Collabspot integrates Gmail with leading CRM platforms

Collabspot is working with a new international network of investors they hope will help it target new markets.  Laurent Gasser, Collabspot’s director of business development, says the startup will use its new funding to ramp up marketing and grow the customer relations team for its sales email platform. Most users are small- to medium-sized businesses and Collabspot’s aim is to make data entry as simple as possible for sales staff. Emails can be saved to Collabspot’s CRM platforms and an entire company can view contact info, sales activity and manage new opportunities without opening Highrise or SugarCRM.    

Gasser explained that what differentiates Collabspot from the competition is that they offer a closer integration with the CRM as well as additional Collabspot features that helps salespeople be more efficient. Eighty percent of sales rep jobs can now be done directly from within Gmail, thanks to this browser. Most of its current users are in the U.S. and it has doubled its paying monthly active user base to 1,000 in four months since June.
