“2021 has been a very exciting year at RFPIO. I am proud of what we’ve accomplished, and looking forward to even more excitement in the year to come as we continue to disrupt sales technology and advocate for improved collaboration in the modern workplace,” said Ganesh Shankar, CEO of RFPIO.
RFPIO has a strong vision for the future of sales technology and this recognition is another win in a year of big news for the organization. Among those wins, the acquisition of a strong competitor, RFP360, the industry’s only provider of software serving the complete RFP lifecycle. Earlier this year, RFPIO also launched LookUp, filling a major gap in how sales teams create, store, and use content.
To support its growth, RFPIO doubled its employee headcount to 228 in the midst of a global pandemic and saw strong growth in users, exceeding 200,000 users worldwide, tripling the figure from January 2020.
