Novel use of Twitter to enable Sales Teams to Benchmark Performance

PALO ALTO, Calif., Dec. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- EchoSign, the leading Web-based provider of electronic signatures and signature automation with over 1.2 million users worldwide, today launched a novel Twitter integration that allows sales teams worldwide to "ring the bell" on Twitter the moment a deal is signed and closed.

Good natured competition, and bragging rights about closed deals, have long been part of the fun, and hunt, of the sales rep. EchoSign-for-Twitter takes that to the next level by allowing sales reps and sales teams to auto-tweet the moment a deal is signed, and to auto-tweet how quickly they've closed a deal.

EchoSign's 15,000 customers have on average brought their send-to-sign time down from over a week to under 42 minutes, by signing on the web.

Each month, the Top Closer, and the Quickest Closer -- as tracked on Twitter -- in each category will each be awarded a $50 Peet's Card ... Coffee is For Closers.

"We don't all have time to keep up with the Mafia Wars," says Jason Lemkin, CEO & co-founder of EchoSign. "We've got something better for busy sales teams. Coffee, golf, and other prizes, and the glory of being the Top Closer - just by clicking on 'Twitter Integration' on their Account Tab"

Twitter has generally been seen as a consumer tool, and a business intelligence tool. EchoSign-for-Twitter enables a novel use case in between, sharing anonymized sales success across thousands of organizations worldwide using the Twitter API.

EchoSign-for-Twitter contains no customer or personal data, is "opt-in", and on group/team/enterprise accounts, can be enabled or disabled by administrators at any time.
