Alltel Wireless Launches SalesNOW.

Sales tool for mobile professionals provides information in palm of hand

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. -- Alltel Wireless, America's largest network, today announced that it is the first U.S-based carrier to offer small business customers SalesNOW[R], a contact, activity and deal management software designed for the BlackBerry[R] and the Web. SalesNOW utilizes the functionality of the BlackBerry to provide customers with the ability to manage their sales data in the palm of their hands.

With the SalesNOW application, professionals can track and manage their contacts, deals, activities and e-mails as well as access and share information with their entire sales team. Customers can perform these activities on their BlackBerry or on the Web through an individual, secure SalesNOW account. Changes the user makes within SalesNOW on the BlackBerry are automatically synced to SalesNOW on the Web and vice versa. The application also allows sales teams to provide up-to-date information on sales activity, view and print weekly activity reports, collaborate on team forecasts, track sale details and next steps on business deals.

Additionally, SalesNOW enhances administrative time management and productivity by giving users the ability to update graphical reports and dashboards, which allows professionals to focus on building quality customer relationships.

"This innovative solution is the ultimate sales tool for the mobile professional and demonstrates Alltel's commitment to deliver the most beneficial business applications available today."
