Co-founded by Rajat Bhargava, Matthew Bellows and Cashman Andrus in 2010, Yesware is an email service that helps salespeople closes more business. Integrated into Gmail, it provides email tracking and analytics, customizable sales templates, CRM integration and more to help salespeople communicate with customers more effectively. CRM Syncing connects sales email to solutions from Salesforce.com, Microsoft Dynamics, and many others to save time and improve the quality of enterprise data. The company's Reports and Analytics give salespeople unique feedback about how their messages are being received.

Sales managers who deploy Yesware to their teams see activity-based reports that reveal a new level of performance detail without relying on additional data entry. Yesware's collaboration features enable salespeople and sales managers to share the most effective templates with their colleagues.

Our market momentum and new funding gives us the opportunity to demonstrate Yesware’s true potential – helping salespeople succeed around the world," says Matthew Bellows, Founder& CEO, Yesware.
