From Speed Networking to Smart Networking

Fast Pitch! today announced the recent launch of Fast Match's8482; it's8217;s online networking service that uses suggestive technology to 's8220;match's8221; business professionals with the buyers and sellers they are looking to connect to. The new service now serves as the cornerstone to the Fast Pitch! vision of becoming the leading business networking destination.

Fast Pitch! launched the new service in response to the needs of thousands of current Fast Pitch! customers who have taken part in it's8217;s 500+ networking events around the country over the past two years. Each customer now has an online profile within the Fast Pitch! system which allows Fast Match's8482; to recommend potential customers and business partners based on the characteristics of each company.

's8220;We's8217;ve always been at the forefront of bringing people together efficiently and effectively,'s8221; said Bill Jula, CEO and Founder. 's8220;Professionals, particularly small business owners, sales executives and marketing managers are always looking for better, more direct ways of finding new business. With Fast Match's8482; we's8217;re adding a layer of intelligence to the equation, eliminating the middle-man, and basically serving up new business right to their inbox.'s8221;

Since the initial launch of the system one week ago, Fast Pitch! has witnessed a surge in the creation of new profiles as well as a significant increase in overall web traffic as more and more people have learned about the new system. 's8220;Completing the Fast Pitch! Profile has forced me to sharpen my focus on what matters most in my business,'s8221; said John Wyche of Stone Ridge Consulting. 's8220;The format does a great job of communicating to the world exactly what I offer and what I am looking for.'s8221;

Unlike many websites which offer the ability to create an online profile, Fast Pitch! is the first to offer a profile that is dedicated entirely to characteristics about the persons BUSINESS. By outlining key information about each company, such as it's8217;s competitive advantages, it's8217;s ideal customer and business partner types, as well as future purchasing decisions, the system is able to match businesses to one another based on a layer of quantitative intelligence not found anywhere in the world.

Jula is quick to point out that although much of the business is moving online, the company is not moving in the direction of social networking, nor is it abandoning it's8217;s online and on-site speed networking events. 's8220;We's8217;re of the belief that although relationships play an important role in networking, the potential for generating new business first begins with the simple premise of whether there is a match between buyer and seller,'s8221; said Jula. 's8220;When there is a match, the two parties will want to connect, eliminating the need for a referral altogether. Social networking is great for dating or job-search, but in terms of actually finding new business opportunities, it has its limitations. This is where we's8217;re different.'s8221;

For a limited time, Fast Pitch! is offering 5 free leads to anyone who creates or updates their online profile. Once logged-in to the system, users are directed to a list of hundreds of potential customers and business partners to connect with. After reviewing a profile and determining that a person is worth connecting with, personal contact information is revealed allowing the user to communicate directly with the person via email, telephone or mail. Once the contact information is revealed, the user owns the lead forever. Leads will cost anywhere from .50 to $1.00 depending on the number of leads purchased.
