Mindjet, the leading provider of software and Web-based applications for visually organizing and managing information and ideas, announced widespread adoption of Mindjet Deal Navigator by leading sales organizations including Salesforce.com (News - Alert).

Mindjet recently delivered version 1.1 of the native Force.com application, which helps sales teams dramatically improve the efficiency of their account management efforts, including planning, strategy, and review phases. Mindjet (News - Alert) Deal Navigator is now used by more than 250 enterprise sales representatives within Salesforce, and at leading organizations around the globe including Corticon and Aravo.

"With Mindjet Deal Navigator, we are addressing a major business challenge -- leveraging existing assets and providing a single environment, that professionals can use to unify and organize diverse information," said Scott Raskin, CEO of Mindjet, in a statement. "We're excited by early adoption of the product and the results customers are seeing surrounding planning, development, and creativity."

Mindjet Deal Navigator provides a simple, one-click solution to a common sales management problem, organizing and displaying the information necessary to evaluate deal status, identify potential issues, and agree on next steps without wasting time on presentation creation and data duplication.

Mindjet customers are pleased with the deal navigator software. Mark Allen, CEO of Corticon, said: "Mindjet Deal Navigator is a simple and powerful way to understand the people involved in your deals, their reporting structures and their disposition. Mindjet Deal Navigator helps everyone involved in the deal understand the organizational dynamics far more quickly and focus their attention on the key people needed to win the deal. This is a must-have app for anyone doing enterprise selling."

Elay Cohen, vice president of global sales productivity at Salesforce.com, commented: "Millions of professionals in more than 72,000 companies worldwide rely daily on our sales and customer relationship management solutions to drive their business. Mindjet Deal Navigator provides users with an added visual representation of key account information, enabling them to further unlock the power of Salesforce.com solutions and turn valuable knowledge into sales."

Mindjet Deal Navigator takes contact data stored in the user's Salesforce.com account and automatically creates a visual organization chart that shows reporting hierarchy and can be easily annotated to illustrate key information about each account. Mindjet Deal Navigator enables sales teams to instantly see the decision makers and influencers for each opportunity and visually identify contact roles, such as champion and evaluator, as well as indicate a contact's disposition toward the deal using preference flags and icons.

Mindjet Deal Navigator now also includes tag (News - Alert) functionality, enabling professionals to better account for large quantities of contacts, quickly understand reporting structures, and account for key contacts that have left an organization. By using the tag feature, sales representatives can now easily search for specific contacts or groups of contacts by specific criteria and then tag only the ones that they want to appear in the organization chart while all other contacts are removed from view.

The company recently reached a significant corporate milestone in having more than 1.5 million paying users of its leading visual information mapping software, MindManager.
