Act! v17 Commonly Overlooked Features
I had a great conversation with a new prospect the other day. He was using a fairly old version of Act! (Act! 2008) and knew he needed a change.
“Karen,” he lamented, “we might as well be using a Rolodex and a wall calendar. I know there is so much more that we could be doing.”
Steve, you are not alone! I hear the same comment time and time again, “Karen, I’m only using 10% of Act!’s...

I know first hand the benefits of CRM software. Unfortunately, I also know first...

So Write a Book Already
Hard as it is to believe, I’ve written over a dozen books on technology and created training videos on ACT! and Outlook. Trust me, writing is a labor of love. My “day job” is to help my clients utilize CRM software to make themselves – and their businesses – more efficient, effective and profitable.

Creating an Effective ACT EMarketing Plan
A couple of years ago, I sold my old house and bought a new one. The same realtor handled both transactions; her commissions made her a happy woman. Ironically, the first piece of US mail I received in my new home was a postcard addressed to “Current Resident” asking me if I’d like to sell my home.

My older brother and sister spent the week using that slide but alas, I was too scared to try it. I remember climbing to the top of the ladder and then climbing back down again because I was too frightened to” take the plunge.” Finally,...
