SmartSales Announces Exercise of Warrants TORONTO, ONTARIO--SmartSales Inc. (CDNX:SA) announced today that Nigel Stokes, Chairman of the Board and a director of SmartSales, completed a transaction to exercise one million warrants at an exercise price of $.45 per share. The proceeds of the transaction, $450,000, will be used by the Company for general corporate purposes and specifically to fund two important initiatives. The first initiative is the acceleration of market development strategies for the Company's Outsmart suite of products. The second initiative that can now be expedited and fully funded is the final development of the Company's Outsmart product for the wireless hand held device marketplace. The proceeds from the exercise of the warrants will enable the Company to complete the development, on an accelerated basis, and the Company expects to have an Outsmart version for both wireless and connectable hand held devices ready for sale by the end of June 2000. At that time, the suite of Outsmart products will consist of a single user version; a small and medium sized enterprise version (the SME-Mail product); two separate large enterprise versions offering differing levels of functionality and complexity for users; and the hand held device version. The full range of Outsmart products recognizes user needs and follows the extension of Microsoft's Outlook through various platforms. "I have strong confidence in the SmartSales Management team and product vision," states Nigel Stokes. The ability of new Outsmart suite of products to service a large market ranging from small and medium enterprises to fortune 1000 is extremely exciting. The product strategy will allow customers to deploy the Outsmart product line on a full range of technology from hand held devices to enterprise servers. "That's why I invested," added Mr. Stokes. "The exercise of the warrants is a solid endorsement of the Company and its prospects," said Don Parker, President and CEO. "The most exciting part though, is our ability to now move forward and quickly complete the final development phase of Outsmart for the hand held marketplace. This will place Outsmart in an incredibly strong and strategically sound competitive position to meet the needs of many businesses seeking an effective, easy-to-use, easy-to-install sales force automation tool" added Mr. Parker.

SMARTSALES ANNOUNCES SALES AND INSTALLATIONS OF FIRST ENTERPRISE VERSIONS OF OUTSMART -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Toronto, March 23rd, 2000 ð SmartSales Inc. (CDNX:SA) announced today that the first installations of its Outsmart for Workgroups Enterprise application suite will commence the week of April 4, 2000. This application is the first of three enterprise versions of the Outsmart product line and represents the initial roll out of the enterprise versions. The Outsmart for Workgroups product targets the SME (small and medium sized enterprise) marketplace. This version is specifically designed to meet both the functional needs, and installation ease, required by typical small and medium sized businesses ranging in size of user communities from a few users to a hundred plus users. "The initial market response to our Outsmart product release has been very positive," said Don Parker, President and CEO. "We have taken orders from all over North America and will be installing these systems in the coming weeks. We have spoken to many prospects and when the majority of them ask for price quotes and potential installation dates, it becomes increasingly clear that we have a unique product offering that meets the needs of a significant number of businesses" added Mr. Parker. The Outsmart for Workgroups product is both easy-to-install and easy-to-use. "We specifically want to make the entire experience for clients committing to Outsmart an effortless one, from the time of initial investment through implementation and use" said Mr. Parker. Product functionality without ease of installation creates a cost burden and risk for many companies seeking customer relationship management, opportunity management and sales force automation applications. "We recognize that lengthy and complex implementation cycles that disrupt the sales function pose mission critical risks to businesses, no matter what size they are. Most installations of Outsmart for Workgroups can be completed in less than two days, and without the need for lengthy on-site support. This means the client is up and running, and earning a return on their investment within days of installation. This is the client experience that we believe will deliver value," added Mr. Parker.
