The contact list in ACT! is great, it allows you to see all your contacts, or a lookup of contacts in a spreadsheet like format, nice. You can even pair down the lookup with ‘tag mode.’ If you really want to take the contact list to the next level you need to check this out.
I recently had a call with my friend Jim Durkin. He has a product called Contact List Plus, and it turns the contact list on it’s head! I recorded the call, and have posted a portion of it here for you to review. It actually ended up being a full fledged training session on Contact List Plus.
I’m making the entire training available for $47 here. Great for folks who already own it, but not brushed up on all it’s features (there are some great use cases in this video). However, if you don’t yet own the software, I’m including the training for FREE for new customers only who buy through this link http://www.ACTasap.net/clp.
So checkout the video below, I’ve included both in Hi-Resolution (for broadband connections), and Normal Resolution…

Ibe been using CLP through several versions now. It’s made my contacts SOmuch easier to work with. I love all the color coding which allows me at a glance to see where im missing informaion or other particular info im looking for. different lookups are available at a single click of the mouse. Inline editing makes changing or adding contact info a breeze without having to leave the list format. lots of handy features.
I’m running several of Durkin Computing’s products and am very satisfied with all of them.

Glad you are enjoying it, and have been using it for some time. The color coding with custom color rules, saves a lot of time for many folks, as well as the single click lookup (rules).
Jim makes some great products (hint: stay tuned here on the blog

I have a question about layout design using VISTA & Act 2008. Is this the place to ask and is there a charge?
GG
The client we sold CLP to recently loves it and uses it daily.
George-
You can ask. I cannot guarantee a super timely response, but I’ll do my best (and others might chime in).
One thing I would say off the bat, the layout designer is finicky to say the least!
HELP! I’m interested in finding out if we can purchase 2-5 licenses for an older / less expensive version of ACT! for which I have experience with. Ours is a very small & growing company, so $$$ is an issue. And, is it possible to renew / update an old V3 license we had back in 2002? Any help / advice will be greatly appreciated.
Jim-
I apologize for not responding to your comment sooner. You might check out this months promotion for the recently released ACT! 2010. You can find it at http://www.actasap.net/buyact (25% savings + customer only bonuses).
Hope that helps.
