Feature -- Enhanced Service
Tenant ProspeX
Each month we will feature a new Enhanced Service available through Xceligent. This month's focus is Tenant ProspeX. In addition to helping you market your listings, we can help you sell or lease them. Tenant ProspeX is a completely integrated product that is tailored to help you find the next tenant for your property. Users can quickly and easily search for tenant data within the CDX. Thanks to a direct matching of D& B (Dunn & Bradstreet) business data to existing CDX records, Tenant ProspeX users can view any building's tenant roster at the touch of a button.
Building Tenant Roster
The data is not limited to tenants that match buildings in the CDX; users can search over 70,000 Central Ohio company records using a wide range of criteria including: building characteristics, geography, SIC code, industry group, square footage occupied, and movein date. Agents can even access a map to search the Tenant ProspeX database for tenants in a given radius around a property or draw a custom polygon to define a geographic area for a tenant search. To protect your owner relationships, you can easily exclude tenants in buildings listed by anyone in your company with a single click. All data is backed by solid research, cross-referenced with multiple information sources and verified for accuracy.
Tenant Search Screen
Tenant ProspeX reporting options include: Tenant Profile, Call Report, and Mailing Label Report. In addition Tenant ProspeX allows the user to export full company profile data to enable import into Outlook, Act or other CRM databases. Starting at $20.00 per member per month, Tenant ProspeX provides an extremely cost effective means to generate targeted mailing lists and call reports. To start using this valuable, call us today.
