PipelineDeals Introduces Connect to Revolutionize Sales Productivity and Performance

SEATTLE, WA--(Marketwired - Dec 2, 2015) - PipelineDeals, the sales and account management platform for SMBs, today unveils Connect, the first solution of its kind to completely integrate a user's inbox with PipelineDeals' sales and account management platform. With complete email integration, Connect simplifies the sales workflow, providing the one-stop-shop for everything a salesperson needs to maximize productivity and deepen customer relationships.

Email is one of the most important tools in a salesperson's arsenal. More than a quarter of a salesperson's workweek is spent checking, responding to, and searching through messages (McKinsey Global Institute). Connect combines the most comprehensive, cloud-based sales and account management platform from PipelineDeals with email. This provides the complete package SMBs need to close more deals, faster, while enhancing productivity by eliminating the need to toggle between apps.

Unlike any other sales and CRM solutions, Connect fully integrates any IMAP service with all sales and account management functionality of PipelineDeals' platform. This includes popular services such as Gmail™ webmail services, Google Apps™ service, Microsoft® Office 365™ and Outlook®. The result is a streamlined sales workflow with better engagement with leads and customers and more efficient collaboration amongst sales teams.

Users can check and respond to emails while leveraging all of the account management capabilities of PipelineDeals' platform all within a single, easy-to-use interface. With one touch, all past email correspondence is available for review and can be added to a new or existing contact instantaneously. Connect enables users to view and set assignments, tasks, deal status and stage, and the next best action to take within the inbox. Additionally, users can filter messages, assuring only relevant messages appear in the interface.

"CRM and email are the most powerful and used tools in any company's technology stack," said JP Werlin, CEO and founder of PipelineDeals. "PipelineDeals has married email and CRM unlike anything seen before, increasing productivity and performance by guaranteeing sales staff always have the right message for the right contact at the right time. The ability to see your most important deal data and tasks in your email is a testament to our dedication to helping SMBs achieve their goals by providing a complete sales platform that fits how SMBs actually work."

Connect is part of PipelineDeals' Accelerator package. Further information is available at: https://www.pipelinedeals.com/features/connect.
