SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - August 4, 2010) - InsideView, Inc. today announced several new social selling features designed to help increase marketing and sales productivity. InsideView aggregates traditional business information and social media insights, or "social intelligence," to help sales and marketing professionals better listen, connect and engage with their customers.
InsideView's social selling features include:
- Social Profiles: View rich social profile information alongside contact details to gain unique insights into customers and prospects
- Social Search: Search for contacts on specific social networks to improve prospect targeting
- Social Connections: Tap into existing social networks to leverage relationships into a prospect or customer via the Facebook and LinkedIn APIs
- Social Mentions: Access a filtered stream of social media mentions to understand what is being said about customers and prospects
The one-stop nature of this social intelligence for sales productivity means sales professionals can get the most timely, relevant and comprehensive view of any contact at any time, directly within their existing CRM application.
"InsideView has pioneered the use of social media for B2B sales since 2005. Since then the widespread adoption of social media has fundamentally changed buying behavior and a new breed of socially-enabled customer has emerged -- Customer 2.0," said Umberto Milletti, CEO of InsideView. "Our new social selling capabilities allow sales people to leverage Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and other social media to engage Customer 2.0 in a meaningful and productive way."
