CAMPBELL, Calif., Aug. 4, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Rainmaker Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: RMKR),a leading global provider of B2B e-commerce solutions that drive online sales and renewals for products, subscriptions and training for our clients and their channel partners, today announced three new clients utilizing the Rainmaker Cultivate solution to deliver sale-ready customers to clients' inside sales organizations with global deployments across North America and EMEA while supporting native languages. For these programs, the Rainmaker Cultivate Solution is being used to score, qualify and deliver sale-ready leads on behalf of companies in the high tech manufacturer, information security and medical industries.

Rainmaker was chosen for its unique combination of global online selling and sales agents which allows Rainmaker to efficiently sell into their client's hard to reach middle market while supporting a cloud-based, multi-channel strategy. Many companies are working with multiple vendors or internal solutions that lack integration to support their global sales efforts. This results in lost revenue opportunities. Rainmaker's distinct advantage is its simple, integrated, global solution. An additional benefit of the Rainmaker solution is Rainmaker's commitment to become a partner not simply a vendor, able to turn basic customer contact points into revenue generating opportunities while simplifying otherwise complex sales and marketing needs to drive global revenue growth.

Michael Silton, Rainmaker's CEO, commented, "Rainmaker is committed to partnering with our clients to enable them to meet their business objectives through a refined, scalable business process which combines global sales agents with technology to improve global sales."

Rainmaker is focused on enhancing incremental revenue at all stages in the B2B e-commerce buying cycle. The Rainmaker Cultivate Solution delivers best in class chat and call-me-now options, combined with the latest marketing automation technology, to dramatically increase the conversion of current website traffic (or trial downloads) into qualified pipeline leads. The simplified widget makes getting the right information quick and easy while global support means service is delivered in all the languages and time zones wanted and needed. These features, combined with marketing automation technology, allows Rainmaker to track end users on your website and use your existing marketing activities to educate, develop, score and qualify potential customers through proprietary rule sets.
