Leading Business Social Network, SaleSpider, Launches Dynamic Business Center
Website Combines Practical Business Tools and Web 2.0 Technology to Derive Real Business Value from Social Networking

Toronto, Canada – May 12, 2008 – Sales Spider, the leading business social network, today launched Business Center, a feature set that provides members with access to a wide range of tools that small and medium businesses (SMBs) can leverage to create and expand their organizations. This announcement demonstrates SaleSpider’s commitment to building real value into the social networking experience by combining practical business tools and Web 2.0 technology.

According to a recent report by Forrester Research, social networking will be the biggest enterprise 2.0 priority by 2013, taking a large piece of an anticipated $4.6 billion pie. This is clear indication that social networking sites are the business tools of the future.

Other social networks have focused on being either social and entertainment destinations or recruiting networks, providing minimal (if any) business benefits to the user. Users are now taking a closer look at the time they spend on networking sites and are seeking tangible results that extend beyond recruiting new hires, researching and downloading new music, and communicating with friends.

“Social networks must add practical business value as a core offering to their users,” said Russell Rothstein, CEO and founder of Sales Spider. “While we’ll likely see Facebook, LinkedIn and others attempt to increase their feature sets to keep up with this forecasted trend, they will always be known for socializing and recruiting. SaleSpider was built from the ground up with one thing in mind: Business.”

Users are clearly responding to this approach. "SaleSpider has proven to be an indispensable resource for my business within just ninety days of joining. They have woven together a wonderful website of resources without leaving me dangling on a thread wondering how to navigate it. Within the first week of joining, several symbiotic business relationships were quickly spun. I can easily envision this becoming a silky strong net of revenue for years to come,” said SaleSpider member, David Colister.

The addition of Business Center builds on SaleSpider’s current offerings by providing users with direct access to tools and resources, such as business documents, templates, tax regulations, business financing articles and more. Users will be able to create and expand their business with the Business Center feature set, which includes:

• Business Directory - A free directory, searchable by product or services provided, that enables instant communication between buyers and sellers.

• Business Tools & Resources - A one-stop resource area for entrepreneurs and business owners with free tools to start and grow a business.

• Job Center - Allows members to post their resumes and have them reviewed by potential employers, while employers and recruiters can post jobs ads and search and connect with potential employees

SaleSpider’s user base is growing at over 100% per quarter and the company expects to dominate its market in 2008 as the only social network focused on delivering business benefits. If you would like to learn more about SaleSpider, please contact Julie Tangen at 831.454.8523 or Julie@kulesapr.com.

Business Development Cited as Number One Reason to Join Social Networks
SaleSpider Survey Shows Majority of Users Look to Business-Minded Networks to Advertise and Promote

Toronto, Canada – March 26, 2008 – Sales Spider, the leading small business social network, today announced the results of its survey about the needs of business social network users. The study, which polled members of popular networking websites, revealed a staggering 92 percent of users focus their social networking efforts on business-related activities.

The survey shows as social networking evolves beyond college kids and HR recruiters to include small business owners and entrepreneurs, the need for new levels of business-focused tools that address real world concerns rises dramatically.

"Users are taking a closer look at the time they spend on networking sites and want results that reach beyond connecting with friends, accessing new music or videos, and broadcasting personal activities," said SaleSpider CEO, Russell Rothstein. "Business-minded users are finding real, tangible value through their memberships with SaleSpider."

In the survey, respondents highlighted top uses and reasons for joining social networks. The overall takeaway being that a majority of users want to derive business value from their time spent on social networks, with the number one reason for using social networking being business development through company and product promotion, locating business opportunities, and networking with potential business contacts.

A summary of the key findings from the survey include:

• More than half of users spend at least an hour per day on social networking sites
• Only nine percent of social network users find any business value in time spent on Facebook or MySpace
• More than two-thirds of participants belong to more than one social network
• 82 percent find quantifiable returns on time spent on SaleSpider or other business-targeted social networks
• 77 percent said they would be interested in attending virtual business-related events offered through their social network
• An investment of additional time was promised by 83 percent of users for sites that deliver business development results

SaleSpider is a 'one stop shop' for contact-finding, business development, networking and partnering, posting and searching b2b classified ads, and access to tens of thousands of sales leads and government business opportunities.  Members can also view presentations, conduct online tradeshows and host live chats and webinars - all for free.

SaleSpider Launches New Interface for Powerful Business Networking
Company to Dominate Social Networking Market with Website for the Business-Minded

Toronto, Canada – March 3, 2008 – Sales Spider, the leading small business social network, launched a new visual user interface (UI) today. Based on the culmination of user feedback, the new UI boasts easy-to-use access to sales leads and classified ads through a unique model that combines social networking with powerful business tools. With a user base that is growing at over 100% per quarter, the company expects to dominate its market in 2008 as the only social network focused on delivering business benefits.

Other websites such as LinkedIn, MySpace and Facebook have grown in popularity over the past 24 months. In fact, statistics show that one in four people between the ages of 14 and 45 are affiliated with one or more social networking websites. The majority of these sites, however, serve more as directories that pertain to a particular interest and provide minimal (if any) business benefits to the user. Users are now taking a closer look at the time they spend on networking sites and are seeking tangible results that extend beyond recruiting new hires, researching and downloading new music, and communicating with friends.

"LinkedIn and Facebook are great social networks, but at the end of the day they don’t make you money," said SaleSpider CEO, Russell Rothstein. "Every HR recruiter knows that LinkedIn is a terrific website for posting and reviewing resumes. And for every teenager, Facebook is great. Small Business Owners and Entrepreneurs with a mind on doing business and significantly boosting sales go to SaleSpider."

SaleSpider is a 'one stop shop' for friend-finding, business development, networking and partnering, posting and searching b2b classified ads, and access to tens of thousands of sales leads and government business opportunities.  Members can also view presentations, conduct online tradeshows and host live chats and webinars. All for free.

The new UI improvements announced today include:

• Integrated dashboard-style user homepage, offering members at-a-glance information on their business network activities, outstanding requests, classified ads, sales leads and more
• Real-time "Make Money with SaleSpider" tracking of revenues generated through referrals and Google AdSense
• Easier access to members’ preferential business tools
• Enhanced accessibility and searching of sales leads – viewable by industry, location, and keyword

"SaleSpider’s new interface is more useful than ever," said Robert Blatt, Sales Manager at Acces Communications. "The dashboard allows for intrinsic access to my network of business contacts and sales leads, while promoting hands-on management of my classified ads. I highly recommend the new site for any professional looking to take their career to the next level."

SaleSpider is powered by a cutting-edge search algorithm code, 'Long Legs.' This uniquely perceptive spider relentlessly hunts the Web and wraps up thousands of sales leads, RFPs and RFQs worth billions of dollars for instant and free access by a daily-expanding membership. This robust and innovative search engine organizes data for effortless search by region, industry and keyword.

"The moment we launched SaleSpider our membership numbers skyrocketed. At that point we knew we had addressed a need that hadn’t previously been met. We consider ourselves pioneers in our space and take full responsibility for the shift in how people use (and think about) social networks today," said Rothstein.

A Tradeshow Shouldn’t Cost You money. A Tradeshow Should Make You Money.

Toronto, February 20, 2007 - 2 to 4 times a year, managers, CEOs and marketing executives have to make a decision as to whether they should attend or exhibit at an industry trade show. The question used to be whether you could afford not to attend while today the question is more likely can you afford to attend?

The challenges regarding traditional tradeshows are many. The primary issue is the return on investment. How do you judge the potential traffic? Just how much do you spend on pens or stress balls with your logo on them? Even more crucial is trying to discern how many of the attendees will actually be motivated and qualified customers. It’s another gamble which most executives would rather not have to roll the dice on.

What if you could attend a tradeshow attracting 15,000 to 20,000 motivated attendees daily without even leaving your desk? What if you could exhibit at a tradeshow where you could develop leads and close them on the spot? A tradeshow open 24/7 requiring no booth construction costs, no staffing, no setup or tear down and no travel. Say it’s free and then it’s a slam dunk.

And here’s the lay-up; social networking for business site, SaleSpider.com has launched a feature it’s calling “Networks”. The new service is designed to be a non-stop online tradeshow where everyone and every size of business can compete on a level playing field -- marketing their products or services online to thousands of motivated and qualified leads daily.

“We realized there was a real need and no one in the market was meeting it,” states CEO Russell Rothstein. “It really became a “no-brainer” when we partnered with Google AdSense in a ground-breaking program which allows us to share ad revenues with our Premium Network members.”

A tradeshow which doesn’t cost you money but, makes you money? Now that’s what anyone would call a “no-brainer”.
