More Info
net prospector is a labor saving search device. As you search the web, many search engines,
such as Google, do a great job of giving you relevant results. But suppose you only want to get
pages which contain addresses or phone numbers. And suppose you want to export this list to
Excel, or into Microsoft Outlook. Or make a web page type report.
In this case the search engines don't really help you at all. For instance, if you are
selling a medical device, and want to find hospitals you could call, or mail a brochure to, how
would you find them if you are using the Search engines, such as Google or Bing?
Here is how you would do it:
- Open up a web browser.
- Type in 'www.google.com'
- Press enter.
- Enter your criteria to search for: 'hospital'.
- Press enter.
- Open up the first relevant looking link it gives you.
- If it is a hospital, look for a 'Contact us' page, or 'Company Information'.
- If you are lucky enough to find an address, you can commence attempting to copy and paste
relevant parts of the address into 'Notepad'.
- Look for the phone number, and do the same.
- Look for the web site, and do the same.
- Finally, enter the found information into a contact manager, or Excel, with great manual
effort.
- Now repeat the above 5 steps about 200 times, depending how many relevant links the search
engine gave you.
Or
Use net prospector to do the same thing in about 3 steps, after which it will continue
for minutes or even hours scouring the web, while you do something else.
- Open up net prospector.
- Click 'Filters'
- Click 'Addresses and Leads'
- Check the box find all 'Addresses and Leads'.
- Click the 'Search' tab
- Enter 'hospital'
- Press 'Search'
- That's it.
- Sit back and watch the leads pile up in the net prospector database.
- Click 'Stop Search' at any time (you can continue the same search at any time with no loss of
data or leads).
- Now to export the data to Excel for instance, click the 'Actions' tab.
- Click 'Export to Excel'
- Click 'yes' to the 'Export to Excel' prompt.
- Wait a few seconds while all the found leads are exported to Excel.
- The export finishes, and an Excel spreadsheet opens up.
