ACCUCOMS announces first signing for US sales representation

ACCUCOMS BV, a leading provider of sales and marketing services to scholarly
and society publishers, today announced its first signing for US sales
representation, just a few weeks after the launch of the service at the
October Frankfurt Book Fair.

Future Science Group has appointed ACCUCOMS to provide locally-based sales
representation in North America. The service includes researching leads,
visiting potential customers, giving demonstrations, arranging trial access
and negotiating site license access for individual institutions, large
corporations, multi-nationals and consortia.

"We are excited about the potential that our partnership with ACCUCOMS
offers," said Stephen Galt, Sales Manager at Future Science Group. "The US
is the largest single market on the planet.  As an STM publisher it seemed
very limiting not to have a resource based in North America. ACCUCOMS have
been able to offer us an affordable way to enhance our presence in the US,
but also to gain direct feedback from this important market, so we can
better understand our customers and their needs."

Since launching their US and European-based sales representation service,
ACCUCOMS have been pleased with the level of interest that it has attracted.
"There is clearly a need for publishers to be able to tap into the sales
support we can offer," commented Egon Menardi.  "We¹ve been inundated with
enquires since we launched the service and are delighted to be moving
forward so quickly with Future Science Group."

Future Science Group was looking for a particular kind of approach from a
sales representation service. "The difference that ACCUCOMS offer is that
they understand that real sales success is not built on one-off
transactions, but on developing lasting relationships ­ which is as much
about listening and responding to our customers as well as selling to them,"
said Stephen Galt. "This is what keeps us ahead as a business, and why we
chose ACCUCOMS to provide this service."
