Salesnet Unveils Communications Functionality That Integrates With Microsoft Word
Salesnet's powerful Communications Manager executes mass communications to fill sales pipeline and increase revenues for clients
(EMAILWIRE.COM, October 18, 2001 ) Boston, MA - Salesnet, the award-winning Web-based provider of Sales Process Management (SPM) and automation, announced today the availability of its comprehensive Communications Manager functionality. Salesnet's Communications Manager is the only ASP sales automation functionality that seamlessly integrates with Microsoft Word.
The upgrade is automatically available to all Salesnet users on the application service provider (ASP) platform, www.salesnet.com. Most notable of the list of enhancements is the ability of users to create templates with Microsoft Word using Salesnet Account and Company fields for printing customized letters, envelopes, and mailing labels; and for merging and sending customized emails (with attachments as needed). The Communication Manager includes a free plug-in that creates the connection between Salesnet and Microsoft Word.
"Providing our users with the ability to execute mass communications opens a whole new world of growth for our application," noted Richard Perkett, chief technology officer of Salesnet. "Using this technology provides the easy management and distribution of business communications through one central Web-based application. The majority of our customers depend on Microsoft Word to perform daily business tasks. It was a natural fit to build a bridge between the applications. This latest update, and others that will follow shortly, underscores Salesnet's commitment to drive the best eSFA solution for enterprise clients."
Other enhancements available with Salesnet's Communications Manager include the ability to:
Create and send mass emails (with attachments as needed) that don't require any merge fields.
Build distribution lists of Contacts so users don't have to manually enter Contact information each time they need it, which is especially helpful if they're communicating with a large number of Contacts.
Keep track of each communication event through the Event History so users can always view exactly what they sent to whom and when.
Conduct real-time editing of files stored in Salesnet's Document Library (no longer requiring additional file uploads as changes are made).
"Salesnet continues to revolutionize sales automation," explained Mike Doyle, chairman and CEO of Salesnet. "The addition of the Communications Manager will enable our clients to run customized mail merges on demand a capability that enables users to touch prospects routinely and automatically, which will ultimately impact their sales pipeline and revenues. Our ability to combine the best in sales management and sales process methodology with a comprehensive communications module reinforces Salesnet as the leading eSFA solution. We've leapfrogged past classic SFA applications, and we will succeed as the only company that understands and reacts to the real business pains of global sales teams."
In conjunction with the Communication Manager functionality, Salesnet announced the release of Integration Links (I-Links), a new breed of Company Defined Fields (CDFs). The new integration fields enable Salesnet users to create intelligent hyperlinks to Web or intranet pages that pass along preselected Account, Contact, or Deal data (such as Account Name, City, and State) to the destination Web site. For example, Salesnet users can create I-Links to integrate critical sales data into their company's business programs, such as workforce management applications, online intelligence offerings, customer service solutions, and campaign management software.
"Salesnet's application has always been designed and influenced by the needs of our customers," added Doyle. "And, by continuing to offer enhancements that meet real sales needs, we elevate our solution above typical SFA client/server and ASP packages."
