HT-NewsThe Image of Sales Gets a "Prophetable" (and Long Overdue) Facelift
Prophet CRM Software with Microsoft Outlook to Change the Way People Close Sales
/Software News Articles/ - SAN JOSE, CA, April 02, 2008 - Landing a job, project or client is a high point for any sales professional worth his or her portfolio, but without the proper tools, the odds of wooing a customer from a competitor are exasperatingly low.
In fact, the accepted understanding among sales personnel is that it takes at least 10 (some say around 20) "no" responses to get to one "yes"... and up until now, that figure (and the accompanying rejection that goes with it) has simply been standard.
One progressive company aims to change all that.
Avidian Technologies, a Seattle-based corporation founded in 2002, offers Prophet CRM (customer relationship management) software packages to small and medium sized businesses that want to close more sales, effectively upping the chances of hearing "yea" instead of "nay." Prophet works hand-in-hand with Microsoft Outlook, an email program familiar to the majority of PC users, turning Outlook it a powerful sales device.
James Wong, CEO and co-founder of Avidian Technologies, sees customer expectations changing in today"s fast-paced global society. "Closing a sale isn"t as easy as it used to be," he asserts. "Clients expect to be "wowed" because there are so many companies vying for their business. Prophet helps committed sales persons position themselves to win clients" respect and dollars by assisting them with sales-related scheduling, reporting, quoting and organization."
Prophet can be used with Outlook 2007, 2003, XP, and 2000 as well as Windows Mobile and PALM platforms. This exclusive CRM software is available only through Avidian Technologies or authorized Prophet distributors. Prices start at around $149.95 for the basic package.
