A social revolution is under way, creating a massive shift in how businesses collaborate, communicate and share information, said Ron Huddleston, senior vice president, ISV Alliances, salesforce.com. Apps like InsiderConnect leverage the social and real-time capabilities customers expect from the salesforce.com ecosystem.
InsiderConnect is the latest product feature of the ProspX collaboration platform and is the first electronic marketing solution that delivers targeted insurance industry, line-of-business and carrier-specific news and updates to sales professionals, account managers, marketers and customer service representatives who are actively working on related new and renewal business opportunities. With ProspX for Salesforce, customers can automatically begin receiving this critical intelligence via a custom e-newsletter based on pipeline data already available in the Salesforce Sales Cloud. The information received can then be easily shared with prospects and clients � a vital tool to help build credibility and strengthen client relationships.
The AppExchange marketplace gives users access to new applications that bring the benefits of the salesforce.com ecosystem to an entire business, letting them manage and share all of their company information on-demand.
