KA CHING! SPOTLIGHT ON CENTERBEAMEVP of Sales Shares Strategy for Success SAN JOSE, CA - March 14, 2006 Karen Hayward, CenterBeam’s executive vice president for sales and marketing will speak tonight at the IBDNetworks event, Getting to Ka-Ching! How to Shake Up Your Startup's Sales Strategy. Hayward’s topic will be Time: The Most Precious Resource. She’ll explain how she has created tightly-managed sales methodologies that win business. “Too many sales people waste too much time chasing too many prospects who couldn't care less. A tightly-managed, methodical approach -- how many calls, how many emails, etc. -- ensures a more efficient use of a sales person's time and a standard methodology that can be measured and tuned over time. Since Hayward joined CenterBeam four years ago, she has completely re-engineered how the company goes to market. Hayward’s methodology has won CenterBeam many new clients, awards, and international recognition. She has been profiled in Investor’s Business Daily’s Leaders & Success column and Selling magazine named her its annual “All Star” in 2004. Under Hayward’s leadership, CenterBeam regularly attracts the attention of important opinion makers such as leading IT industry analyst Gartner. Gartner has published a case study on the CenterBeam service and cited CenterBeam’s innovative approach when the firm named CenterBeam one of the “Cool Vendors” in IT management.
