New York, NY (PRWEB) May 08, 2012

LSR Technologies, LLC, of Oldwick, NJ announces they have overcome major hurdles to win their patent over those used by IBM, and Travelocity, among others, for a revolutionary patent. The new technology allows users to turn any site into their instant inside informant by alerting them to changes to variables on that website. As the Oldwick, NJ company grows its current customer base, the company is discussing partnerships to distribute and deploy the technology as widely as possible.

“This is a real game changer for anyone who wants to keep their fingers on the pulse of something on a micro or macro level,” says Laurence Ross, Principal at LSR. “Beyond a simple price checker that empowers consumers to find the best price on any item, service or travel package, this technology allows you to create an instantly updating dashboard that enables you to view the changing activity of an entire sector. It has applications for real estate, sales, farming, medicine, investing, you name it. Once you define your watch list, you can quickly add additional queries from the same sources to analyze an even more detailed picture automatically alerting you on whichever device you want.”

This lucrative, powerful patent (U.S. Patent No. 8,161,064) is hidden under the title of, “System for Searching Network Accessible Data Sets.” The new patented invention is a user-friendly method for requesting change-alerts via the web or mobile devices. This is the second patent issued to LSR Technologies, the first was a saved search engine. Another patent, designed by LSR for sharing saved searches or change-alerts, will be published by the Patent Office on July 12th of this year.

The three, above-mentioned software solutions were developed by Ross in response to the need to populate and update contact managers such as SalesForce with contact and planning information from his web-based daily bulletin for advertising sales, Sales-Fax News (https://www.sales-fax.com). Prolecto Resources, of Los Angeles, California, wrote the code and produced the schematics for the patent application. The first patent, service-marked, Sales-Chip™ is the saved search engine. The just-published second patent, called, “Chip-Alerts™” on sales-fax.com, leverages the first to deliver updates via email. Together, the two patented inventions work as a mechanism to “push” contact intelligence updates and sales leads almost instantly. The patent for sharing, also featured on SFN, as the “Lead Management System” (LMS) is the third element.

According to Ross, the introduction of “Chip Alerts” to subscribers of Sales-Fax News has made a significant contribution to meeting the demand for change-notification, especially when it comes to reporting the constant changes among client-agency relationships. “First, we started with Sales-Chips, which empowers subscribers to access information from Sales-Fax News on any internet-enabled device, where it will dial the contact’s number for them,” Ross explains. “This gives subscribers a window on the news and key contacts in virtually any Web-friendly environment. Once they enter a search, and save it as a ‘Sales-Chip,’ their Sales-Chip displays updated intelligence every time they click it thereafter.”

“Now, with Chip-Alerts,” Ross continues, “Subscribers know everything about breaking campaigns and company or contact changes as it is published. When it comes to advertising sales,” he adds, “This kind of change-notification is vital to success, especially when it’s delivered wherever they get their email.”

“Leaders in every media, such as Google, Microsoft, ABC, Fox Television, CBS Outdoor, ESPN, Sports Illustrated, and USA Today have made good use of this unique feature,” reports Ross, the publisher and founder of Sales-Fax News, “As a result, subscription sales and renewal rates are way up. Subscribers give Chip-Alerts glowing reviews,” according to Kristina Caruso, Director, New Business Sales and Marketing for Viacom’s Nickelodeon, “Prospecting is a crucial yet time consuming part of my job, so I find Chip Alerts to be an incredibly valuable tool. It delivers key contacts and updates directly to my inbox, saving me time and helping me keep my pipeline full of new, well-qualified business leads.”

Future uses of the patent:

According to Keith Nowak, Partner in the Intellectual Property Department of Carter Ledyard and Milburn LLP, that all three patents were filed in succession, and allowed as applied, is a testament to their novelty at a time when software patents are coming under increasingly rigorous examinations.

“Few clients manage to achieve a ‘three-for-three’ record, especially for business method patents which are increasingly difficult to obtain,” he explains. “We are pleased to have been of assistance in obtaining LSR’s patents,” adds Nowak.

“Interest in our technology is quite keen,” says Ross. “Other providers of time-sensitive intelligence, such as price or the availability of advertising, see the merits of licensing our methods for their own sites. The new patented system for change-notification allows users to customize alerts on relevant information that has changed between a first and subsequent execution of the patented search engine. A key advantage of the invention allows users to modify the alert, without altering the underlying query or search request. Other advantages extend to operators of Web sites. Since the invention does not require the storage of results to measure change, data storage and processing time is significantly reduced. Therefore, the new patent is ideal for use in cloud computing where costs are driven by the space and time used on shared servers.” “As a result,” concludes Ross, “We look forward to collaborating with sites that feature frequent changes in prices for consumer goods and services, travel rates and real estate listings. Of course, the potential for remote monitoring and change notification for medical, industrial or agricultural purposes are also promising. If initial interest in these patents are any indication, their future is wide open.”

King of Prussia, PA (PRWEB) May 08, 2012

Lorel Marketing Group (Lorel), a full-service marketing agency, announced a new pay-for-performance multi-channel marketing solution. It is designed to help marketers drive incremental revenue streams by leveraging deep customer insight, reduce the typical upfront technology cost and deliver customer-centric campaigns across multiple channels simultaneously; together, these benefits deliver a system that is both efficient and cost-effective.

Lorel’s new pay-for-performance program protects marketers from overpaying for underperforming campaigns so that in turn, they pay only for the leads or sales. Using a two-step process, the program initially focuses on targeting quality leads from a pool of potential prospects. Lorel uses a variety of online media channels to drive potential leads to customized audience-specific landing pages based on industry, interests and targeted outcomes. Prospects then pre-qualify their level of interest using specific client-developed criteria. The Lorel platform then gathers and analyzes data based on a specific set of parameters, matched against the campaign initiative KPIs. Each individual lead is then added to the customer database which can be accessed by a secure online web portal.

The lead generation program is designed to deliver verified leads or contact data automatically and in real-time. The system manages series of outbound triggered emails by leveraging segmentation data at the contact level to confirm receipt as well as further validate the pre-qualification information.

Additionally, it automates the distribution of notifications to internal client stakeholders based on the pre-defined business rules that are established by the client. The delivery of automated pre-qualified leads to the correct representative allows for more effective, engaging relationships with potential customers and increases the efficiencies for conversions.

Benefits of the program enable the client to:

Improve the capturing of customer information across multiple systems and multiple channels.

Generate dynamic customer-centric content and messaging that is both relevant and impactful.

Nurture customer engagement through an automated, streamlined series of dialogs that are based on contact data, analytics and lifecycle.

Track the interaction of the contact data against key performance metrics and optimize the campaign on the fly.

“Lorel has designed this program to help our clients to minimize the upfront investment in technology and strategic resources and deliver a pay per-performance marketing solution,” says Sebastian Pistritto, president Lorel Marketing Group Lorel Marketing Group. “Marketers typically understand how to manage a campaign requirement, but may find it difficult to optimize numerous customer interactions that occur daily across multiple campaigns. Our solution helps our clients manage more effectively which translates to enhancing their customer retention and increased sales.”

By automating the system of in-bound leads, businesses now have a more efficient way of converting prospects into leads and following up on verified, pre-qualified contacts. This cost-effective program is fully customizable for industries and sub-industries, and even individual campaigns. Furthermore, clients are only charged for qualified leads, therefore eliminating up-front time and expense incurred on following up on cold calling prospects.

The Lorel Lead Generation Platform is also scalable, providing benefits to clients both large and small, and integrates fully with leading customer relationship management (CRM) platforms for single-sourced lead management. By streamlining the lead generation process, salespeople are free to focus their energy on leads that have a higher probability of conversion.

For more information about Lorel’s lead generation program, please visit our website or contact Kate DiGiacomo for more information.

Lorel Marketing Group is a full-service, multi-channel marketing agency in its twenty-fifth year of accelerating the measurable success of leading lifestyle and healthcare brands. We specialize in insight mining, strategy development, branded creative and measurable marketing promotions that embrace integrated online and offline tactics.

Houston, TX (PRWEB) May 07, 2012

Many auto dealers grossly underuse their CRM and in some cases have no idea of its full capabilities. CAR-Research XRM, a single-source CRM solution uniquely branded as “XRM, Exceeding CRM” today announced a new system of holding their Client Relationship Specialists accountable to new benchmark reports that ensure all auto dealer clients reap maximum benefits from the CRM. The Client Relationship Specialists are compensated based upon how well auto dealerships under their care use the CRM, improve their processes, capture more sales and increase profitability.

The benchmark reports monitor key statistics and processes that ensure that the dealership sales team is making optimum use of the CRM; logging showroom customers, promptly following up with customers and leads, setting appointments and closing a good percentage. The new system takes a crawl, walk, run, fly approach. The dealership starts at a basic level, then when all benchmark areas turn green, the dealership graduates to the next level and the Client Relationship Specialist receives a pay increase. To help guarantee top performance, if the dealership should fall back into a previous lower level, the pay likewise decreases until the dealership is again raised to the next level.

“Some auto dealer vendors and CRMs have been criticized in the past for selling and installing the system and then walking away and never contacting the dealer again. This results in a system that is not used to its full potential, if at all,” said Patrick Kelly President and COO of CAR Research XRM. “There’s a reason CAR-Research maintains a 98% recommendation from its dealers. Our new benchmark reports ensure that our field staff is out there in their stores regularly; not just making an appearance and shaking hands, but actually going over the reports and looking at the system to see areas of strength and areas that can be improved. We work hard to ensure that our dealerships are not missing any opportunity to follow up, make a sale and improve profitability.”

CAR-Research XRM has developed a proven singular solution that helps an auto dealership run more effectively and proficiently. It is a web-based, comprehensive CRM solution that helps increase revenue from sales and service, improve customer satisfaction index (CSI) and service satisfaction index (SSI), and boost the dealership’s gross profit. A dealership can consolidate all its departments into a manageable solution that delivers value through proven processes at every stage of the customer life cycle.

The XRM platform offers over 50 CRM and Marketing Applications, including Internet Lead Mgr, Showroom Control, Desking with DMS push, Websites, Call Center, Integrated Telephony, Mobile XRM, Inventory Control Manager, Service Drive Control Manager©, and Social CRM. The XRM integration model allows dealers to eliminate redundant vendors and save money on their customer relationship efforts by bundling custom solutions for their store.

“It’s been a pleasant surprise to have found a vendor that I can count on to deliver on the ‘promise’ of their products,” said Brian Cole, e-Commerce Director with the Napleton Auto Group. “So many other vendors in the past have been great at making presentations to us, but fell far short in ‘delivering the goods’. CAR-Research really has been a great combination of ‘product and people’ and I look forward to many more years of partnering with them.”

About CAR-Research XRM:

CAR-Research XRM provides auto dealerships with a comprehensive single-source CRM solution and has been helping dealerships grow their business and increase profits since 1994. Its founders worked in the retail automotive industry for years before forming CAR-Research XRM.

Using this experience and industry knowledge, the company built its dealership solution one piece at a time, resulting in the industry’s most advanced single-source dealer solution, one that exceeds traditional CRM’s. For more information visit http://www.CAR-Research.com or call 800-376-5918

Coming soon to the Apple Store for direct download!

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) April 30, 2012

The experiential marketing industry’s premiere technology solutions provider, eshots, today introduced its most powerful lead capture solution ever. For the first time, this release will bring QuickCapture 4 to the Apple App Store, satisfying the marketing needs of image-conscious brands while delivering a highly efficient experience to survey participants on some of the world’s most innovative, user-friendly survey technology.

“With QuickCapture 4, eshots didn’t just make an incremental improvement to its lead capture technology,” said Chrysler Global Events Manager, Bo Puffer. “These changes deliver unique efficiencies and innovative design in lead capture. We applaud eshots’ commitment to keep pushing the technology envelope and are excited about the high impact way they’re leveraging Apple’s devices.”

QuickCapture 4 enables marketers to gather as many leads as possible on easy-to-use iPad and iPhone devices through a high-impact, branded survey application that can be downloaded right to the client’s own devices, saving time and money. Through native iOS and other bleeding edge development frameworks, the graphic-rich interface can be rendered in both landscape mode for kiosk use, or portrait mode for staff-facing data collection. In addition, the app adapts seamlessly to the iPhone for product specialists and brand ambassadors on-the-go. The minute a QuickCapture 4-powered lead capture application is launched at an event, three levels of automation kick in:

Auto Locate: GPS technology automatically synchronizes lead capture devices with only the right events in that location, making sure in advance that the brand’s custom surveys are properly managed and associated.

Auto Update: In-market survey and event schedule changes are automatically and instantly downloaded.

Auto Upload: Right after an event participant completes a survey, his or her information is automatically uploaded to eshots’ cloud and into the client’s CRM system. If a network connection is not present, the encrypted data is stored securely as the application continues to run off-line, automatically transferring data up to the cloud when a connection is restored.

QuickCapture 4 can be integrated with the eshots’ Rapid Response automated email service, which sends a timely, customized call-to-action to the participant with robust and real-time reporting in eshots Event Intelligence portal.

“With the Apple devices, more automation is possible in a much more elegant design for the end user,” said eshots President, Craig Steensma. “We engineered QuickCapture 4 to minimize lead capture administration time and hardware costs, while maximizing the time spent in front of event participants capturing leads. And making it available for direct download from the Apple store means it’s never been easier for experiential event marketers to gain access to a world class lead capture app.”

Demos of eshots’ QuickCapture 4 are available at the eshots booth during the Event Marketing Summit, being held at the Sheraton Chicago through May 2nd, or by contacting eshots at 312-253-1527.
