"Since launching our online guided shopping solution, PERQ's new client base has grown by over 70%, resulting in triple digit revenue growth year-over-year," said Andy Medley, CEO and co-founder at PERQ.

Brad has not only led sales teams in other fast-growth marketing technology companies, but also has specific experience in the multifamily industry. And, most importantly, Brad's core values and leadership style go hand in hand with the culture we have built at PERQ. We are excited to have him on the team."
PERQ's unique platform empowers websites to deliver on consumer expectations by revamping them to accommodate today's research-focused consumer who wants to do the bulk of their research online regardless of what they are shopping for.

The newly crafted shopping path results in more leads, greater engagement and increased sales.
"I'm excited to introduce PERQ's powerful AI-driven software to more customers in the multifamily, auto retailing and home furnishing sectors," said Bradley Long.
