Last month, over 2,000 users accessed RepIQ's private beta. RepIQ's growth comes at a time when sales leaders are increasingly demanding more intelligent sales technology. Research by InsideSales.com correlates investments in sales acceleration technology with shorter sales cycles, higher close rates, and increased revenue.

RepIQ alleviates these challenges with a lead discovery database which includes data points on millions of companies and verified contact information for leads.

"The RepIQ team is solving a hard problem that almost all sales teams face. I'm excited to see them bring the product to market and expect to see major innovations in the coming years from this team." Eddie Leshin, HPA Member and RepIQ Board Member.

RepIQ processes nearly 2,300 data points per second, allowing users to pinpoint thousands of high-quality leads. Data is processed in near real-time so salespeople can leverage accurate insights to enrich their sales process.

That's why I'm passionate about using my experience to improve the sales process. The RepIQ platform is built to scale and becomes more intelligent as we add more users and data."
