PRO Research

We believe in many cases “pain causes change”! If you have ever been part of a service, product or technology release that did not gain the type of acceptance you anticipated looking back we would bet that it was more of a “vitamin” than a “pain killer”. Everybody knows they should take vitamins but face it, most of us don’t, or at least not every day. But when something is causing pain, we take action!   That is the foundation of PRO Research. WAV Group builds and executes custom process research to understand what is working and what isn’t to assist organizations in planning. Information gained from process research can improve software products, association services, member and consumer satisfaction. It can also be used as a valuable part of the overall strategic planning process. Contact us to find out how this research is designed, conducted and can help your organization.

Others flatly refuse to provide access to members of other associations or MLSs they deem competitive. In Louisiana, for example, there are three markets equidistant from one another. Two of the three have agreed to provide reciprocal access, yet refuse reciprocal access to the third..
