Preliminary Results: Survey on Sales 2.0 Tools

by Trish Bertuzzi on Fri, Aug 28, 2009


Last Friday we launched our survey on Technology's Impact on Sales & Marketing Effectiveness. So far, Executives from 50 companies have responded - thanks for that! 

I thought it would be interesting to share preliminary and very high level results in each of the 4 categories we targeted:

  • CRM
  • Sales and Prospect Data
  • Lead Tracking and Marketing Automation
  • Sales Enablement and Productivity

The data below reflects answers to this specific question:

How positive an impact has this tool had on your organization?

On a scale of 1 to 4 with 1 being "Minimal Impact" and 4 being "Significant Impact".
