With Keyconex, the World is Your Oyster

Right now the possibilities of companies to work with is limited by the house hold name national brands, the prominent local companies around you, and whatever companies have paid the most to be featured high in the Google results. There’s a whole world of businesses out there that you don’t know about. While you’re making do working with a company that kind of meets your needs, there could be a company out there that meets your needs exactly but how would you ever know?

Stepping out of your comfort zone to try out a new way of finding products and services could allow you to broaden your horizons. The world is getting smaller every day. You don’t just have to be a national company anymore, you have to be a global company. But how do you take advantages of these global opportunities? Keyconex is a new B2B social network that connects businesses that are either across the street or across the globe.

Who wouldn’t want their business to grow? But growing involves working with partners you haven’t met, finding resources not in your budget, with time you don’t have. Keyconex can connect you with all of this. Using Keyconex means you have access to a community of global product and service providers. Everything you need is only a few clicks away. Is it just us, or did the world just get a whole lot smaller?

Not only is it easier to find companies, Keyconex also makes it a lot easier for companies to find what you offer. With a free Keyconex profile, potential customers can find you by searching for your name, but when you purchase a subscription you can add keywords like skills, location, and language to be found more frequently in the search results.

You may speak a different language, live in a different part of the world, and use a different currency, but with Keyconex being your translator you’ll find you’re a lot more similar than you are different. We’re not up and running yet, but if you connect with us on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Pinterest and Google+ you’ll be the first person who knows when we launch.

Keyconex, Not Your Average Social Network

Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Google+, Blogger, Snap Chat, Reddit, Vine, MySpace, Periscope…There’s a million social networks out there and it seems like a new one comes out every day. And they all do some version of posting pictures, statuses, and videos to share with your peers. So why should you figure out another social network?

Keyconex is built to stand out from the pack of all the same social networks. First of all, we’re here to connect the business-to-business industry. Instead of connecting one individual with another, Keyconex connects one business with another business. Just how LinkedIn connects the business community on an individual basis, Keyconex will connect companies with each other.

Also, the majority of all these social networks are for fun. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and more serve to entertain, connect, and inform us. Sure businesses can use these social networks to connect with their audience and advertise, but that’s not what it was created for. Only LinkedIn was designed to connect business people with their colleagues, but still that is only on an individual basis. 

Keyconex has a real purpose beyond networking for businesses too. Here’s a problem businesses commonly face: they want a new business partner, supplier, or investor, but don’t know how to go about finding them. They try a Google search, but they’re bombarded with thousands of search results that aren’t what they’re looking for. Or you sign up for a freelancer website only to have applicants not respond back and have an added fee tacked onto their hourly rate. Keyconex solves that problem.

Businesses looking for new products and services can save time by utilizing the Keyconex network of products and services. Instead of searching with Google, you won’t get any sponsored or unrelated results in Keyconex. It works great for those businesses who want to showcase what they offer on Keyconex as well. For a reasonable monthly or annual rate, companies can build a Keyconex profile to showcase what they have to offer. Not only that, but they have access to customers that are interested in their products and services. That’s not advertising; that’s a new source of customers. It’s a win-win for both types of businesses. Those looking for products can find it simply and rest assured is a credible business and those providing can get new customers, expanding their market to the entire world.

Social media marketing is already being seen as a real business tool, but now you’re convinced that Keyconex is made for those in the business community. There’s no cat videos or Buzzfeed articles here. Keyconex just solves a problem that almost every business faces. Count down the days until we launch in September and follow us on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Pinterest and Google+ while you wait.

Meet your newest Salesman

No matter how big or small your company already is, you have dreams of bringing it to the next level. You’ve tried a thousand different ways to grow it. Magazine ads, billboards, radio spots, another website redesign, told everyone you’ve encountered about your business, and even trusted an advertising agency who swore they would make your band a household name. But none of it worked out as you hoped, did it?

It’s no secret that business owners don’t have a lot of free time on their hands. Between bookkeeping, managing employees, targeting new customers, and working with existing customers, there’s little to no time left to deal with advertising. So instead you shell out the big bucks to get someone else to carry it out for you.

Traditional advertising costs a fortune. The average cost for a national 30 second commercial is around $350,000, a 30 second radio spot starts at $2,000, a magazine ad costs up to $25,000 for a full page ad, and a national newspaper ad costs around $28,000 for a half-page. Unlike with digital media, you can’t tell exactly how many people actually viewed your ad once it’s aired. Sure, they’ll give you an idea of how many impressions the TV show gets, but what if most of the viewers turned the channel or fast-forwarded through your ad and missed it? All of these traditional mediums aren’t a sure thing either. Once you do get a hold of the audience who saw you ads, you still have to close the sale yourself.

How much would you pay for a service where businesses all around the world are searching for exactly what your company offers? Keyconex subscription packages start at a monthly rate far less than a traditional marketing campaign and provide much more. At that price, Keyconex is the cheapest salesperson you’ll ever employ and also the most effective. When a potential customer finds you through Keyconex, you know they’re interested in the products and services you provide.

Ready to sign up yet? Well you can’t just now because Keyconex doesn’t launch until September, but we want you to be the first one to sign up. Until then, follow us on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Pinterest and Google+ for more information about how Keyconex can help your business grow.

Finally, a better alternative to a Google Search

When you want to find a new restaurant, where you go? You do a Google search. When you want to get directions to your vacation spot, you do a Google search. For easy quick questions, Google is the perfect database of information to turn to. You have a question and Google has an answer.

Choosing a new business partner is a lot like choosing a spouse. You have to go through a lot of the wrong partners to find the right one, once you find them, you tend to be together for a long time, and when the partnership fails it leads to a messy separation. So do you really want to trust a simple fix like Google to a decision as important as finding a new business partner?

Back when the internet was a lot better place, Google provided more organic results. When you searched for a Web Designer in San Francisco, you got genuinely the best result. But now, there are so many ways for Google results to be skewed.

The first way you aren’t getting true results from Google, is by their Sponsored Results. You know, they’re the top three results that are boxed in and say sponsored in fine print. It’s easy to think that they are the best results because at first glance, they’re relevant to your search and they’re at the very top. But these results are paying big bucks to show up for what you searched. Once you click on these results, you may find it’s not really what you were looking for. Then, you get so distracted you forgot what you were looking for in the first place.

Another way Google makes it hard to find the right results is through their algorithm. It’s a really complicated procedure to come up with the results and in what order they’ll come in. And miraculously, Google fulfills this algorithm in less than a second for every search. But there’s methods aren’t set in stone. There are approved methods of approved methods of improving a website’s SEO called “white hat” methods and unapproved methods of improving SEO called “black hat” methods. So Google isn’t putting the best results first, they’re putting the ones that follow their rules first.

With all of these distractions, it’s no wonder you can’t find what you’re looking for in the Google results. So, what’s the alternative to finding a trusted business partner online? It’s an entirely new kind of social network called Keyconex that is geared for the Business-to-Business community. Keyconex saw a huge for this need and we think we did a good job of providing it.
