LAKE FOREST, Calif.,
Sept. 13, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Voice
Assist, Inc. (OTCBB: VSST) announced today the availability of
Voice Assist for Salesforce on AppExchange 2. Utilizing the Voice
Assist for Salesforce software, every salesperson can now dial by
name, send and receive texts, listen and reply to e-mail, and
update Salesforce CRM records by voice or even listen or post to
Salesforce Chatter or other social networks like Facebook and
Twitter – all hands-free. For a limited time, mobile
professionals can download Voice Assist for Salesforce for free for
30 days, including Voice Assist for Chatter.
"The adoption by enterprises of smart devices and applications,
as well as the mounting pressures on the mobile professional to
become more productive and efficient, is creating huge risks and
liabilities to companies that manage a mobile sales or field force
– especially while driving," says Francis
Sideco, Sr. Principal Analyst for Wireless Communications
with IHS iSuppli. "The availability of voice-enabled services
address these challenges and mitigate the risks by enabling
compliance with hands-free driving laws."
The combination of a noise cancelling Bluetooth® headset and
Voice Assist for Salesforce software is the ideal solution for busy
salespeople who are driving and need to keep their hands on the
wheel and their eyes on the road. In today's busy sales
environment, there is usually a post-meeting urgency for
salespeople to update Salesforce CRM records and communicate and
collaborate with their peers. Now mobile salespeople can
immediately update Salesforce by simply pressing a single button
and using their voice. Utilizing a Bluetooth headset or
speakerphone and Voice Assist for Salesforce, a sales person can
keep their Salesforce accounts updated by logging their calls,
updating their opportunities, and posting or listening to various
Chatter groups.
"Salespeople rely on tools that not only help them communicate
and collaborate better and easier with their team members, but also
improve productivity and the ability to multi-task," said
Michael Metcalf, CEO of Voice
Assist. "With Voice Assist for Salesforce, the enterprise
mobile worker can now work efficiently and effectively, hands-free
in their cars and while they're on the road. With this
product offering, mobile salespeople can do almost anything by
voice that they would normally do at their desks with a
keyboard."
