Vertical IQ’s cofounders are former financial professionals, so we understand what it’s like to be in the trenches. We’ve learned that Vertical IQ users are busy professionals, and the reality is that they often don’t have the time to research and read an entire industry-related paper to prepare for a client or prospect meeting.
In order to best help our busy customers, we have to design the most efficient, practical way possible to prepare for meetings—writing and organizing industry-specific information that is digestible, quick, and to-the-point. And this is why we decided to build a Vertical IQ mobile app for both iPhone and Android that’s free to all of our customers.
Now it’s even easier to access Vertical IQ’s industry insights on the go, allowing you to offer clients and prospects the latest industry-specific news and pertinent advice. The app gives you access to all of our 350+ Industry Profiles, each including 10 key chapters, as well as a new tool: a short “Big Picture Video,” which is already getting high marks from users. In fact, one pilot app user said the new Big Picture Video was their “favorite feature to utilize because it allows me to quickly visualize the business, gain insight, and be ready to talk about points of their industry.”
Call prep anytime, anywhere
As a busy professional, you aren’t always sitting at your desk, so the Vertical IQ app lets you easily access industry information no matter where you are. Consider these typical scenarios for when you might want to use the Vertical IQ app for pre-call preparation.
- In the parking lot before you walk into the meeting with the owner of an oil and gas wholesaler.
- In the subway or bus on the way to work when you have a 9:00 conference call with a plastics manufacturer.
- Killing time while waiting in line at the coffee shop before your meeting with a physician practice.
- Waiting in the school carpool line to prep for a meeting first thing in the morning with a HVAC/plumbing contractor.
- And many, many others…
Despite the ease of use, we were very careful to include within the app a majority of the content we currently offer on the full platform, but just in an easy to access manner. One app pilot user noted, “I like that there is a full directory of information available that mimics the desktop version and is easy to navigate. All thumbs up from me!”
