DecisionLink Raises Investment to Advance the World's First Customer Value Management Platform


The powerful momentum of the DecisionLink ValueCloud®, the world's first customer value management (CVM) platform, continues on its trajectory and has now attracted new investment dollars. As more businesses adopt DecisionLink's ValueCloud®, the company has now completed a SAFE round of investment dollars. Accel led the round with participation from Joe Sexton, a former executive sales leader for CA, Mercury, McAfee and AppDynamics and existing DecisionLink investors. The investment dollars will be used to support sales, marketing and increased R & D efforts.

Jim Berryhill, CEO, and John Porter, CTO, Co-Founders for DecisionLink, will be at the upcoming Salesforce Dreamforce event taking place in San Francisco, November 19 ? 22. They will be demonstrating the DecisionLink ValueCloud® to customers, prospects, partners and the media.

"Positive outcomes happen when sellers produce 'business value assessments' for their prospects and customers," explained Jim Berryhill, CEO for DecisionLink. "Business value assessments create key metrics that elevate conversations all the way up to the executive suite and boardroom. Accordingly, leading companies invest significant resources to enable value conversations, but typically stall when they can't scale the practice and/or based on the absence of an application platform for value management. ValueCloud® is that platform and is being used by our customers including VMware, ServiceNow, DocuSign, CrowdStrike, PagerDuty, Marketo and more."

"Software that can speed up and streamline the enterprise selling cycle is more critical than ever," said Sameer Gandhi, Partner at Accel. "We look forward to partnering with DecisionLink as it builds out an important new category within B2B cloud software."

"ValueCloud® is a breakthrough technology. DocuSign sales professionals are able to create a compelling and personalized value hypothesis for any account in a matter of minutes," according to Ran Haimoff, Director of Strategic Sales Programs at DocuSign. "This is a core competency for high performance go to market. ValueCloud® is the logical evolution of any CRM, extending it from a system of record into a system that helps customers understand the value they can expect."

Leading industry analysts are also aligned with the significance of the previously unmet need for treating customer value as a strategic asset and implementing customer value management (CVM) as a strategic practice for gaining and retaining more customers.

According to Gartner, "To improve go-to-market effectiveness, technology business unit leaders should:
