Solihull, UK - September 18th, 2008 - sales-i, (www.sales-i.com) the real-time sales acceleration service for front line sales people today announced that Glasgow-based Claire Clifford Office Products has selected sales-i and secured its first new order a few hours after initial training

Claire Clifford Office Products specialises in providing the TOTAL solution in office supplies management. The company recently signed up to sales-i as its sales intelligence system and following some simple training they got straight down to work checking their data for product leakage to highlight any downturn in office supplies sales.

Mark Docherty, Sales Manager at Claire Clifford, explains, “We finished the short product training session with sales-i in the morning. That afternoon we used the product-on-product comparison feature and immediately identified one of our customers who had bought flip pads and pens in 2007, but had not ordered any in 2008. Armed with the information, we called the customer and came off the phone with an order for £380. It really was as immediate and simple as that.” Mark continues, “This level of accurate visibility into customer buying behaviour allows us to spot upsell and cross sell opportunities with ease and means we can be highly targeted in our sales calls.”

Paul Black is sales-i’s co-founder and adds, “This is a real testament to the simplicity and immediacy of sales-i. It has been developed by sales people for sales people and can deliver immediate results with minimal training. We are delighted that Claire Clifford has secured its first order in such a short timeframe. ”
