Qvidian’s Sales Enablement Solution, Sales Playbooks & Analytics, boosts
sales team efficiency and effectiveness

LOWELL, MA – April 4, 2013 – Qvidian, the leader in sales enablement
applications for intelligent selling, announced today that Marketo, the
provider of a leading cloud-based marketing software platform, will use the
Qvidian Sales Playbooks & Analytics application to improve the performance
of their sales development team. Marketo will leverage Qvidian to provide
Sales Development Representatives (SDRs) with a guided selling platform
that’s tailored for each opportunity.
Marketo’s sales development team is responsible for pre-qualifying leads for
the field sales team. The company needed a way to quickly ramp-up new SDRs
and ensure they properly position Marketo based on the diverse
characteristics of each Lead.

Qvidian Sales Playbooks & Analytics interprets Lead data in Salesforce.com
and provides the SDR team with a dynamic sales playbook that serves-up the
appropriate messaging, content, tools, and company-wide best practices to
qualify leads at higher rates. Users have easy access to the playbook via
the Lead record in Salesforce.com.

“Qvidian takes insights captured from our internal use of Marketo and
Salesforce.com and turns them into action for our sales team,” said Danielle
Schaumburg, Director, Sales Enablement and Training for Marketo. “We look
forward to expanding our use of Qvidian Sales Playbooks & Analytics to help
us reinforce our sales process, close deals faster, and provide Marketo’s
customers with an excellent sales experience.”

Marketo’s SDR team will now have access to critical sales content such as
competitive information, role-specific elevator pitches, training videos,
product information, and much more right from within Salesforce.com. The SDR
will only be presented with the content that’s relevant to the Lead they are
working. Sales leaders will have visibility into which content and activity
is most effective in qualifying leads so they can replicate those “winning
plays” across the sales team.

“We are delighted to help an industry leader like Marketo,” said Lewis
Miller, President of Qvidian. “Qvidian’s ability to leverage CRM and
marketing automation data to improve sales effectiveness makes our solution
a perfect fit for Marketo.”
