Dallas, TX – (February 11th, 2011) – Today VanillaSoft announced the release of two new features that add social selling and corporate research into VanillaSoft’s award winning lead management platform. The target audiences of these features are inside sales teams that require research into a company, and individuals within that company, prior to a call being placed.

Ken Murray, President of VanillaSoft, stated, “Social selling and complex selling to multiple contacts within an organization has never been this easy and intuitive. What is most important for us in this release is that we stayed true to our core values of lead routing and ensuring that VanillaSoft provides a measurable productivity lift.”

Corporate View – Complex selling to multiple contacts within a single organization has never been this easy. Our new release offers a sales person an inside look into multiple contacts within an organization, who has touched those contacts, the results of the touches and complete history. Additionally, smart logical routing has been added to allow the smooth management of assigning sales people to the enterprise, to groups within the enterprise or to individuals’ contacts within the enterprise.

Social Selling with LinkedIn – The power to have vital profile data right from your lead management platform is essential for those organizations that require prospect research prior to the call being made. With VanillaSoft’s new LinkedIn onboard widget, profile data is only a mouse click away.
