SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 22, 2017 – ClearSlide, the Sales Engagement Platform leader, and Sendbloom, a leader in Prospecting Automation Software, today announced a partnership and integration to increase sales velocity and improve business results.

According to industry research, sales reps spend on average 440 hours per year searching for the right content to use during the sales process – and even when they find content, it’s often irrelevant, outdated, and difficult to use. The partnership between ClearSlide and Sendbloom resolves these challenges by seamlessly integrating ClearSlide’s robust content management and customer engagement analytics into Sendbloom’s easy-to-setup automated prospecting campaigns.

“We are excited to partner with Sendbloom and bring the power of the ClearSlide platform to our joint solutions,” said Michael Schultz, ClearSlide VP of marketing and business development. “Every sales team can immediately leverage the integration to improve prospecting connections and close rates – and marketing teams can scale the usage and ROI of sales content.”

“ClearSlide and Sendbloom are two of our most critical tools we use for driving sales productivity,” said Jeff Van Tatenhove, Relationship Science VP of client development. “With their products now integrated, we can drive even greater sales efficiencies and effectiveness in our sales process.”

By integrating ClearSlide APIs into Sendbloom’s Prospecting Automation software, users are now able to leverage the latest marketing-approved content and compelling rich media in their digital outreach, dramatically improving prospect and buyer engagement. ClearSlide’s real-time notifications and analytics allow sales reps to more effectively connect with and focus on the most engaged buyers – helping accelerate sales cycles. In addition, marketing teams can gain direct customer insight into what content is working – and what’s not – so they can quickly tune campaigns.

“We’re delighted to join ClearSlide’s valuable partner program,” said Ross Epstein, Sendbloom CEO and co-founder. “Combining ClearSlide’s Sales Engagement Platform with Sendbloom helps SDRs and inside sales easily add rich digital content within their Sendbloom touches. Our partnership with ClearSlide provides an end-to-end sales funnel optimization solution combining our respective strengths.”

ClearSlide’s partner program offers access to unique ClearSlide activity and engagement data. Using ClearSlide’s open APIs, developers can automatically upload content, insert trackable content links, and leverage detailed customer engagement data within sales enablement applications and workflows.
