Gibsonia, PA and Hinsdale, IL (PRWEB) - September 14, 2004 - Aiming to provide their customers and prospects with a business edge, Plexi Hosting, a provider of hosting and web technology services at affordable prices, today announced a strategic alliance featuring DirectLandings, a hosted sales lead development tool from Encephalo Associates.

Plexi Hosting plans to use DirectLandings-Personal Version^TM in its own customer development efforts, and sees this as a compelling demonstration of what the system can do. Plexi Hosting believes that once prospective customers experience DirectLandings, they’ll be able to see how it could work for their own business. Pricing is also a draw at just $15 per month.

DirectLandings is an email-to-web system for building customer relationships throughout long or complex sales cycles. Email recipients initially receive a message with a link that encourages click-through to a website landing page. What distinguishes DirectLandings as a lead development tool is the level of personalization, branding, and subtle sales messaging that can be built into the process at each step along the way. Users also like the email Alerts whenever prospects visit their landing page, and the way the system gets around restrictions on the size of email attachments. No technical training is needed by users; everything is handled through a control panel.

Plexi Hosting sees DirectLandings as a method to cultivate relationships and eventually close a higher proportion of sales. "When we first started using DirectLandings, we were taken by the personal note that greeted us when we landed at the web page," explained Peter J. Toriello, a partner in Plexi Hosting. "Because the web landing page was specially selected to meet our needs, we were interested in what we saw. We could even click on additional resources, selected especially for us, that were discretely added to the screen display by the system."

"This alliance with Plexi Hosting opens a pathway to work with people dedicated to great service at a great price. They offer web hosting expertise and a lot more," observed Allen L. Armstrong, DirectLandings developer and principal at Encephalo Associates. "What’s won us over is the range and commitment of Plexi Hosting’s staff, and their enthusiasm to introduce DirectLandings to their prospects and customers. We feel this is a terrific opportunity to support small-to-medium enterprises with personal, professional hosting services and tools, comparable to those used in organizations with deeper pockets."
