Appointment Setting Software Just Keeps Getting Better. Plano, TX - (April 18th, 2012) - VanillaSoft, in its continuing quest to remain at the forefront of Appointment Setting Software, has released a new set of features and functionality for their already robust platform.

The new features further enhance VanillaSoft's offering to companies engaged in setting appointments for their own in-house sales team, outside sales team or for professional service bureaus setting appointments for their clients. Ken Murray, President of VanillaSoft, stated, "The feedback we receive from satisfied customers is amazing and remains paramount in continuing to deploy feature sets that wow. " Blog » Beyond Basic VoIP – New Features That Sizzle.

Several months back I wrote a post titled, “VoIP – Choosing the Right Provider for Your Inside Sales Team.” The post not only turned out to be popular, but actually generated quite a bit of traffic for one of the companies I referred to. The popularity of the post, the feedback I received from it, and what I learned while I was researching and writing it got me thinking more about VoIP, new features and how they can play more deeply into a company’s selling strategy.

We sell Lead Management/ CRM software focused on appointment setting, prospecting and selling by phone. As an added feature, we dial over most PBXs and VoIP providers in the world today. As you might imagine, our team is often asked who we recommend, why we recommend them, and how much they cost. I contend that many businesses seeking a VoIP provider are looking at it a bit upside down. If you can save $10 per user per month, it will never amount to more than the $10 you saved.

Blog » Lead Generation and Appointment Setting – Know When to Pull the Trigger and Outsource. I was chatting with my good friend Dan McDade over at PointClear about how some businesses select not to outsource their sales lead generation and prospect development even when they are struggling with it internally and missing their sales goals.

It got me really thinking about how I see the value proposition of when to outsource and when to go at it alone. If I may be so bold as to paraphrase a line from Master Card, here is what I have to say about outsourcing in general: “Building your own internal campaigns for lead gen and doing a decent job without losing focus on your core business- fair enough. Pulling the trigger and letting the big dogs run while you focus on your core competencies and winning the day on both sides of the ball- priceless.” Blog » CRM-Lead Management Software:The Death of Lost Productivity for Outbound Selling. Have you ever stood behind your outbound sales people and really paid attention after they complete a sales call? It can be quite the learning experience. Whether they are the high-paid closers or the entry level prospectors, many, if not most, will kill quite a bit of time before saddling up and making the next call.

As a sales manager or business owner, this loss of productivity can be the difference between OK performance or harnessing a high-powered sales team. In the early days of CRM we thought we had found the holy grail of new productivity. As it turns out, traditional CRM is just another layer of lost productivity allowing a sales person to hunt, peck, think and delay making the next sales call.
