InsideView Customers Dominate Sales and Marketing 2.0 Awards

Sales Intelligence Stalwart Helps Win Four of Six Overall Categories


SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - November 11, 2010) - InsideView, the leader in sales intelligence, today congratulates its customers Adobe Omniture Business Unit, Brainshark, Inc., BigMachines, Inc. and Unisfair in winning big at the 2010 Sales and Marketing 2.0 Awards, which honor excellence in leveraging technologies for improved sales and marketing results.

InsideView customers dominated at this year's awards, taking four of six categories:

  • Best Use of Social Media for Sales or Marketing: Adobe Omniture Business Unit
  • Best Sales Enablement Program: BigMachines, Inc.
  • Best Sales 2.0 Management: Brainshark, Inc.
  • Best Sales Lead Management Program: Unisfair

The use of InsideView's award-winning native CRM application empowers companies like these to leverage free business and social intelligence for significant gains in sales productivity and revenue. For example, earlier this year customer Brainshark also announced it had saved the equivalent of one sales rep a year in productivity by using InsideView across its sales team. Similarly, the Adobe Omniture Business Unit realized a 50 percent decrease in time spent by sales reps in researching prospects and customers, a tripling of call-to-opportunity ratio, and a 20 percent increase in opportunities generated -- all by using InsideView directly within their existing CRM platforms.

"We are extremely proud of the showing our customers had at this year's awards," said Umberto Milletti, CEO of InsideView. "These companies are leading the way in deploying and reaping the measurable results from the new and proven next-generation of sales and marketing technologies."
