Innotas Hits Sales Sweet Spot With InsideView

Company Improves Reach to Target SMB Market, Efficiently Accelerates Top-Line Sales Growth by 150%


SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - October 15, 2009) - InsideView today announced that Innotas, the only on-demand IT governance solution on the market, has successfully deployed SalesView, InsideView's award-winning sales intelligence solution. In the year since Innotas began utilizing SalesView, the company has achieved more than 150% growth in year-over-year revenue, as well as tremendous increases in call volume and customer transactions.

SalesView intelligently discovers sales opportunities across both traditional editorial sources and social media. It then delivers this accurate, relevant and timely business insight directly to sales reps within their CRMs and mobile devices. Innotas based its decision to deploy SalesView on the easy integration with its existing Salesforce CRM, as well as SalesView's critical ability to help Innotas better reach its target SMB market. SalesView helped Innotas create a systematic way to manage sales territories more effectively and deliver improved information and visibility into opportunities. The application also simplified the prospecting process and improved cross-selling with Innotas' existing customers.

"Before deploying SalesView, we were experiencing the all-too-common problems that sales teams face," said Kevin Kern, Vice President of Worldwide Sales at Innotas. "Inaccurate and incomplete data, conflicting customer list information, and insufficient and redundant prospecting activity meant there was no single source of 'truth' in our data. SalesView has corrected these issues and contributed greatly to our tremendous revenue, transaction and pipeline growth over the past year."

In addition to the company's revenue increasing more than 150%, Innotas has seen a 200% increase in call volume, 240% increase in transactions and nearly 1,000% increase in customers contacted. SalesView's ability to sharply increase the data quality being used by the Innotas sales team has led to higher productivity and accelerated sales cycles. "Simply put, better data means warmer sales calls -- and that's huge," added Kern.

"We're proud of what Innotas has been able to achieve in its target market with SalesView," said Rand Schulman, Chief Marketing Officer at InsideView. "Just look at what's possible when your sales team has the freshest and most relevant intelligence at its fingertips. We're excited for their continued growth, and the role SalesView has played within their measurable results."
