My Contact Shop & Search Options

Good day folks!

It has been a tiring vacation leave for yours truly so forgive and forget if I haven't updated you on well, anything lately. Who knew taking a vacation could be this tiring, I feel like I was on a marathon the whole week.

But nevertheless, we are still getting some interesting queries from our ever relentless yet well-intentioned users. Let me just post a few of their questions regarding our website, www.thenewlead.com:

1. Where do I look for my submitted and verified contacts in my account?

You can just go to Contact Library >> My Contact Shop

and from there you'd be able to view & even export your submitted and validated contacts. Think of  TheNewLead as a database management for accurate, verified contacts.

2. Is there any other selection criteria when I'm searching for contacts?

Yes there is, we do have the Quick Search, that's available in the homepage

in which you can quickly type or copy/paste the company name and select its industry and the location.

We also have the general search function in the Search & Buy >> Search Contacts

 which has the search options such as name/email, company, department group and the job title.

The Search Company has a simpler search option, you only have to type in the company name or website.

But aside from the general search options, we do have the Advanced Search option, located underneath the basic search criteria.

For the Search Contact >> Advanced Search, you have the following search options:
1. Country - City (State if applicable)
2. Industry & sub-industry
3. Postal code
4. No. of employees
5. And the option to filter out contacts that were submittedupdated by this user at a given date

The Search Company >> Advanced Search is similar, just the SIC code is added.

Keep in mind that we're currently redesigning the whole website so if you do have any suggestion on how to make the searching of contacts faster, more efficient or if you want to add any ideas, please just post them on the comments section or you can head over to our forum, www.thenewlead.activeboard.com and just post your feedback there.

Manage and Share your Contacts Online

I came upon this small business community forum wherein a a member is asking if anyone is using an online (preferably free or low cost) contact manager. He wants to store all his contacts online so his business partner & colleagues can access & update their contacts anytime they want.

It's quite amusing to read something that we're already producing as of the moment. Actually, we already have that in our site, www.thenewlead.com. But we're just making it better in the newly revamped site which we'll hopefully be able to launch before the year ends. Why redesign the whole website? You'll see.

In the current website, just submit your contacts and you'd be given points for the the accurate & valid ones. Once your contacts have already been approved, you'll be able to check them in the Contact Library >> My Contact Shop.

Do you want to ask again "Why redesign the whole website?" or did that image above answered the question?


Anyway, you'd be given a summary of your uploaded contacts in your TheNewLead account; the total number, how many you've submitted for this month and for today. You can also view your submitted contacts, purchased ones & also those which you have updated in the website. Yes, you can update contacts and get points for those but lets focus first on managing your contacts online.

Now click on a particular contact, lets say "Contact 1" and you'd be immediately transferred to this page:

This page allows you to keep track of a specific contact, you can edit the information and you can also schedule an activity regarding that particular contact, eg., call contact on tuesday.

Contact information would contain the following:

1. full contact name

2. contact's job title

3. direct phone no. of contact

4. business email address

5. contact's full company 

6. company address

If you want share your contacts with someone in your company, just create a sub-account and they'll be able to view those contacts immediately.

Keep in mind that we're making total, huge improvements in thenewlead website so it'll be easier to use and will also be easier on the eyes. 

If you do have any suggestions, don't hesitate to post them here in our blog or visit our forum, www.thenewlead.activeboard.com.
