IBISworld Introduces 'I-Expert' Briefing Service



New Quick-Read Industry Overviews for Sales Reps & Others 'Who Need To Know On the Go'

LOS ANGELES (Nov. 15, 2006) -- IBISWorld (http://www.ibisworld.com), publishers of business intelligence research, today introduced "i-Expert," a quick-read overview of business sectors designed for sales people and other time-crunched professionals who need a fast briefing about one of more than 200 top industries.

The new business briefing and sales force tool presents key snapshots about a covered industry, including performance statistics, market segments, regional breakdowns and bullet points on an industry's competitive and volatility environments. The i-Expert briefs are accessible online.

"We're best known for our comprehensive industry reports, but business professionals don't always have the time for a thorough review," says Harvey Jones, IBISWorld vice president. "We designed i-Expert to be a quick but substantive introduction to an industry. It gives a sales person, for example, the ability to understand the dynamics impacting a prospect before making that first critical sales call."

Other i-Expert users might include bankers, marketing managers, insurance professionals and others with need-to-know-now deadlines, Jones said.

A portion of the content in an i-Expert brief is presented in a question-and-answer format, enabling users to learn as they might through a one-on-one conversation with an industry expert. The Q&A format can also help a user prepare for a conversation by offering questions to ask in a business meeting.

"It is no secret that in sales, as in many other business pursuits, knowledge and insight are key assets," Jones added. "Our i-Expert briefs are a powerful resource for giving time-starved professionals the head start they need to be successful."
