- Best Added Value Service Award goes to sales-i’s Sales Intelligence Service -

Solihull, UK - November 25th, 2008 - sales-i, (www.sales-i.com) the real-time sales intelligence service for front line sales people today announced that it has been awarded the coveted ICT Excellence award at the ICT Conference 2008 which took place at the National Motorcycle Museum in Solihull last Thursday.

The ICT Conference, now in its fifth year, is one of the region’s most important ICT events and this year delegates were given insight into what SMEs need to be aware of, how they can innovate their business and the tools and techniques they can take away to implement within their own businesses.

sales-i was honoured at the event for its sales support service that helps companies to improve their sales, planning and marketing activities by collecting appropriate information to make these processes easier and more effective. The service allows companies to see clearly what customers are likely to require based on their predictable needs and purchasing behaviour and can send an alert whenever buying habits change.

Paul Black, CEO of sales-i, said: “We're delighted to be honoured with this award. Staff motivation and morale are key when working in a new business, so external recognition in the form of an ICT Excellence award is a fantastic endorsement. We are always on the lookout for bright new talent for our technical and sales teams, so we hope the award will bring us to the attention of potential employees too.”

Mike Musson, ICT Manager, added: “This year we've seen the highest standard of award entries yet and competition has been incredibly tough. The judging process has been rigorous and the panel faced a major challenge in deciding the final winners due to the sheer quality, innovation and excellent service provided by all the finalists. The awards are testament to the quality and diversity among technology companies in the West Midlands region.”
