well."
Gal A. Lavid -- NASDAQ
"I just wanted to let you know that we are absolutely thrilled with our Hoover's subscription. This is going to pay for itself in no time. We have a happier sales force as a result of this valuable tool."
Joy Corrigan -- eSource Corp.
Researchers/Analysts
"I use Hoovers every day and find it invaluable -- in fact, I couldn't do without it!"
Joanna Tilsley -- Eversheds -- Business Lawyers in Europe
"A marvelous, well-designed business site... Highly recommended for public, academic, and individual libraries."
Ed Tallent -- Harvard College Library
"It's one of our students' favorite resources -- one-stop shopping for company information."
Jamie King -- UT Austin Business School
"I am almost always looking to verify corporate affiliations. I track the top US-based and multinational companies. These types of companies are complex (many names, many markets, many industry segments) and are merger and acquisition maniacs. Your researchers and writers capture the precise essence of what I need: who owns who and by what percent, and former affiliations. A feature I adore is mergers and name changes: if I search your site for an obsolete name, you will often return the new one. Every time this happens I let out a whoop. Hoover's is my primary source for international companies. Hoover's provides the full legal name and often the anglicized alias. Both are helpful to me. Hoover's is really remarkable with foreign-based corporations."
Staff Manager -- Telecommunication Services Company
"In my job as a conference director, I rely on up-to-date information from a variety of industries. I subscribe to a number of list bots, online newsletters, and news items, but Hoover's is by far the best. I just wanted to write to say thank you and keep up the good work!"
International Conference Director
Staffing Services/HR Professionals
"I have been a long-time Hoover's Online subscriber, and the new Hoover's search gives me much more accurate, inclusive results and helps keep me one step ahead of my peers and competitors. The increased speed, organization and volume of results with this new search feature put me even further ahead. I've used it for hours at a time, and it flies."
Technical Recruiter -- Online Career Resource
"I love Hoover's. I've been using your service for several years now. I am a headhunter and [Hoover's] has proven invaluable for me. I find companies; I find out where companies are; I find out the competition; I find out who works at these companies; I find categories of companies, etc., etc. Again, thank you for making Hoover's so user-friendly and for helping me to do my job better."
Mark Turvin -- HR Consultant
Executives
"I really love your site. I have been using it for research for several years. You guys are great!"
Jay Schwartz -- Ian Schrager Hotels
"Your customer feedback is unbelievably good. I am so accustomed to little or no customer service with online companies. Your service rep immediately returned my e-mail and followed up with a telephone call to help with my log-in problem. In addition, when I returned Sarah's call, the telephone was answered by a live person, who promptly forwarded my call to Sarah. What a novel concept! I suppose one should take this level of response for granted, but because customer service has dropped so significantly in the online world and with automated telephone response systems, I wanted to take the time to write and thank you. I am taking the time to write this e-mail about a positive experience, and I am still spending less time than I would spend just solving the initial problem on other sites."
Kevin McBride -- VentureStage Partners
"We hit your site regularly in search of potential markets for our services. We entered Mergers & Acquisitions into your "search box" on your home page and it was the first item to pop up under news with 91% probability of having the info we were seeking. And your search engine was absolutely correct. Your site consistently provides the kind of info we are seeking or links to places to get it."
Will Lutgen, Jr. -- Rolling Thunder Media
