The TAS Group, the world leader in intelligent sales methodology and sales performance automation, today announced that The TAS Group has been included in the list of "Cool Vendors in CRM Sales, 2013¹" by Gartner (News - Alert), Inc.

According to the Cool Vendors in CRM Sales 2013 report, the selected vendors offer "new technologies that improve sales performance and effectiveness. They use mobile, social, big data analytics and the cloud to help salespeople improve their selling skills and find new prospects."

• Discontinuous, or sporadic, classroom sales training is approaching a fast demise
• Sales technology applications that help salespeople use sales methodologies and automate sales process are showing great promise

"We are honored to be selected by Gartner as a 2013 Cool Vendor in CRM Sales," said Donal Daly, CEO of The TAS Group.
