April 1, 2010

If you’re an expansion stage software company interested in upgrading your lead generation and qualification capabilities, check out InsideView. InsideView aggregates news and social media data on companies and their executives to help sales teams better identify opportunities and develop relationships with them. Every day, SalesView (the company’s flagship product), crawls over 20,000 web sites, directories, and social networks for information that could be useful to sales (such as company news, revenues, number of employees, relationships between executives, etc.). The tool is fully integrated with Salesforce.com, SugarCRM, and other third-party CRM vendors, and can be used to manually or automatically update certain fields within accounts.

InsideView has also been getting some significant traction lately, raising $11.5 million in Series B venture funding and growing its customer base to over 2,000 companies and 26,000 sales professionals. The company plans to use the expansion capital to fund more aggressive customer acquisition and for ongoing product development.

SalesView has a free version to draw in customers, and offers a pro version with more advanced features for only $99/month/seat. Check out their demo here.
