Hi Julie,
That is a great thought - the industry genre. On anscers we are currently working on new screens for the My Account section that will ask company demographic questions i.e. industry, sales region, amount of accounts etc.
We are hoping to use the answers to these questions to build future enhancements similar to what you mention.
The more we know about the companies using anscers - the better we can hook you together so you can increase the amount of information gathered.

Dina,
Perhaps as you ask the demographic questions, one of the options could be whether they want to participate in RFI's, if they chose no then they wouldn't be able to request info. Unfortunately more & more in the credit community both inside and outside CMA find reasons not to share info. The primary ones seem to be:
1. I'm too busy
2. The attorney said I shouldn't (fear)
3. Sales/management don't want competition (fear)
4. I pay to get info, why should I give it to you free (I forgot what it feels like)
As long as these attitudes are allowed to prevail, you will have some takers and more people become unwilling to share info. I started compiling a list of companies that won't share info and when they request info from me I write "I'm sorry we are not willing to share information with companies who will not reciprocate"
DMarc - We use one even better we state that all of our accounts are cleared on our on line credit group and that if they would like to audit the monthly meeting to call me and I will get them invited. CMA is real good at allowing one visit before purchasing a membership. If they are a member of another NACM affiliate than it is a minimal cost to get on the web.
Dina Amadril - another thought is in My Account it ould be nice to pull a report by ABC on all of the RFI's you have responded to as well as pull a report just for your RFI's that you have requested. It is very cumbersome the way that it is right not.
