    Slide 39:Profound S.W.O.T. Analysis

    Strengths Weaknesses Opportunities Threats Objection Handling

    Slide 40:Strengths

    Single point of access to over 11,000 news sources and over 170 Market Research Publishers. State of the Art Indexing (SmartTerms) helps users to pinpoint searches by industry, company, subject, geography, & publication. Most cost effective online tool in the marketplace for purchasing market research. Tables of Contents on Profound more detailed than publishers MarketResearch.com slices are bigger making them more costly MarkIntel prices market research by the page

    Slide 41:Strengths Cont’d

    All data loaded in Profound is immediately available for downloading. Many of the reports through MarketResearch.com are available through hard copy delivery only such as Frost & Sullivan No charge for searching or connecting to Profound. No charge for displaying titles or tables of contents. Purchase only what you need. Leverage sub-accounts and statements to recoup costs.

    Slide 42:Profound S.W.O.T. Analysis

    Strengths Weaknesses Opportunities Threats & Objection Handling

    Slide 43:Weaknesses

    Market Research reports are not online immediately upon publication. It takes some time for us to index the reports and make them available through Profound. It is well worth the wait for a client that wants to purchase research by the section. Customers can go direct to the publisher and negotiate a flat fee contract getting them unlimited access to the publisher reports as well as a direct line to their analysts. Flat fee contracts can run $20,000 and up for just one publisher’s reports. This can get quite pricey when you look at the number of publishers out there.

    Target people that use Market Research & News CEO Strategic Planning CIO/CTO/CKO Mergers & Acquisitions New Business Development (Good for Advertising & PR Co’s.) Market Research Market Intelligence Product/Brand Managers Librarians

    Slide 50:Profound S.W.O.T. Analysis

    Strengths Weaknesses Opportunities Threats & Objection Handling

    Slide 51:Objections - How to overcome them

    Prospect “We don’t have the budget to buy market research. Isn’t it really expensive ?”

    Slide 52:Objections - How to overcome them

    Rep “Many market research reports are pricey which is why customers turn to Profound. Profound provides a detailed table of contents breaking down the market research as far down as tables and charts. You can purchase very small sections of the report for a fraction of what it would cost for the full report.”

    Slide 53:Objections - How to overcome them

    Prospect “How do I know that what I am purchasing is relevant? Can I view the research online through Profound before I purchase it?”

    Slide 54:Objections - How to overcome them

    Rep “This is why we provide you a detailed table of contents at no charge. The table of contents is more detailed than the table of contents the publisher provides in the hard copy version of the report. The Profound system highlights your search terms in the table of contents (KWIC) to help you determine the relevance of the reports.”

    Slide 55:Objections - How to overcome them

    Prospect “Why does your report dated December 2004 have 2003 sales data in it? Don’t you have anything more up to date?”

    Slide 56:Objections - How to overcome them

    Rep “It takes several months for a publisher to develop a study. The reports provide a very extensive overview of the industry, the market participants, market shares, etc. There are sections in the reports that will provide market projections out 5 or more years.” “You can tap into our news database which search over 11,000 sources; including newspapers, magazines, and newswires. These sources are updated daily, weekly & monthly, depending on the source.”

    Slide 57:Objections - How to overcome them

    Prospect “Can I have a trial? I want to show the product to more people within my company.”

    Slide 58:Objections - How to overcome them

    Rep “We don’t offer trials on Profound based on our agreements with the Market Research Providers. If you can share with me some of the things you are working on, I would be happy to run searches while I am here and show you the information available. You can also email some things you are interested in after you have spoken with your colleagues and we will fax you tables of contents from reports that match you requests.”

    Slide 59:Objections - How to overcome them

    Prospect “We use MarketResearch.com.”

    Slide 60:Objections - How to overcome them

    Rep “Many clients that use MarketResearch.com have switched to Profound for the following reasons: Deeper archive of reports More flexibility when purchasing reports Many of the reports through MarketResearch.com are only available via hard copy and you have to wait for them to be mailed to you. All of the reports in Profound are immediately available for download. MarketResearch.com offers some reports by the slice but the slices are more expensive because the sections are larger. The Profound table of contents are more granular.

    Slide 61:Objections - How to overcome them

    Prospect “We have a subscription to Datamonitor directly. We don’t need Profound.”

    Slide 62:Objections - How to overcome them

    Rep “Through Profound we can give you access to over 170 Market Research publishers. This will enable you to take a true, unbiased view of your marketplace rather than concentrating on the view of one publisher” “Your subscription with Datamonitor allows you to take full reports when studies show that only 20% is utilized. Through Profound we can enable you to purchase only the 20% you need.” “ Maybe look at accessing Profound to compliment your Datamonitor subscription – they won’t cover all the areas that Profound does”

    Slide 63:Objections - How to overcome them

    Prospect “How does your Newsroom service compare to Factiva?.”

    Slide 64:Objections - How to overcome them

    Rep “……… Newsroom offers 11,000 sources, Factiva may claim to offer 9,500 may be even 12,000 sources – but so what? – Newsroom has all the major news sources - as I would like to think Factiva do… “ Newsroom’s interface has been designed to be user friendly – and I would like to think Factiva’s interface is user friendly too – but so what?.” “ Newsroom’s key advantage over Factiva is that Newsroom offer’s true flat fee pricing, Factiva cannot offer this so Factiva end users have to tread carefully when they download news stories as otherwise when their Factiva agreement renews they will get hit with a big uplift”

    Slide 65:Summary

    Profound is the world’s largest collection of online market research and when combined with Newsroom’s 11,000 news sources an end user will have access to the world’s largest collection of online business information
