March 18, 2008

SalesView Free, Pro and Team are offered as a mash-up with CRM applications to automate prospecting, accelerate sales cycles and close more deals

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF. —March 18, 2008—InsideView today announced the introduction of SalesView, a unique on-demand Business Search and Intelligence application, designed to bring insight gained from subscription-based and user-generated sources to the enterprise.  As one of the first true examples of a Socialprise application, SalesView presents relevant customer data, discovered and distilled through web harvesting, specialized research providers and social networks, within the familiar context of a customer relationship management (CRM) application.

InsideView is offering a free version of the application to enable any salesperson to tap into SalesView’s intelligence to uncover fresh opportunities and close more business.  Pro and Team versions of the product come loaded with deeper feature sets designed for power and enterprise users.  InsideView is working with a number of partners to deliver SalesView to customers worldwide, including Landslide Technologies, Microsoft, Salesforce.com and SugarCRM.

“We are experiencing an inevitable convergence of social media, user generated content and enterprise applications. SalesView is born of this trend, and delivers on its promise with a smart, fresh and complete approach to business search and intelligence,” said Rand Schulman, chief marketing officer of InsideView.  “By offering SalesView in a freemium model, we are enabling all sales and marketing organizations to take advantage of our unique offering.”

“We’re excited to bring SalesView to our customers as it adds immediate value and impact to their sales and marketing efforts,” said Razi Imam, CEO of Landslide Technologies, a pioneer in Sales Workstyle Management. “The mash-up between our two products will help our users gain richer insight into every contact and potential lead.  The added layer of intelligence SalesView provides through scanning social networks and media provides our users with multiple capabilities that translate into quicker, more efficient deal-making.”

SalesView is built on InsideView’s pioneering Business Search and Intelligence platform, and employs a unique meta-aggregation technology that delivers critical intelligence on companies, decision-makers, personal and professional connections to drive customer engagements.  A significant quality that sets SalesView apart from other intelligence solutions is the extraordinary relevance and specificity of results: SalesView discovers relevant events and alerts sales people and organizations to help them drive their target-account strategies .  Designed with the convergence of sales and marketing processes in mind, SalesView institutionalizes a collaborative and repeatable workflow to drive sales productivity—automating prospecting, accelerating sales cycles and ultimately resulting in more closed deals.

“InsideView’s SalesView is a flexible and powerful tool that helps executives to identify people ready to do deals far more efficiently,” said John Blossom, president and senior analyst for Shore Communications Inc. “Socialprise tools such as SalesView combine the best of enterprise-class information and the best of social networking and sales force automation tools to deliver timely insights when and where they’re needed most. SalesView highlights the behaviors of the people and organizations relating to sales readiness with much greater precision and enables executives to map them to the people who are ready to listen to them.”

SalesView: Free, Pro & Team
Today, SalesView is available as a CRM mash-up (SalesView CRM) for Salesforce.com and SugarCRM users and is offered in three flavors:

SalesView Free is an entry-level business search and intelligence solution that arms the sales person with light account research and qualification capabilities.  SalesView Free also offers limited watch lists and access to a subset of our standard agents to help identify relevant events around target accounts or prospects.
