PITTSBURGH, August 18, 2010 - Matrix Solutions, the leading provider of sales management software for media companies, announced today that Telemundo, one of the largest Spanish-language networks in the United States, has selected Matrix SalesCenter for its sales planning, budgeting, forecasting, strategic selling and general purpose customer relationship management (CRM) capabilities. Since 1992, Matrix Solutions has been the leader of innovative and proven sales management software to the media industry, and currently serves more than 10,000 customers at over 800 TV, radio, cable, newspaper, and interactive media outlets.
"The Telemundo sales organization transitioned to Matrix SalesCenter because we wanted a solution to help our sales managers and account executives stay on top of trends, build strong relationships with advertisers and agencies, and most importantly, gain and keep market share," said Andrew Barnet, Vice President of National Sales at Telemundo. "It's an incredible system; Matrix SalesCenter is a single, robust, integrated solution that works across our entire organization."
"We are excited Telemundo has implemented Matrix SalesCenter," said DJ Cavanaugh, CEO and Partner of Matrix Solutions. "For over 18 years, our company has provided media companies what no traffic, billing, spreadsheet or general purpose CRM system can - the answers to grow advertising sales. We look forward to providing the Telemundo sales team an enterprise-wide view of their organization's sales activities, forecast and budget information, sales analysis and reporting, with the added benefit of integrated customer relationship management."
Additionally, Matrix SalesCenter provides corporate management with a clear picture of sales history and account activity across the entire organization, no matter how many stations, outlets, website or other advertising mediums exist. This is accomplished through Matrix SalesCenter's unique ability to link similar accounts and analyze large volumes of data, often across multiple traffic systems.
