Spoke Software Continues to Expand Customer Roster

Sales prospecting network delivering more leads and shorter sales cycles for leading sales organizations

San Mateo, CA - October 12, 2005—Spoke Software, a provider of sales prospecting solutions, today announced the addition of multiple new companies to its growing customer roster. Leading technology, business services and financial services companies, including Maxager Technology, PremierBPO, Miller Agency and RedPrairie, have all subscribed to the Spoke Premium on-demand application to enable their sales teams to more quickly identify prospects and gain access to buyers in targeted accounts. The growing customer base demonstrates Spoke's continued leadership in the emerging market for next-generation sales prospecting solutions.

Spoke provides a web-based sales prospecting service designed to help sales people identify prospects, research leads and contact decision makers. By leveraging the power of the Spoke lead network, sales people can get information and access to nearly 30 million people at more than 500,000 companies - the largest network of its kind. Because Spoke is delivered as an on-demand application, it can be implemented immediately with full integration to leading CRM solutions, including Salesforce.com and Siebel CRM OnDemand.

"Spoke gives us the visibility we need to efficiently profile buyers within an account, saving us time and money in servicing our clients," said Mark Briggs, CEO of PremierBPO, a leading provider of business process outsourcing. "There is no other solution on the market that lets us identify people at any level within an organization so rapidly, accurately and inexpensively."

"Using Spoke's integration with Salesforce.com, we have added literally hundreds of hard-to-find contacts from Spoke into our prospect database," said Jason Stewart, head of business development at Maxager Technology, a provider of hosted web services for product/customer mix management and sales planning for large manufacturers. "We grew our prospect database by 14% in the first month alone and, best of all, the integration worked with a few clicks without requiring any expensive customization."

Spoke CEO and president Frank Vaculin comments: "Our focus on delivering real value to our customers is reinforced as we see the success that Maxager Technology, PremierBPO, RedPrairie and others are enjoying. With Spoke Premium, the sales and marketing organizations within these companies are able to quickly gain insight, influence and access to their target buyers."

"With Spoke's hosted service, we were up and running instantly with virtually no implementation costs," said Jeff Constable, demand generation leader at RedPrairie, a software provider of supply chain execution solutions. "Spoke has more names at more companies than any other business information service we've seen."
