Input from sales professionals influence new features in B2B sales and communication software

Castle Rock, CO Feb 13 2008- The Grabow-Hill Company has announced the release of I Present to You! Web Presentation Tools Version 2.0. IPTY Tools were designed to help sales professionals quickly turn routine telephone sales calls into live web presentations.

The software was created by twenty year sales veteran and small business owner, Alan Hill, who took a product he had developed for his own personal use and began to market it nationally as a commercial product in the summer of 2007.

"Because I didn't set out to create software that would be used by anyone but myself" Hill explained, "I hadn't received much input from other sales professionals during development. That meant questions and comments by initial users were absolutely critical if the software was going to be successful in the marketplace. We took every suggestion very seriously and began developing the next version almost immediately." Hill says they plan on offering anyone who purchased the original version a free upgrade to version 2.0.

Many of the new features in IPTY version 2.0 can be found in the suite's newest software tool, the Pic Presenter program. Those features include a whiteboard/telestrator that can import images from almost any source or device, and then allow users to make annotations directly on the images before sharing them with viewers anywhere in the world. The program can also re-write presentation screens on the fly with a click of the mouse, allowing for impromptu presentations that can be customized and personalized for each viewer. During live presentations, Pic Presenter users can capture and share video stills, images from its built-in pdf reader, or even create and capture images from popular spreadsheet, presentation and CAD programs using its object linking and embedding capabilities.

In addition to the Pic Presenter, I Present to You! Tools include the Presenter's Portal software, used for creating web portals, the Web Presentation Designer, for writing live presentation screens, and IPTY Multi-Media & Web Link, a program to help users get started and then keep up to date with news and informational videos.

Timing is everything in sales, and having the ability to deliver a customized presentation quickly can mean the difference between success and failure. That is what led Alan Hill, sales director and owner of The Grabow-Hill Company, to develop I Present to You! Web Presentation Tools, a method of prospecting that turns an ordinary sales phone call into an interactive Internet presentation.

What Hill devised is a portal that allows prospects to go directly to a presentation on the Web. It’s there sales professionals use the I Present to You! software to create presentations while talking with prospects. If a prospect is interested in a particular product, an I Present to You! user ensures the next screen in the presentation includes information about that product. The software also allows sales professionals to edit screens during the presentation for comparison charts, custom quotations and more.

"It's sort of like you're the director of a live television show," says Hill. "Just like a director might have twenty monitors in front of him to choose from, I Present to You! software has thumbnail graphics representing your presentation screens. You just click beside the picture and that's the next screen in your presentation. It gives you complete control over the entire sales process."

I Present to You! software, which sells for less than $50, fills a niche in business that has largely been ignored. Now, live Internet presentations can be done by virtually any professional in companies of any size.
