Bay Area Tech Quote of the Week

“One of the things that differentiates our software is that it guides prospectors to use an account-based approach to deal-making. It’s a much more effective way to connect with leads than simply exporting and mass emailing unfiltered contact lists. And, as difficult economic conditions impact more companies, knowing whether a target account is on the upswing or not gives prospectors the power to focus outreach on the most relevant decision-makers who are in a position to buy.” — Jager McConnell, CEO of Crunchbase
