"Although I have a fairly strong fundraising background, I had never bought a list previously, and certainly not from a broker I found on the internet. I just wanted to let you know that I was pleased and impressed by the advice that Grant gave us. He guided me to the lists that seemed most appropriate and always answered my questions promptly and courteously."
