We’ve Been Obsessed With Capturing
High-Quality Leads Since 2008.
Our Story
In the late 1990’s and early 2000’s, Dale Underwood co-founded several successful Information Technology companies including QStar Technologies, CommVault and Marzik Inc., a Commercial Equipment dealer/reseller.
During his time at Marzik, Mr. Underwood realized that customers were doing their own research and only contacting Marzik at the time of purchase, negatively affecting profit margins.
With sales margins dropping, Mr. Underwood started EchoQuote in 2008 to address three emerging trends in the B2B sales market:
- B2B Buyers need pricing early in the Sales Cycle to understand and budget for solutions, but don’t want the hassle of contacting sales.
- Sales wants qualified prospects but needs to stay in control of who gets pricing and how it’s positioned.
- Marketing sees pricing transparency as a new way to capture high-quality leads and improve marketing’s return on investment.
EchoQuote was built to solve all three.
Today, EchoQuote has evolved into SafePrice.io to better reflect the challenges that B2B manufacturers face when trying to balance price transparency with Sales control.
Why does modern Lead Generation require a different approach?
