ClearSlide Named A Sales Enablement Automation Systems Leader by Independent Research Firm

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- ClearSlide, the Sales Engagement Platform leader, today announced it was named a Leader in the Forrester Wave™ Sales Enablement Automation Systems, 2016. The report outlines how marketing and sales enablement teams view sales enablement as a key way to address their top challenges, including how sellers find and use content, buyers' engagement with content, and measuring content's effectiveness in winning, serving and retaining customers.

In its report of the growing sales enablement automation market, Forrester Research evaluated the most significant providers and evaluated each company against 33 criteria, including current offering, strategy, and market presence. Identified as a Leader in the Forrester Wave, ClearSlide was the Top-Ranked provider for Market Presence, and among the vendors with the highest scores for Engagement, Account Based Marketing (ABM) Readiness, and Planned Enhancements.

"Our entire team has worked tirelessly to innovate and deliver an integrated platform used by thousands of companies around the world. We focus on making every customer interaction successful by delivering the most complete engagement system that integrates content, communications and actionable engagement insights." 

The Forrester Research report states that the Sales Enablement Automation (SEA) market is growing because more B2B marketing professionals see sales enablement as a key way to address their top challenges. This market growth is fueled by the fact that B2B marketing pros increasingly rely on SEA systems providers to act as strategic partners in managing seller-focused content and measuring sellers' and buyers' engagement. Forrester defines SEA as a software category that support Forrester's sales enablement execution goals through: content management, prescriptive recommendations, engagement analytics, usage reporting, and a seller-oriented user experience.
