BOSTON, MA and CUPERTINO, CA--(Marketwire - Nov 3, 2011) - TimeTrade® (www.timetrade.com), the world leader in customer self-service scheduling for business, today announced the availability of TimeTrade Mobile™ in the Apple iTunes App store. This free full-featured appointment scheduling iPhone application for mobile business professionals connects calendars and CRM systems (like Salesforce.com) to the TimeTrade Customer Experience Cloud -- to automatically offer, manage, and confirm sales and service meetings through e-mail, websites, and social media like LinkedIn and Facebook.
Booking meetings with prospects and customers is an essential daily activity for salespeople, service representatives, and others who are often out of the office or traveling. TimeTrade's award-winning appointment scheduling applications eliminate the deal-killing back-and-forth process that is all too familiar to people who use Microsoft Outlook, Google Calendar or iCal to try to schedule a mutually convenient day and time for an appointment. TimeTrade lets company representatives offer prospects and customers a selection of available time slots, then lets prospects instantly choose, book, and confirm an appointment slot that works for them. Microsoft Outlook, Google, and Salesforce.com calendars connected to the TimeTrade Customer Experience Cloud are dynamically monitored and personal availability instantly updated to reflect calendar changes. Now, TimeTrade Mobile lets users propose new meetings from their smartphone or mobile device, wherever they are, even when they're on the move -- and then use a unique follow-up list feature to contact those that have not yet responded to outbound meeting requests.
"TimeTrade Mobile makes salespeople available for customer meetings and appointments 24 hours a day in a very controlled and managed fashion, no matter where they are," said Gary Ambrosino, president of TimeTrade. "Through TimeTrade, businesses can leverage their websites, e-mail campaigns, and social media marketing programs into a dynamic cloud-powered channel for booking sales meetings and skipping the calling, chasing and waiting of conventional appointment setting that destroys sales productivity."
A 2007 Aberdeen Research Benchmark Report entitled "Mobile Sales Force Effectiveness" revealed that "companies that implement mobile sales force automation solutions are 1.5 times more likely to see an improvement in sales force productivity versus those that do not." Additionally, Aberdeen's analysis showed that Ninety-five (95) percent of Best-in-Class companies report an increase in revenue, as a result of implementing a mobile sales force automation solution.
TimeTrade Mobile is expressly designed to meet strong demand from sales organizations that increasingly seek to use mobile devices and applications to improve productivity and accessibility, expedite decisions, and furnish field reps with real-time information.
