When generating leads, or creating a marketing strategy, understanding your target audience is crucial to success. You need to know everything about your target market: their likes, dislikes, age, gender, money habits, if they rent or own a house, and their credit situation.
Once you understand this information, it is much easier to create a marketing strategy that will bring about real leads and then turn into real opportunities for you and connect them with other industries.
When you generate leads and then pre-qualify your customers for a specific industry (equipment, solar, vehicles, personal loans, business loans, or anything else), you are then able to hand them off to companies within that industry to make the sale and make it happen. To have the most success, with the smallest amount of risk, you need to find the client and then check their financial history.
Types of lead generation and software businesses we work with:
- CRM
- Lead management companies
- Companies that have onboarding software
- Practice management software (medical industry)
- Loan origination systems
- Tools for underwriters
This isn't a comprehensive list, and we'd love to answer any questions about your industry and using our services. Give us a call today!
Why Software and Lead Gen Companies Need A Powerful Credit Reporting System
No matter your exact business plan or strategy, a common element across the lead generation and software industries is the ability to run a credit check on your clients. There are a lot of reasons why you may need to do this (discover your market, find customers in that market, or pre-qualify them for loans going forward), and each of these reasons can lead to success in the future.
Regardless of your reasons, it is crucial that this report is complete, accurate, simple to get, and gathered quickly. Understanding a client's credit history allows you to market to them accurately. This information enables you to direct them to partners in the right industry with equipment, loans, or solar that meets their monetary ability.
Some industries can't pre-approve clients to make these big purchases. This inability makes the marketing and lead generation industry invaluable because they can save companies and people valuable time and money.
Another reason businesses in the marketing and lead generation industry need an accurate credit reporting software is that it allows you to focus on your specific market and then understand who to match them with. The information available on the credit report allows you to evaluate the risks involved in a loan and move forward with the right information.
Finally, running a soft check on your clients won't impact their credit score. It gives you the necessary information without negatively influencing your client's credit score. This often results in increased return traffic and more success moving forward.

Benefits of Soft Pull Credit Reporting
There are a lot of benefits to utilizing Soft Pull Solutions as a business in the lead gen and software industry. Our custom API integration makes it easy to customize our software to fit your individual business needs. Our software derives credit reports from the three largest credit bureaus (Equifax, TransUnion, and Experian), meaning our software's credit reports are composed of the most accurate information available.
Gain Leads
In order to run a soft credit check, all you need is verbal consent, their name, and their address. Running this check doesn't require personal or sensitive information (social security number or birth date). Often, once you run a soft check on a client, they are more likely to stick with you until you pre-approve them and refer them to another industry. You can turn more people into serious customers and make successful referrals by running these soft checks.
Minimal Paperwork
Running these soft credit checks are much simpler because a client can fill out a simple online pre-qualification application. This application is much simpler and more straightforward than hard check applications. It also saves customers from having to give out their sensitive personal information. Without all this paperwork, it also means that you can run the check and gain the report much faster. Generating this report helps speed up the timeline and helps you run your business much more productively.
Market More Efficiently
Having the ability to run soft checks on your clients allows you to gather more information on them and market effectively. You can gain valuable information that will help you perform the best referral and negotiate more effectively. It allows you also to have a greater understanding of their risks. Having this information allows you to market your business more effectively in a way that will generate more leads going forward.
