Questions buyers ask before using Merqiva.
What is a Merqiva sales opportunity?
A prioritized account with defined company and product fit, a relevant signal, evidence, decision-maker context, timing and a recommended next action.
How is an opportunity different from a lead?
A lead tells you who exists. An opportunity adds context for why the account may be worth sales attention and what to investigate or do next.
Where does Merqiva get its data?
Merqiva primarily uses public business information and source-based research. Sources vary by market and opportunity. Merqiva is not positioning itself as the underlying source of global AIS or vessel data.
What does VERIFIED FACT mean?
A material claim tied to an identified source where available. Inferences are labeled separately, and unknowns are not presented as facts.
How is the Opportunity Score used?
It is a prioritization aid based on agreed qualification criteria, including fit, signal strength, recency and evidence quality. It is not a probability of purchase or revenue forecast.
Does Merqiva guarantee sales?
No. The quality/replacement promise applies to agreed opportunity qualification criteria, not replies, meetings, contracts or revenue.
Can Merqiva research my specific marine equipment?
Yes, where the product, target market and buyer profile can be defined clearly enough to assess relevance. The current validation focus is especially strong for NAVCOM/GMDSS, marine electronics, safety/compliance equipment and offshore equipment or technical services.
Which GCC markets does Merqiva cover?
The current focus covers the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain, with UAE and Saudi Arabia prioritized for commercial validation.
How often are opportunities delivered?
The current founding-customer offer is 30 researched opportunities per month with weekly delivery.
Can I request a sample before subscribing?
Yes. The current validation offer is 3 product-specific verified opportunities so you can assess relevance, evidence quality and sales usefulness before a paid engagement.
How is Merqiva different from a lead database?
Lead databases are optimized for contact volume. Merqiva is designed around qualification: product fit, fleet context, current signals, decision-maker relevance, evidence and a next sales action.
