“Can’t stress enough how important Haystack is for this critical data. These groups are one-person efforts. When they put together data and make a claim that this is what the cost is, this is what you need to win… People often don’t agree with this and then start to really drill into you for evidence. When you can substantiate it with Haystack data and government data… People will then believe you and you don’t lose credibility.”

“I love using Haystack Gold. It helps us justify our pricing. I work in the Emergency Buy Department and sometimes the pricing isn’t as good as we would like it to be. It helps with my documentation, too.”
