ChinaNet Online Holdings' Liansuo.com Launches New Cloud-Based Service System
October 12 2012 - 7:30AM
ChinaNet Online Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq:CNET) (the "Company"), a
leading B2B (business to business) Internet technology company
focusing on providing online-to-offline ("O2O") sales channel
expansion services for small businesses (so-called small and
medium-sized enterprises ("SMEs") in China) and entrepreneurial
management and LINK services for entrepreneurs in the People's
Republic of China, today announced that its operating unit for
medium and large franchises – Liansuo.com – introduced a new
cloud-based software system that allows businesses and existing and
potential sales channel partners to communicate with each other
more efficiently.
Quick Connect, its new software co-developed by ChinaNet and
ChinaNet's partners, allows new and existing sales channel partners
to reach businesses to more efficiently communicate with one
another by converting all incoming calls to a toll free telephone
number starting with the "400" prefix to the party they are trying
to reach. Quick Connect also keeps a detailed log of all incoming
calls that businesses can port into their customer relations
management ("CRM") database to track every sales lead. Management
expects the new cloud-based software system to drive additional
spending for value-added services on Liansuo.com.
Mr. George Chu, COO of ChinaNet, said, "We developed a simple,
cost effective way for small business customers to increase their
client conversion rates. Most small businesses cannot afford to buy
expensive CRM software. As a result of not maintaining an updated
log of communications with potential clients and business partners,
many small businesses lose sales they otherwise would have
captured. A few Liansuo.com clients that have implemented Quick
Connect have seen their conversion rates increased by 11% to 17%
within a month. We plan to roll this product out to four million
small and franchise business owners nationwide over the next few
months. This new product will help augment the growth rate of
Liansuo.com in the months ahead."
