iLinc Web and Video Conferencing Blog Collaborate and communicate online

We are happy to announce that iLinc for Salesforce, our web conferencing integration with Salesforce CRM, has been chosen as the Force.com AppExchange “App of the Week”. This cutting edge solution, available for download on the AppExchange, allows organizations to get more out of their marketing webinars, virtual training sessions and online sales demos by ensuring that all registration and attendance data is sent to Salesforce Lead, Contact and Campaign records in near real-time.

To anyone who has ever hosted an online event, this is earth-shattering news. No more wasting time downloading information about registrants from a web conferencing system and then manually uploading it to Salesforce CRM without knowing for sure how to tie that data to existing records.

We all know that one of the biggest keys to every company’s success is the ability to put their best face forward in every external encounter—whether it’s with prospects, shareholders, current customers or people coming across your name on a blog or social networking site. And while technology such as web conferencing can do a lot to help you promote your company in a positive light, a badly-executed board meeting, sales demo or marketing webinar can set you back (not to mention get you a flood of negative posts on Twitter!).

There’s a lot of buzz around webinars these days. Besides being a great way to keep your customers loyal by providing them valuable content and product information, web events put companies in front of hundreds of potential customers at relatively low cost.
