HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

PROS^® PRO, the revenue and profit realization company, today announced it has attained "winner" status in the prestigious CRM Watchlist Award competition for the fourth consecutive year.

In evaluating the winning entries, Paul Greenberg, Managing Principal of The 56 Group, founder of the CRM Watchlist Award and author of CRM at the Speed of Light, observes each company over the course of an entire year. Participants must demonstrate their impact based on evaluations across 12 categories: corporate overview; financial overview; management; vision and mission; technology; customers; partnerships; marketing strategy; outreach; market impact; thought leadership; and culture.

"The CRM Watchlist is an impact award," said Greenberg. "It's an award that identifies the strength, mindshare, and market share a company has in the markets it addresses … what I am evaluating is the company as a whole and how well that company executed during the year by seeing the actual results and how well prepared it is to execute … the company has to be well-rounded – it has financial stability, solid management, excellent products and services, superb culture, and a strong partner ecosystem to help sustain its efforts. It has to have a clear vision and mission and also clear-cut strategies for outreach to get external forces – customers, analysts, journalists, prospects, influencers, etc. – engaged."
