About Evan Sohn
I’ve been called a “veteran entrepreneur” and “visionary executive and expert” in industries as far and wide as Wi-Fi and Instant Messaging data security, business intelligence, customer relationship management (CRM), handheld development and mobile computing. I founded Salesconx in 2007 after conducting extensive evaluations on database networking systems – this is my 5th company. For me, finding the precise sales contact within an organization was a critical but challenging task, consuming copious time and vast amounts of money.
After consulting with peers and considering more than 14 million sales professionals in the U.S., I developed a Web portal brokering relationships between sales associates and buyers. Prior to founding Salesconx, I was a senior management and marketing executive. From 2003-2006, I acted as Chief Marketing Officer of Omnipod, the service provider of secure enterprise instant messaging, which was acquired by MessageLabs in 2005.
When I’m not starting new ventures, I’m a 40 year old father of 3 great kids. My success can only be accomplished with the support of an amazing wife (director of housewares at OXO International - the Good Grips people).

Brilliant idea!! Salesconx is the natural progression to being more smart about networking.
I live and work in Cape Town, South Africa as management consultant and entrepreneur. Saleconx will be a definite advantage to overworked and overstressed professionals and businesses that are looking for quality leads.
In SA, we’ve got chamber of commerce and networking interventions throughout, trying to connect people that can benefit from one another. It is such a old way of doing things.
I see that you are in early stages with Salesconx. Will you be interested in exploring opportunities in SA? We don’t have the volume numbers as with North America, but South Africa is the powerhouse within Africa and I think with bandwidth increasing day by day and mobile phone proliferation being high, there’s definitely scope.
Even cross national boundary lead generation between SA and USA is a possibility.
