Fantail Introduces EventSalesFA: First Cloud Solution for Event & Exposition Sales
Fantail Consulting & Technologies, LLC, the first meetings industry provider to offer a full suite of cloud computing solutions for the events and meetings industry, is pleased to introduce EventSalesFA, the first and only cloud CRM application created exclusively for the event and exhibition industry. EventSalesFA is built on the powerful and flexible Salesforce.com cloud technology platform, by far the #1 cloud CRM sales solution - used daily by over 60,000 sales and marketing organizations worldwide, including over 60% of the Fortune-100.
What makes EventSalesFA unique as a new CRM are the 20+ years of exhibition and sponsorship sales, and event technology experience, that Fantail’s two top executives, Pat Pathade, CEO, and Michael Hatch, President, have built into the new application.
EventSalesFA cloud solution can help associations and show organizers of any size, and any industry to manage their booth, sponsorship, online and print advertising sales more efficiently, grow revenues, increase member and exhibitor satisfaction, and reduce marketing expenses. EventSalesFA features a comprehensive suite of sales and marketing tools, high user adoption, and powerful yet easy to customize functions that are designed to support any sales process, and make it faster to deploy in days, not weeks. Fantail President Michael J. Hatch said, “EventSalesFA is the smart choice for any sales team because they can work from anywhere, share and access their entire sales database, all documents and all the sales tools needed to initiate, manage and close sales. Best of all it’s perfect for organizations of any size, because it has an on-demand pay-as-you-go pricing model and can be affordably launched for a team of one, one hundred, or a thousand and one.”
The EventSalesFA cloud solution was designed for the unique requirements of the events and exhibition industry and built to provide the sales staff and managers with many powerful features. Pat Pathade, CEO of Fantail, said, “EventSalesFA features sales automation solutions tailored to a variety of event and sponsorship sales processes, with customization as easy as ‘point-and-click’. Managers will have access to real-time analytics and sales trend reports enabling better business decisions, and sales automation features developed to boost business development efforts in exhibition, sponsorship and advertising sales.”
The list of standard features offered by EventSalesFA reads like a “must-have” list for non-profit and for-profit sales and marketing professionals, including: Lead, Opportunity, Task and Calendar Management, Account and Multi-Contact Management, Team Selling, Document Sharing and Collaboration Tools, Viewable Historical Documents and Data, Approvals and Workflow, Sales Forecasting and Pipeline Management, Real-Time Reports, Individual and Manager Dashboards, and Sales Content Management.
EventSalesFA integrates with all major 3rd party web applications and meetings industry providers, as well as all Salesforce.com, Force.com, Google and Fantail cloud solutions. The application is instantly mobile, multi-lingual and multi-currency offering many options and flexibility for global deployments offline, online and mobile use and is compatible with all major devices. And one of the great value propositions of all cloud solutions like EventSalesFA is that upgrades are automatic, seamless and free for all customers.
Fantail will be introducing EventSalesFA, their new social media marketing and management program (Redwoods), and their full suite of cloud technology solutions to the exhibition and event industry next month at the IAEE Expo Expo conference and exhibition in Atlanta, on December 9th, 2010.
