New Site Feature: The Lead Engine

I am excited to share with you the newest edition to the Sales Management 2.0 Social Network: The Lead Engine

As you all know I am constantly searching for new tools and opportunities to make this site more valuable to it’s members and I found something I think you are going to love! The Lead Engine is a Twitter-Enabled contact manager integrated with social media, that allows you to dynamically profile all of your contacts and generates free sales leads. This simple web-based service allows users to connect to a global network of trusted business people providing you with unlimited qualified leads. It also helps you classify and research your contacts, see their Twitter feeds, and use tags to add other RSS feeds so you can move from sales calls to social calls all in a single application. With The Lead Engine you gain access to contacts across industries and functions, allowing you to immediately break into new accounts, expand your network, collaborate with others, and grow your revenues.

I know your thinking to yourself “Brad there are a hundred social networks out there that will help me generate leads. What makes this different?” So I am going to quickly share just a few of my favorite features:

- Your contacts do not have to join
- No one can see your contacts without YOUR permission
- You can hide contacts from your direct competitors
- It provides tools that help your develop and maintain strategic partnerships and communicate about a contact privately.
- It gives quick easy access to the contacts Twitter and blog feed
- You can assign other RSS feeds like local news, hobbies, or industry news
- You can send a Twitter Direct Message right out of the application
- It allows easy importing of contacts from a variety of sources like Linkedin, Plaxo, webmail, and Outlook

There’s more reasons than that to sign up but the best one is its free to join and free to use!

Expect to see more about this from me… I am in close communication with the developers and have been sharing some thoughts for new features. What I can assure you right now is this tool is GREAT as it is and there are more FANTASTIC features on the way.
