“Ryan and his colleagues were delightful to work with. We engaged their firm to produce a prospect research project, using the zip codes, and giving trends using the Donor Search Tool. This was our introduction to the wealth management software. The project created for us an independent index of wealthy individuals we should be targeting in our area, irrespective of our own marketplace experiences.”
