Our B2B Partner Research Tool is versatile and can be applied in various business scenarios. Here are two specific use cases:
Marketing agencies can use this tool to thoroughly vet potential clients who are interested in pay-for-performance contracts. The tool helps agencies:
- Assess the client's financial stability and payment history

- Analyze the client's industry and competitive landscape
- Review the client's previous marketing efforts and results
By leveraging these insights, marketing agencies can make informed decisions about which clients to take on, ensuring they partner with businesses that have a high likelihood of success and timely payments.
Construction companies can utilize this tool to vet potential subcontractors, ensuring they partner with reliable and qualified businesses. The tool assists in:
- Verifying subcontractors' licensing and certifications
- Assessing subcontractors' financial health and stability
- Evaluating past project performance and client satisfaction
- Checking safety records and compliance with regulations
- Analyzing the subcontractor's capacity to handle the proposed work
By using the B2B Partner Research Tool, construction companies can mitigate risks associated with subcontractor selection, leading to smoother project execution and higher-quality outcomes.
