Description:
Deal Acceleration is the only social networking platform dedicated to driving B2B and B2C revenue growth while providing the best user and buyer experience. Deal Acceleration employs proprietary technology based on three developments that allow users to search, find, connect with, and manage transaction opportunities. They include an innovative search tool, an opportunity management tool, and a way to manage lead generation from within the Deal Acceleration website.
Deal Acceleration adds more sales value than other social media sites. Our uses enjoy a comprehensive user experience using search and social media tools that are comfortable and effortless. The Deal Acceleration website is an interactive platform designed to support business transactions, combining online marketing and sales functions with a robust social networking functionality. In merging these different—but complementary—online tools, we have created a powerful selling and purchasing apparatus not available elsewhere.
The interactivity provides advantages to Deal Acceleration and it’s users:
• Community members become Deal Acceleration advocates
• Networking and purposeful conversation are supported by our unique combination of online tools
• Information exchange is faster through our search and social media functionality
This Deal Acceleration website serves both the seller and the buyer by accelerating product search, product selection, outbound seller communications (marketing and advertising) and buyer query and input. Most importantly, Deal Acceleration promotes and facilitates the buyer-seller conversation so necessary in today’s online marketplace, effectively creating the first social media site designed to facilitate transactions among businesses and consumers.
Value Statement
It is important to distinguish our model from prevailing models. Because we mesh the best of social networking with online selling, a comparison to both is helpful.
Social networking is the interaction among people in which they create, share, or exchange information and ideas in virtual communities and networks. Deal Acceleration does that.
Supporting business isn’t limited to selling products and services. As a communications channel, Deal Acceleration helps in others ways, such as allowing users to find products or materials they need, recruit staff, find equipment, and much more. The user’s ability to search among company profiles that include descriptions, contact information, featured products, and other information, and manage conversations between all parties adds additional value for the user.
