SALESLOGIX' PAT SULLIVAN NAMED ONE OF 10 MOST INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE IN CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT

Sullivan recognized by Sales & Marketing Automation Magazine as one of the Leaders Who Built The Customer Connection Business; Third Major Award in Recent Months for Visionary "Sales Guy"

SCOTTSDALE, AZ, December 3, 1999 – SalesLogix Corporation (NASDAQ: SLGX), a leading provider of front office and e-commerce software, today announced that Pat Sullivan, President and CEO, has been named one of the 10 Most Influential People in Customer Relationship Management by Sales & Marketing Automation magazine.

Widely viewed as a pioneer and visionary in the sales automation industry, Sullivan earlier this year won Ernst & Young's prestigious Young Entrepreneur of the Year award for the second time in his career. Additionally, he was recognized in 1998 as one of Sales and Marketing Management 80 Most Influential People in Sales and Marketing History.

Noting that Sullivan "gets the credit for inventing—or certainly popularizing—contact management software," Sales & Marketing Automation recounts how Sullivan's Contact Software International product, ACT!, rose to preeminence as salespeople's favorite contact management software. After selling ACT! to Symantec, Sullivan went on to form SalesLogix. SalesLogix has since become the fastest growing front office and e-commerce company with over 1800 customers and 276 business partners worldwide.

"Recognition like this really is a tribute to the people who have worked with me to develop and market our products," Sullivan said. "We all share a common value – empathy and teamwork with our customers. We know how salespeople work and our overriding goal is to help them be more productive while making their lives easier. The same goes for our business partners. We've never lost sight of that and that's why SalesLogix is growing so quickly."
