Business Software, Inc. Offers Help to Laid-Off Solyndra Employees


SAN CARLOS, Calif. --(Business Wire)--

Business Software, Inc. announced it is offering the newest version of its SoftSell® Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software free to the first one hundred people who can provide verification that they were Solyndra employees. Business Software, Inc. hopes that this announcement will jump start other offers including those from social networking companies that might link up the laid off employees and coordinate assistance.

People looking for employement are "salespeople" because they are selling their expertise and experience to "customers" who will be their next employer. SoftSell helps in this sales process by tracking important details related to each prospective employer. This information includes next steps, notes, websites, past conversations, documents and links to Facebook (News - Alert) and LinkedIn.

According to Curtis Panasuk, President and CEO of Business Software, Inc., "This offer was a easy decision because I was laid off early in my career and I know how it feels. Also, our employee motto is 'do the right thing', so this effort is consistent with our company values. We have been working around the clock to finish this new version of SoftSell and make it available to the laid-off Solyndra employee. Our Google (News - Alert) advertising program has been suspended so that we can clear the decks and make this offer our number one priority."

"Sales is all about problem solving and being an agent for positive change. We believe everyone is a salesperson -- to their family, friends, business associates and customers. Our mission is to bring CRM software to 'the rest of us' and give everyone a chance to be the best salesperson possible. While Marc Benioff (News - Alert) at Salesforce.com is targeting the corporate salesperson (where the cloud counts), we are targeting everyone else which begins with self-employed persons and sales professionals working at home or in small offices."

About Solyndra Offer


SoftSell is being offered free to the first one hundred former Solyndra employees who email their postal address, and a copy of their employment verification such as an employee badge, offer letter or termination letter to [email protected].

Business Software, Inc. will mail (via Priority Mail) a CD-ROM disk that contains SoftSell, and a second disk that contains the complete step-by-step User's Guide.

Business Software, Inc. does not have any current openings for new employees. However, they are accepting resumes from former Solyndra employees at [email protected], and will give them first priority for any future positions that match their expertise.
