Steven G. Mihaylo, Chief Executive Officer of Crexendo, stated, "Our business continues to be effected by improvements to our sales channel. I am pleased with the advances we made this quarter. We are starting to see improvements in our sales process and sales efforts specifically in our network services division. Our hosted telecommunications offering continues to show growth, with a 124% increase in revenue in the second quarter compared to the first quarter of 2012. Although we have not made as many hires as I would like, we are starting to see progress in our hiring process. We have seen improved success with our recent new hires and believe we will have improved retention rates going forward. As of today we have 29 direct sales representatives selling both our web services and our hosted telecommunications offerings, which is an increase of 5 from the prior quarter. We are building sales momentum and expect continued improvements.

"I continue to be impressed with how our products and services continue to improve and develop. We are continuing to improve our lead generation process. We rolled out our University Program curriculum, and it has been excitedly embraced in our first classroom setting. We expect to have our University Program offerings in four universities by year end. We anticipate that by the end of 2013 to have the program offered at a far greater number of universities. We believe the University Program will provide increased lead flow, improved market acceptance and brand recognition of our products. On other fronts we continue to reduce costs and improve efficiencies. I am absolutely convinced we are focused on the right market segment and know our products and services are competitive in the marketplace. Our primary job and focus is to grow and develop the efficiencies of our sales teams, and I am confident with the changes we have made that we will be able to attract and retain quality sales representatives to sell our products. We are guided by the core principle of providing the best products and services to our customers and increase shareholder value."

Doug Gaylor, COO and President, stated, "I am very proud of the commitment and caliber of our employees. The team is working together toward a common goal of providing world-class products and services. Some of the changes we have made to our sales process are beginning to take hold. I am impressed with the quality of our recent hires, and I am also very pleased with the changes we have made to our training program which I believe increases the likelihood of our sales representatives being successful. Our lead generation process is also getting better; we have made improvements to our process and recently hired a director to manage lead generation. We will be concentrating our lead process efforts on a number of sources including trade shows, speaking engagements, associations and organizations, webinars, drip campaigns and the University Program. I am very excited about our progress and our future."
