Communication platform dedicated for salespeople launched

It claims of saving salespeople 5 hours per week.

Collabspot bills itself as a sales email communication platform which gives salespeople all the tools needed to communicate more efficiently with their prospects.

Founder and CEO Jeremi Joslin said that the company is driven to solve problems that has anything to do regarding email and salespeople.

"A typical sales workflow revolves around two services: email and CRM. Managing and unifying customer data between these two services is already time-consuming that salespeople become distracted from their main goal, to close deals. Collabspot solves this issue by removing unwanted steps in the sales workflow. It removes the need of tedious copy-pasting of data from email to the CRM. This allows salespeople to easily keep the CRM up-to-date."

Joslin added that another time saver is the ability to view past correspondences contained in the CRM without having to leave the mailbox. Skipping such unwanted steps in the sales workflow, he said, allows salespeople to focus more on building genuine customer relationships in order to close deals faster than ever.

"Salespeople spend a majority of their time interacting with leads through emails. Having to sending dozens of emails that are personalized per prospect can be slow and inefficient. It’s also apparent that the good ol’ days of email blasts have come to an end, and now people receive way too much spam. This is why Collabspot built a sales email platform that’s focused on making them more productive."

Joslin boasts that its platform saves salespeople 5 hours per week on average.

The concept of the product, he said, originated from the need to have CRM information and capabilities alongside their email.

"We were previously working on another product and they needed to start handling sales. It’s during this period that we decided to grow the team and have started to use a CRM. The problem came about when we needed to maintain the CRM, as most of our communications are happening through email. We were not maintaining it due to the burden of data entry and always have to switch back-and-forth between email and CRM." 

"As a solution to the pains we encountered regarding CRM management, we went on to build a browser extension that integrates CRM with Gmail. The extension sits right within Gmail, so it can automatically enter data for the user and can display CRM contact information without the user having to leave the mailbox. This has truly boosted the sales productivity of our customers."

As of today, Joslin said that Collabspot is a bootstrapped company.
