Solihull, UK – March 25th, 2008 - sales-i, (www.sales-i.com) the real-time sales acceleration service for front line sales people today announced that is has selected EGOstream as its sales recruitment and development partner to expand its sales force to meet growing demand for its sales intelligence service.

EGOstream (www.egostream.com) specialises in building and developing world-class sales organisations and provides a range of sales services that accelerate performance including Sales Force Due Diligence, Talent Acquisition and Results Gearing. Working with some of the IT industry’s household names including Adobe, Cisco Systems, SSA Global (now Infor) and IONA Technologies, EGOstream has transformed the sales performance and focus of these world class organisations. Now, taking that experience, success and footprint established with large businesses, EGOstream has evolved its service to deliver that same ‘contemporary people service’ to small to medium sized businesses

Paul Stephenson, EGOstream’s founder and managing director explains, “An important shift has taken place in the way organisations are buying software and in the way that software vendors want to supply it. This shift from on-premise transactional software sales to a software-as-a-service model is transforming sales organisations and the people who work in them.” Paul continues, “Service-based selling is all about purpose and passion and being able to sell conceptually and we specialise in attracting and developing sales people who can adapt to this exciting new sales discipline. This is a very natural marriage with sales-i whose service-based selling proposition demands sales people who have the ambition and passion to engage with customers and evolve to this new service led world.”

Since its launch mid last year, the sales-i sales intelligence service has been selected by dozens of small to medium sized businesses in the office products and building supplies industries. The technology, its on-demand delivery model and its customer buying-behaviour alert system have had enormous appeal to companies that hitherto, without the benefit of the Software-as-a-Service model, could not have afforded such sophisticated sales intelligence technology.

Paul Black is co-founder of sales-i and comments, “To realise the ambitions of our business and achieve our demanding sales growth, we need to boost our team with committed, passionate sales professionals who understand conceptual and service-led selling. I am confident that this partnership with Egostream will attract and develop those key people and enable us to achieve our mission of becoming the most innovative and trusted provider of SaaS-deployed sales intelligence solutions worldwide.”
