Today, DemandGen Report announced the list of companies recognized in the 2012 Sales And Marketing Integration Award Report. ReadyTalk is honored to make the list. 

This year, the marketing team at ReadyTalk has spent a lot of time and energy focsuing on sales enablement, developing and implementing tools and tactics to help marketing empower the sales force to maximize prospect touch points and close deals.  Mike McKinnon has blogged about some of the programs he's put in place and the report hits on the fact that all of the tools implemented are integrated with salesforce.com and Eloqua to ensure streamlined marketing and sales processes.
