SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 5, 2016 – ClearSlide, the Sales Engagement Platform leader, announced today that the ClearSlide has been named 2016 Enterprise Software Product of the Year in the prestigious Best in Biz Awards. This recognition follows ClearSlide’s Best in Biz Gold Award for ClearSlide Mail earlier in the year.

ClearSlide was recognized for its ION Release, which is the most significant company update since the company’s founding over seven years ago. It provides a complete next-generation sales system for managing opportunities, teams, and individual reps based on real-time customer engagement data. It includes new Engagement Quadrant dashboards to quickly identify deals at risk, coach opportunities across sales stages, and offers actionable “next-step” insights to improve forecasting and business results.

ClearSlide ION also offers Reps a new “For You” content experience with recommended sales and marketing content tailored for every customer interaction – from prospect to close. ION’s re-imagined “My ClearSlide” experience puts content, communications, and analytics at sales teams’ fingertips in a more personalized and intuitive way, making it easy to access all aspects of this powerful new platform.

“Given the impressive competition, we are honored that ClearSlide was named as the Enterprise Software product of the year,” said Dustin Grosse, CEO, ClearSlide. “Our entire team has worked tirelessly to innovate and deliver an integrated sales engagement platform used by thousands of companies around the world. The Best in Biz Awards is further evidence of our market leading position.”

The Best in Biz Awards are the only independent business awards program judged by members of the press and industry analysts. The sixth annual Best in Biz Awards in North America garnered hundreds of entries from public and private companies of all sizes, industries and geographic regions. Winners of Best in Biz Awards 2016 were determined based on scoring from an independent panel of 50 judges from widely known newspapers, business, consumer and technology publications, TV outlets, and analyst firms.

“If companies are going to stand out from the crowd and remain competitive in future years, innovation is key. The market is tough and there is no guarantee that today’s dominant players will remain so — unless time and effort are concentrated on research and development,” said Charlie Osborne, ZDNet, one of Best in Biz Awards’ judges this year. “This year’s entries in Best in Biz Awards highlighted not only innovative business practices but the emergence of next-generation technologies which will keep companies current and relevant.”
