Lucid Meetings Integrates Glance Instant Screen Sharing Into Virtual Meeting Service

Glance emerging as screen-sharing technology of choice for OEMs

 

Arlington, Mass. January 12, 2012 – Glance Networks (http://www.glance.net), which provides the best instant screen-sharing tool for sales and support professionals, announced today that Lucid Meetings has integrated Glance’s service as part of its offering. Lucid users can now integrate Glance sessions into their own meetings allowing participants access from any device, be it desktop or mobile.


Presenters can start a Glance session by clicking on a “Share” button within the Lucid Meetings interface. No software downloads are required for participants, who are instantly able to view the presenter’s screen.

 

“We sought a partnership where API development was core to the vendor’s strategy – so that we could integrate it tightly and in turn provide our clients with a screen-sharing solution that was quick, easy and just worked,” said Elise McIntosh, co-founder of Lucid Meetings. “Having tried to integrate other solutions, we knew what we did and didn’t want – and our research led us to Glance. We’re very excited to be the first virtual meeting service to provide this fantastic technology to our users; feedback on this new feature from our early customers has been extremely positive.”

 

Glance is emerging as the screen-sharing platform of choice for many OEM software and service vendors due to the flexible APIs, its simple yet secure architecture, excellent support for mobile devices, and the fact that no software is required for meeting participants. Other Glance integrations include Salesforce.com and LivePerson.

 

Tom Scontras, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Glance, said, “Lucid Meetings is making internal meetings infinitely easier and more efficient, and we think the addition of instant screen sharing will bring huge advantages to their customers. We’re proud to now be a part of their innovative service.”

 

The Lucid/Glance integration is available immediately to Lucid Meetings customers. To learn more, visit www.lucidmeetings.com.

Screen-Sharing Tool from Glance Helps Deluxe Corporation Improve Sales and Service Productivity

“Glance has made a major impact on our team’s productivity and helped shorten our sales cycles considerably. Our customers want a quick and easy product demo, and Glance delivers.”

About Deluxe

Deluxe Corporation (NYSE: DLX), headquartered in St. Paul, Minn. provides a variety of products and services that help small businesses and financial institutions attract and retain customers. In addition to its personalized printed products, Deluxe offers a growing suite of business services, including logo design, payroll, web design and hosting, business networking and other web-based services to help small businesses grow. In the financial services industry, Deluxe sells check programs and fraud prevention, customer loyalty and retention programs to help banks build lasting relationships and grow core deposits.

Deluxe’s Challenge

Deluxe sales and support representatives do much of their selling by phone, and product demos are key to those interactions. Deluxe reps often need to share their screens with customers, either to close business or resolve service issues.

In recent years, Deluxe sales reps found that time pressure had increasingly become the key challenge small business owners faced when working with Deluxe over the phone. Customers would say, “I don’t have much time - if you can’t do this fast, I have to go.” Mark McCarthy, Director of Sales Competency and Training for Deluxe, knew the company had to find a way to shorten screen-sharing sessions without sacrificing the quality of interactions.

“It’s easier to demonstrate to a customer how our financial payroll services work rather than just talk about it over the phone,” says McCarthy. “But our small business customers don’t have the capacity, time or resources to engage in a lengthy series of meetings. We wanted a fast and easy screen-sharing tool that would enable reps to quickly and clearly demonstrate our offerings so customers could make a decision on the spot.”  McCarthy knew that if Deluxe could better engage customers during the demo process, its sales revenue would rise.

How Glance Helps

As he researched possible alternatives, McCarthy came across an article by a respected blogger on Glance and his interest was piqued.

Glance’s service is known for simplicity and speed – session participants are connected in seconds with one click and no software to download. Reps simply invite customers to visit their personal Glance URL and enter a 4-digit security key code, and moments later the customer can see the rep’s screen. Reps can share control of their mouse and keyboard, so it feels like they’re working side-by-side with the customer, and can even initiate reverse sessions where they can view the customer’s screen (with permission).

It was just what Deluxe needed. After an evaluation, McCarthy and his team implemented Glance. Deluxe customers now enjoy the instant connection that Glance’s screen-sharing service provides. Deluxe sales reps can quickly demo online marketing services, work together to customize retail products, negotiate contracts and deliver training, all via Glance sessions. Because no data is exchanged between devices, sessions are completely secure – critical given that many Deluxe customers are financial institutions.

Glance is now a key part of the company’s formal sales process for two nationwide sales groups in the United States and parts of Canada. In addition, Deluxe often uses Glance internally as a tool to train its own staff on its products and services.

“Glance has met all of our expectations and is simple to use and administer.  Our sales reps love Glance,” says McCarthy.

Results

Currently Deluxe has more than 100 sales and service reps nationwide using Glance, all day, every day. Recently, Deluxe launched a new retail business services division and Glance was essential to the success of this launch due to the volume of demos required.

McCarthy reports that productivity has definitely improved since Deluxe implemented Glance and the feedback from the sales divisions has been overwhelmingly positive. Sales reps no longer hear from their customers “I don’t have time for this,” and Glance has proven to be highly reliable enabling reps to spend more time selling.

McCarthy originally purchased individual licenses for Deluxe reps, but upgraded to an enterprise license in 2011 to accommodate the company’s growing use of Glance. Next up, Deluxe will integrate Glance with salesforce.com, its sales and service system of record. This will enable Deluxe reps to launch collaborative sales and support sessions simply by clicking on a Glance icon appearing on any salesforce.com object. Glance for Salesforce automatically tracks and stores all session activity, enabling real-time, accurate reporting, and allows customers to join sessions from any mobile device, including iPad, iPhone, BlackBerry and Android. 

“Glance has made a major impact on our team’s productivity and helped shorten our sales cycles considerably,” says McCarthy. “Glance was the right choice for us. Our customers want a quick and easy product demo, and Glance delivers.”

Glance Networks to Present at AA-ISP’s Inside Sales 2011 Boston Conference

Glance’s Tom Scontras to share his perspective on the impact that social, mobile and generational shifts will have on B2B sales and marketing

 

Arlington, Mass. November 29, 2011 – Glance Networks (http://www.glance.net), which provides the best instant screen-sharing tool for sales and support professionals, today announced that it is a sponsor of the upcoming American Association of Inside Sales Professionals (AA-ISP) Inside Sales 2011 Boston conference. In a featured presentation, Glance’s Tom Scontras, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, will address front-line sales reps in a session titled, “The Inside Sales Rep of the Future.”

 

Who                      Tom Scontras, Vice President of Sales & Marketing, Glance Networks

 

What                     Featured Presentation: “The Inside Sales Rep of the Future”

The sales world is changing and sales professionals must evolve. Longtime innovator and sales and marketing leader Tom Scontras will share his perspective on what the sales professional of the future will look like and the required skill set needed to thrive.

 

Traditionally, within B2B transactions, buyers were dependent on sellers to provide expert advice. Today, social networks promote a free and open exchange of information that continues to drastically impact traditional buyer-seller relations and engagement models. Buyers are no longer relegated to phone, email, or fax to gather information. Instead, they immerse themselves in real-time conversations, through various business and social networks, seeking answers through peer-driven conversations. This session will cover how this dynamic affects inside salespeople, and what they can do to ensure they remain a vital part of the sales process.

 

When                   9:00 – 9:30 a.m. ET Thursday, December 1, 2011

Glance releases version 2.0 for Salesforce and completes award-winning screen-sharing integration for Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Chatter and Mobile.

The only real-time, screen-sharing service for customer-facing demos, presentation and support sessions.

San Francisco, Calif. – Aug. 31, 2011 – From Dreamforce 2011 (Booth #701, with partner Bluewolf), Glance Networks today launched version 2.0 of Glance for Salesforce, its award-winning screen-sharing technology. 

The upgrade extends the company’s sales cloud offering to the service cloud, allowing agents to launch collaborative support sessions simply by clicking on a Glance icon appearing on Ad.pic any salesforce.com object.  

Like its initial release, the service automatically tracks and stores all support activity, enabling real-time, accurate reporting; with 2.0 Glance has added new sales and services dashboards, each including six customizable reports. 

Known for its focus on real time engagement, Glance’s version 2.0 also incorporates a 
“mobile join” feature, allowing guests to connect to sessions via any mobile device, including iPad, iPhone, BlackBerry and Android. 

The company has also incorporated Glance for Chatter, a built-in service that automatically updates the status of demos, online presentations or remote support sessions.  Included within the Chat notification is a link to the session in progress; users can simply click and instantly join.

In preparing for the release, the company presented sneak peek opportunities to a select group of industry experts, analysts and clients – as a result, Glance for Salesforce was recently named a “Top 10 App for Salesforce” by DemandGen Report and “A Must-Have Tool for Salesforce.com Users” by Smart Selling Tools. With a user rating score of 4.8 (out of 5), Glance for Salesforce is now one of the most highly rated Apps for sales and service productivity on the AppExchange.

“Salesforce.com customers are looking for means to make their sales and services organizations more efficient and effective,” says Tom Scontras, VP Sales and Marketing at Glance Networks. “It’s simple; our customers want tools that improve real-time communications with prospects and customers. Glance for Salesforce 2.0 completes that picture by consolidating demo, presentation and remote support tools into one simple, integrated service.” 

Reed Construction Data is one of many companies that have already made Glance for Salesforce a key part of their sales and support processes. “We rely heavily on demos as part of our sales process, and are a big Salesforce customer,” explained Lisa Fiondella, Chief Customer Officer at Reed. “Layering Glance on top of our Salesforce implementation has helped Reed significantly boost sales team productivity. To date, with Salesforce.com and Glance we’ve reduced sales cycles by 60 percent and improved lead conversion rates by 40 percent. We’re looking forward to taking advantage of the features in Glance for Salesforce 2.0 in order to expand the benefits beyond our sales group and into the service team.”

Glance will demonstrate Glance for Salesforce 2.0 publicly for the first time at this week’s Dreamforce 2011 conference. The company is co-exhibiting with agile business consulting firm Bluewolf in booth #701. Reed’s Fiondella is a featured speaker in the Bluewolf theater, in a session titled, “Increasing Productivity, Conversion Rates, and Revenue by Integrating Salesforce.com Apps.”

Glance launches new integrated, on-the-fly-demo tool for Salesforce CRM
Sales reps will be able to launch demos instantly from Salesforce

ARLINGTON, Mass. – November 8, 2010 – Glance Networks, the Sales 2.0 thought leader known best for its on-the-fly-demo tool, announced today Glance for Salesforce – a version of the service that’s fully integrated with Force.com, Salesforce.com’s enterprise cloud computing platform.

Glance for Salesforce enables sales representatives to launch demos instantly, while behind the scenes Glance’s Cloud Service automatically tracks and stores each rep’s activity enabling real-time reporting. Glance for Salesforce dashboards provide critical insight into how sales demos impact rep productivity and the corresponding bottom line.

Glance solutions are already used by thousands of companies worldwide to enhance productivity, shorten sales cycles, reduce costs and close more business.

Glance sessions can be initiated with just one click. With no software to download, participants are instantly connected. Glance for Salesforce can also be used for customer support sessions.

Glance for Salesforce turns sales reps into quota killers
According to Tom Scontras, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Glance, Glance for Salesforce was developed to address the fact that customers and prospects are increasingly harried, and less and less likely to spend a lot of time on the phone with a salesperson. Instead, they gather information in sound bites, in a series of dynamic conversations, leveraging technology to gain access to what they want, when they want it. “Customer expectations have changed so much in the past few years, and the smartest companies are adapting their sales processes to match those expectations,” said Scontras. “People don’t have the time for lengthy phone conversations or online meetings.  They might give a salesperson two minutes to make their case. Glance for Salesforce equips sales reps with the ability to make the greatest impact even in the briefest phone conversation and helps them kill their quotas.”

Current Glance user Trish Bertuzzi, President of The Bridge Group, Inc., said,  “We are already using both Glance and Salesforce CRM as core components within our sales process and are eager to implement the integrated Glance for Salesforce service. I am confident that it will make a significant impact in productivity by enabling reps to launch demos directly from Salesforce. The innovative reporting and management dashboards will allow us to accurately measure the impact these sessions have within any stage of our sales cycle. We’re excited about rolling this out to our team as well as our client base in December.”

Scontras noted that many of Glance’s existing users were already on the Force.com platform for sales and support. “When we asked how we could help make their teams even more productive, Salesforce integration was at the top of their wish list,” said Scontras. “We’re really pleased with the outcome, and think it will give us a great advantage when selling into a company that’s already using Salesforce CRM. Our delivery models, in terms of ‘no software,’ are very well aligned.”

Glance for Salesforce will be available in early December through the Salesforce.com AppExchange 2 marketplace at http://www.salesforce.com/appexchange/. For a free, 7-day trial of Glance, visit glance.net.
