Researcher Operations - Bird-Dogs

Strategic Research Network is a national research company that helps entrepreneurs launch their own independent research business. Researchers are fully trained and supported by SRN to conduct research for clients, but the most frequent concern for new Researchers is how to secure clients in the first place.

The average Researcher enjoys the "research process" much more than actually “selling” their services. SRN teaches Researchers to develop a team of talented salespeople who can sell research services for them on commission.

The sales professionals act as “bird-dogs” and use their skills to locate and retrieve leads for the Researcher. This "bird-dog" approach enables the Researcher to focus their time on what they do best - conducting research.

SRN management has found that sales professionals recognize the value in a Researcher’s services and are typically very interested in selling their services on a commission basis. These sales professionals’ current clients typically need a Researcher’s services anyway, allowing them to simply add Research to the package.

SRN Researchers are fully trained to locate salespeople, market to them, and negotiate a contract. Once a team is secured, SRN Researchers can easily manage their "virtual" sales team and track their activity with clients through the provided SRN technology.

By using SRN’s in-depth research software and state-of-the art technology tools, as well as our unique "virtual" structure, SRN Researchers work more efficiently and are more likely to make a higher profit than their competition, without the costly overhead.

With a team of salespeople acting as "bird-dogs" and selling their services, a Researcher’s business usually expands beyond what they alone can handle. This is good news for both the Researcher and the SRN Network. When a Researcher’s work load becomes too much they can Subcontract work down to other Researchers in the Network.

During the National Conference in Denver this past June, we sat down and conducted candid interviews on-camera with several Researchers. A husband/wife team that is currently using the "bird-dog" approach with their business spoke with us candidly about the benefits to their business. You can listen to them speak about their "bird-dog" approach at an archived version of the interview.
