What members are saying about Contact Advocate
"I receive more solid business leads in one Exchange event than some of my other groups over an entire year!"

"I closed a technology-related client on a $10 million deal about three months after my first Exchange event!"

"We were able to close over $75,000 worth of printing business in the first few months we were involved from direct and indirect contacts we met at your events."

"I promoted my trade show event, our largest and most important event of the year, through Contact Advocate and its email network of over 55,000 business executives through a New England Exchange sponsorship. Not only did I see a significant spike in attendance but also in tabletop sales, ranging from New York to Boston. I would recommend Contact Advocate and their event promotional tools without hesitation."
