San Mateo, CA, April 21, 2020 — Full Circle Insights®, Inc., maker of comprehensive sales and marketing performance measurement solutions, today announced that the company was granted U.S. Patent 10,599,620 entitled “Method and System for Object Synchronization in CRM Systems.” Invented by the Full Circle founders, the patented technology powers Full Circle funnel metrics capabilities inside CRM systems, fueling increases in marketing efficiency realized by Full Circle customers.
“As a former marketing VP at B2B companies, finding a way to measure marketing inside the CRM system and use that information to allocate more efficient spend was a holy grail,” said Full Circle Insights President and CEO Bonnie Crater. “It didn’t exist, so Full Circle had to invent it, and now marketers have that unique and powerful capability. Our customers improve marketing efficiency by shifting budget to programs that perform better and using the funnel metrics and attribution information to optimize their marketing processes.”
The co-founders of Full Circle are the inventors on the patent: Dan Appleman, Roan Bear, Bonnie Crater, and Andrea Wildt. The company applied for the patent in 2012, staking its claim to complex code developed by Full Circle co-founder and CTO Dan Appleman. The code elegantly solves a persistent problem for marketers: how to track and synchronize objects within a CRM system. Objects in a CRM system might include leads, contacts, opportunities and accounts, and without a way to synchronize them into a response object, it wasn’t possible to measure a sales and marketing funnel without guesswork.
