Highspot Transforms Sales Portals and Playbooks


SEATTLE --(Business Wire)--

Highspot, the intelligent content platform that optimizes how marketing and sales teams leverage content to engage customers and drive revenue, today announced updates to its service. Focused on transforming sales portals and playbooks, Highspot now integrates with Salesforce.com, Box (News - Alert) and Dropbox, delivers a significantly enhanced experience on tablets and mobile phones, and provides smart feeds for real-time customer and competitive intelligence.

Customers can now rely on Highspot to ensure important business content, including product marketing materials, market intelligence data and sales playbooks, is updated dynamically, analyzed for performance, and ranked by importance, all with a customized view for each team or individual.

"In speaking with organizations of all types about their information challenges, we've learned that one of the greatest needs in business today is having intellgent, powerful access to sales materials," said Robert Wahbe, CEO and founder of Highspot. "Our customers have asked for deeper integration with services important to their sales teams like Box and Salesforce.com (News - Alert) and our latest release delivers on that and more."
