Spire Project Seeks a Partner for Database Search Services.

The most beautiful way to serve database search services is to entice potential clients with liberal guidance to free information resources, then tell them - and sell them - simple access to the commercial resources.

This idea is so beautiful for two reasons:
1_ Free guidance truly helps making for appreciative and receptive users.
2_ This is a far cheaper way to gain and retain clients.

As you can see, I firmly believe the current love of big-budget advertising/marketing is misguided and shortsighted.

Research services should be sold as a relationship - even if the relationship consists solely of the commercial transaction undertaken by phone, remotely, with little or no follow-up.

The Spire Project is achieving the first stages of this kind of research assistance. For the project to succeed, we seek to forge close connections with a collection of database searchers. Rather than built a collection (or cooperative) of database searchers from scratch, perhaps there is someone out there working on the other half of this equation.

Are you interested in a Partnership, Outright Purchase or Purchase plus employment? If so, contact me privately at david @ spireproject.com

As other sites have focused on developing vast archives of links, the Spire Project has worked to hold the hand of the searcher, to actually assist the process of finding information. We create resources to pull the searcher through the free resources, towards the commercial resources.

We currently have no commercial database services to deliver, and I would prefer to focus more attention on preparing the Spire Project internet resources.

Before I rush off and build a structure to deliver quality research services, and I mean database searches in particular, is there someone out there seeking an internet structure to sell research services?
