Eric Blumthal’s Summary
I am CEO of Count5, the inventor of workforce alignment software. Count5's workforce alignment software, called Q, improves speed2revenue by helping companies drive change faster, more predictably & more efficiently than alternative methods.
Q is a "push communications" tool that automates ongoing reinforcement with the front lines and that quantifies user participation and understanding of change.
To senior sales & operations executives, we improve speed-to-revenue by making people more accountable for change.
To sales operations, training and marketing professionals, we fill critical gaps in their front line communications, training and support efforts - and we help them do much more with less resources than alternatives.
Our customers are typically B2B companies with large field sales/service operations - customers include Cigna, Coca Cola, Cbeyond, ARRIS Group, etc.
