Resource Nation has leveraged our relationship with Experian, a global leader of information services, to assist in the prescreening of each vendor in our network. The prescreening process helps to reduce the risk of working with a questionable company and allows buyers to view detailed background information on each of the vendors in our network.
As vendors join Resource Nation's network, a search is done to identify the vendor in Experian's database. If a report is available, Experian® is simply verifying that the business was in good standing with its state business filing at the time the report was run. Vendors that have a full Experian report available will say "prescreened" next to the contact information with a link to the Experian report.
The Experian report may include the following information:
Verify state business filings: Includes business entity type and registered address for the business
Verify the years in business/established: Years in business are calculated from the time the report was last generated by Experian
Search for aliases: The Experian reports provide registered DBAs for the business
Search for judgments: The Experian reports provide a list of registered judgments for the business
Search for bankruptcies or liens: The Experian reports provide a list of bankruptcies and liens on the business
Identify verification: (reverse phone lookup) An attempt is made to match the phone number provided by the vendor to the phone number on the Experian report or to match the number to the business that registered to join Resource Nation's network.*
Company revenue and number of employees: This data is not available for all businesses
Company collection and credit review
Resource Nation attempts to prescreen every vendor in our network, however, not all vendors may have a report available (E.g. a new sole proprietor may not yet have a report available.)
Even after viewing a full report, it is recommended that buyer conduct their own due diligence before selecting a vendor.
Resource Nation uses Experian as an independent third party to provide information on each of the vendors in our network (or to mark that a report is not available). Experian may not have all state filing information. Please check with the appropriate government agency for up to date information. While Resource Nation may view the additional information in the report and in some cases may exclude a vendor from its network, Resource Nation is not representing that the information in the Experian reports would qualify the vendor to perform the services requested by the buyer. Through the links provided by Resource Nation, buyers are able to purchase the full Experian report for $8/report or $29.92/report and perform their own due diligence to make a judgment on their own. Buyers agree not to rely solely on the Experian Reports or Resource Nation's pre-screening process when choosing a vendor and therefore hold harmless and release Resource Nation for any such claims.
* In some cases the vendor's business phone number cannot be verified to match the number on a credit report. Purchasers are encouraged to purchase the full Experian report to perform their own background checks and identify verification.

Quick Guide to Lead Generation
What is lead generation?
Lead generation is not a new concept, but the popularity of the Internet has made is so that a business can outsource its lead generation activities and receive great results. There are many companies that specialize in generating leads for other companies. Lead generation companies use their own, proprietary methods for collecting leads in specific categories and then they distribute to various clients. Clients can generally pay per lead or pay per sale; payment structure really depends on how the lead generation company is structured.
How your company can benefit from outsourcing its lead generation activities
Many companies don't have the budget or the ability to generate a steady stream of leads. Therefore, they look to outsource their lead generation. By outsourcing this activity a business can save time and money by not having to develop an infrastructure to generate leads.
A company can take a small amount of its marketing budget and earmark it for lead generation. Think about how nice it would be to come in every morning to find hot new leads in your inbox.
Lead generation can be an extremely cost effective way to increase your business. You may end up paying anywhere from $5 to $30 per lead, and if you happen to close 10-20% of those leads then your return on investment can be significant (depending upon the price of your services).
How to make the most of your lead generation activities
You have to be a good salesman or have your sales process dialed-in so that you can make the most of lead generation activities. These are leads, not sales. You still need to get on the phone and call these leads in order to close the deal.
Set a reasonable budget for lead generation. Something that won't break the marketing piggy bank, but enough to allow you to properly test out the service. If you stop after only a couple of leads, then you haven't properly tested out the service.
Take the time to talk with multiple lead generation companies to see who is the right fit for you. Happy lead hunting.
