Sheffield Chamber takes the Lead with new patron

14th January 2014

Sheffield Chamber of Commerce has signed an international lead generation business as a patron for 2014.

Lead Forensics is an online lead generation solution which enables companies to identify which anonymous businesses have visited their website, when, which pages and for how long. The company was established in 2009 and employs 120 staff across the world, with 105 based in Portsmouth and 15 in Atlanta, USA. It is part the Market Makers group, a B2B telemarketing company. Lead Forensics is keen to raise its profile in the Sheffield City Region and has joined forces with the Chamber through the patronage, as well as providing assistance to the organisation's own website to assess which companies are viewing information online. Lead Forensics is already a patron at the Chambers of Commerce in Hampshire and Surrey, as well as the British Chambers of Commerce. Ray Wright, global head of partnership at Lead Forensics, said: -We are delighted to join the Sheffield Chamber as patron. It is a very proactive Chamber which provides a range of services to members offering support to help grow their business. -We are looking forward to working with them, liaising with businesses in the Sheffield City Region and attending key networking events through the year. -Our technology provides businesses with a greater understanding of which companies are visiting their website. It helps maximise their online presence and helps turn those unknown visitors into potential business leads. -The software enables companies, both small and large, to see what other businesses are interested to know about them and help build potential partnerships through the knowledge. Amanda Pilgrim, head of business development at Sheffield Chamber, added: -We are constantly looking for ways we can give our members an edge in what is a very competitive world. -This forward-thinking piece of technology has generated interest from companies around the world and we look forward to working with Lead Forensics closely in the future. We feel this could add significant value to companies in Sheffield and turn website traffic into a viable business tool. -By partnering with Lead Forensics we will also be able to analyse what type of businesses want support from the Chamber and what they need more effectively which will allow us to tailor our services accordingly.
