Rainmaker Announces New $2 Million Two-Year Agreement for B2B Sales with Existing Major Global Software Client

CAMPBELL, Calif., Aug. 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Rainmaker Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: RMKR), a leading global provider of B2B solutions that drive online sales and renewals for products, subscriptions and training for clients and their channel partners, today announced it has signed a new two-year agreement with a total value of more than $2 million over the full term with an existing major global software client for B2B sales.  This represents a further expansion of business with this client.

"We are excited to further expand our business with this existing major global software client and believe the award of this agreement for a new B2B sales program reflects our success with the initial pilot and the proven ability of our sales solutions to help them drive increased revenue for their cloud-based offerings," said Michael Silton, Rainmaker's CEO.

The Rainmaker B2B e-commerce suite is a simple, integrated, global solution that combines B2B focused technology with business process and sales expertise. The Rainmaker solution specializes in efficiently selling and renewing into its clients' hard to reach middle market.  Many companies are working with multiple vendors or internal solutions that lack integration to support their global sales efforts, resulting in lost revenue opportunities.
