BrilliantHub Web Services Save Time

Our flagship Claris FileMaker-based business solution, BrilliantHub, provides one click access to many essential web services so that you can find information quickly without the need go to a specific website and retype various information you already have entered into your contact database.

Many of the search sites used in BrilliantHub web services are an implementation of ideas found in Sam Richter’s book Take The Cold Out of Cold Calling – Web Search Secrets which is a great reference. Harvey Mackay, author of “Swim With the Shark’s” recommended the book as a must have for all sales and business development people. It’s all about having business intelligence for free and at your fingertips. Get the book if you want to learn how to do the searches on your own and get BrilliantHub if you want to do it the easy way. Using BrilliantHub is even faster and is less “browser clutter” than using the Warm Call Tool Bar software provided by Sam’s company because you don’t need to retype anything. The searches just use the information you’ve already entered in your master BrilliantHub contact management system.
