Press Release

 

CustomerSat Announces the Launch of SalesConnect™

Automated Solution Accelerates the Sales Cycle and Drives Sales Effectiveness

Mountain View, CA - July 25, 2001 - CustomerSat Inc., the leader in measuring and managing the customer experience online, announces the launch of SalesConnect as the latest component in its eCEM™ (Enterprise Customer Experience Management) system. This solution is designed to help sales and marketing departments maximize the revenue-generating potential of all leads and prospects.

SalesConnect extends the power of CustomerSat’s online customer feedback solution to connect with leads and “suspects” at the beginning of the sales cycle, and then to connect with customers and lost customers at the close of the cycle. Real-time feedback obtained at each point is immediately available to:

Quickly identify and respond to potential customers within the pipeline

Discover strategies and messages that resonate with prospects

Focus the sales process

"CustomerSat solutions allows our clients to use customer feedback strategically to improve products, services, and process to positively impact the bottom line,” explains John Chisholm, CEO, CustomerSat. “SalesConnect delivers this power to sales management by delivering critical insights from leads and prospects, customers and lost customers, that focus and maximize a company’s sales efforts.”

SalesConnect offers two complementary solutions: SalesConnect-ProspectID and SalesConnect-Win/Loss

SalesConnect-ProspectID: Used to automate the lead qualification process, SalesConnect-ProspectID offers a fast, cost-effective alternative to traditional tele-marketing. Once deployed, this solution delivers a brief online survey via email to the right leads within a company’s database. This completely customized feedback solution uncovers each leads’ purchasing intentions, time to purchase, mission-critical priorities, and more. With CustomerSat’s Real-time alerts, sales team members are instantly notified when prospects are uncovered. Prospect feedback is available for comprehensive analysis through password protected online reports. Feedback can also be integrated into the original database record for a 360° view of the contact information.

Feedback provided is available to:

  • Automatically move leads from "suspect" to prospect, hot prospect, or removal status
  • Instantly alert Sales Directors of HOT prospects for immediate action
  • Identify new sales opportunities
  • Sharpen sales and marketing messages

SalesConnect-Win/Loss: A critical part of successful selling is learning why and how a sale was won or lost. SalesConnect-Win/Loss performs the win/loss analysis online. By automatically connecting with new customers immediately at the sale is won, key insights are collected: What factors led to the close? How did they view the competition? Will they serve as a reference? SalesConnect-Win/Loss helps pinpoint what went right, allowing companies to reinforce the winning strategies.

A different connection is made with lost sales to reveal the reasons why the sale was unsuccessful. Questions help identify the competitive differentiators that worked against the sale, as well as uncovering opportunities for future business.

Insights from SalesConnect-Win/Loss focus sales strategies and improve future sales successes.

SalesConnect is available immediately, and is a fully-hosted solution
