The Evolution of Sales Tech: From CRM to Revenue Intelligence

Revenue Grid is a sales technology company that aims to make CRM invisible for salespeople. They started by developing an Outlook plugin for Salesforce CRM that allowed offline synchronization of contacts, calendar, and emails. The plugin helped salespeople avoid duplicating data and manually entering it into CRM. Instead of selling directly to users of other CRMs, Revenue Grid started working with CRM vendors to license their technology. Their platform can connect to any kind of inbox and calendar and ensure that the relevant data is properly recorded in CRM. Many leading CRM systems use Revenue Grid's technology for email integration. Revenue Grid evolved from being an invisible vendor to becoming a successful company working with clients of all sizes. They realized they were sitting on a treasure trove of structured but incomplete data in CRM, as well as unstructured but complete data outside of CRM. They decided to capitalize on this data and leverage it to provide insights.
