Full Measure is a PC and Pocket PC based lead retrieval application, offered by certified distributors, that enables exhibitors to rank and categorize leads at tradeshows. When combined with AppExchange, Full Measure allows exhibitors to post their leads into Salesforce from the show floor. Built on the AppExchange on-demand platform, Full Measure for AppExchange is immediately available for test drive and deployment at http://www.salesforce.com/appexchange.
In addition, Full Measure for AppExchange provides a real-time ROI snapshot for marketing leaders that quantifies the economic value of their tradeshow presence automatically within Salesforce. Now marketing efforts can be tied back to actual revenue production.
