§ 01 — Who it’s for

Your best prospects aren’t in any database yet.

Most prospecting tools list businesses that have been around long enough to get scraped. By then they have a payroll provider, a POS, a broker, a sign in the window. The licenses filed last Tuesday don’t have any of that yet.

BizPulse exists for the reps who want to be the first call, not the seventeenth: a saved search, an inbox alert, a list of warm names by Monday morning.

§ 02 — Why us

Three things nobody else does.

01
Daily, not quarterly.
The City of Chicago posts new license filings continuously. We ingest, normalize, and geocode every record overnight. Tuesday’s filings are searchable Wednesday morning — not in next quarter’s data drop.
02
Save it, forget it, get the list.
Set up a saved search once ("new restaurants, Logan Square, no liquor license"). We email you the matches every Monday. No dashboard to babysit, no Slack bot to ignore.
03
$99 a month. Cancel from settings.
No annual contract, no procurement gauntlet, no "talk to sales." If it doesn’t pay for itself in the first 30 days, you turn it off the same way you turned it on.
§ 03 — The product

Filters that match how reps actually qualify.

Filter by license type, neighborhood, filing date, business activity, and whether the address had a prior license at the same parcel. Export to CSV on Pro.

§ 04 — Pricing
Honest pricing.
Two tiers.

Free is a real product, not a teaser. Pro is what most paying users pick. See the full comparison on the pricing page.
