InsideView Announces Sales 2.0 Executive Series

SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - March 4, 2009) - InsideView today announced the launch of a Sales 2.0 Executive Series featuring the industry's most prominent pundits and analysts as participants. Sales 2.0, a fast-growing category of productivity-enhancing solutions, brings together Web 2.0-based tools and processes that transform sales from an art to a science. Sales 2.0 applications maximize sales productivity and accelerate sales cycles -- ultimately driving higher volume sales, higher value sales and higher velocity sales.

InsideView's Sales 2.0 Executive Series is designed to explore the latest productivity-enhancing sales strategies in an economic climate where the number of legitimate sales opportunities appears to be shrinking. The series, which will include Webinars as well as blog and Twitter engagement, will reveal tangible methods for achieving significant efficiencies in sales organizations by empowering them with the information and the tools they need to be successful.

The series kicks off on March 19 and the initial line-up includes the following participants:

--  Paul Greenberg, Best-Selling Author and CRM Industry Guru
    "Survival of the Fittest (or at Least the BEST Informed):  Real
    Customer Insights & Strategies in the Year of the Economic YoYo" (March
    19, 2009)
    
--  Alex Jeffries, Senior Research Associate with Aberdeen's Customer
    Management Technologies Group
    "Value Selling with Sales Intelligence: The Key to Sales Survival in a
    Downturn" (April 7, 2009)
    
--  Anneke Seley, Author of Sales 2.0: "Improve Business Results Using
    Innovative Sales Practices and Technology" (April 21, 2009)
    

"Now more than ever, companies must educate themselves on the best practices for sales success. It isn't enough for companies to simply increase the quantity of leads in the sales pipeline; special attention must be paid to lead quality, as well as the tools sales representatives use to organize and manage prospect, account and opportunity information," said Alex Jeffries of Aberdeen's Customer Management Technologies Group. "InsideView's Sales 2.0 Webinar Series will serve as a key source of thought leadership for end-user organizations examining ways to achieve sales success in a tough economy."

"Based on the explosive interest around Sales 2.0, we are excited to be launching the new InsideView series where salespeople will have the opportunity to interact with some of the most progressive thinkers in the industry," said Rand Schulman, chief marketing officer of InsideView. "The series is akin to an executive MBA program for sales and marketing professionals and is sure to be transformational to their sales productivity and velocity."
