<p>It&#8217;s true, the ACT! 2009 software is officially available to the public.  It provides a host of new functions focused on making it easier for users to navigate through the application.</p>
<p>I will be hosting a live-webinar Thursday August 14th, 2008 at 3pm EST* and will be reviewing the features and functions of the program, and will have Dave van Toor as my guest.  Dave is the VP and GM of Sage CRM North America.  If you&#8217;ve been on this blog before you might remember <a href="http://actblogger.com/2008/06/19/sage-software-crm-leadership-video-interview/" target="_blank">the interview I held with Dave</a> back in May.  I will also be making a special offer to those who want to lock in the upgrade for the <a href="http://www.actasap.net/buyact" target="_blank">ACT! 2009 software</a>.</p>
<p>If you want in on this webinar, with a chance to ask your questions, simply fill out the form below, and I&#8217;ll send you all the details.</p>

<p>Just got an email from a friend letting me know that  <a href="http://www.crmbuyer.com/story/New-CEOs-Sage-Advice-Listen-63071.html" target="_blank">CRM Buyer</a> referenced this blog in a commentary on Sage Executive leadership, even quoting many of your comments here on the blog.  Be sure to <a href="http://www.crmbuyer.com/story/New-CEOs-Sage-Advice-Listen-63071.html" target="_blank">check it out, is your name here?</a><br />
<!--adsense--><br />
Stay tuned for  the video soon.  BTW, the interview seemed to go well, I&#8217;m no Barbara Walters (as if you didn&#8217;t already know that&#8230;), but I&#8217;m encouraged there is some great content there.  Unfortunately, I won&#8217;t be able to show the whole thing on the blog&#8230;it is just too long&#8230;(it over 3o minutes long).</p>
<p>Speak soon.</p>

As per the video, the comments on <a href="http://actblogger.com/2008/05/08/insights2008/" target="_blank">last weeks blog post</a> were numerous&#8230;and very educational.   I&#8217;ve summarized them but want to make sure I&#8217;m not missing anything.</p>
<p>Obviously I cannot discuss all the questions that came in, some of which I&#8217;ve already answered, so I plan to have a conversation in categories of interest derived from<br />
the <a href="http://actblogger.com/2008/05/08/insights2008/" target="_blank">post comments</a>.</p>
<p>So if there is anything missing from these items.  Please post your questions in the comments section below.</p>
<p><strong>Discussion Points:</strong><br />
<strong>&gt;</strong> User Interface Items (Calendar, and Sync)<br />
<strong>&gt; </strong>Handheld Sync<br />
<strong>&gt; </strong>Email (Outlook and ACT! Email)<br />
<strong>&gt;</strong> Web 2.0 and Social Networking<br />
<strong>&gt; </strong>Poor Market Perception<br />
<strong>&gt; </strong>Integration (accounting, faxing, exchange)</p>
<p>Am I missing anything?  The way for you to be heard, and for me to make the most of my time with Sage Executives, is to submit your comments and questions below&#8230;do it now as time is running out (interview should happen in the next day or so).</p>
<p>Also, if you haven&#8217;t done so, feel free to subscribe to the RSS feed of this blog, but clicking the subscribe buttons to the right.</p>
<p>Speak soon,<br />
Travis</p>

It is coming.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s that?</p>
<p>Options.  Decisions.  And potential CONFUSION.</p>
<p>The 2008 version of the ACT software is coming, and because they are &#8220;celebrating 20 years&#8221;, it may be the most significant release in some time.<br />
<!--adsense--><br />
With all the fan fare comes confusion, and CONFUSION=HEADACHES.</p>
<p>WARNING: Many have already purchased the product at pre-release without reading the fine print.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s why on July 11th at 4pm EST, I&#8217;m hosting a no frills review teleseminar to diffuse the confusion surrounding ACT 2008.  I&#8217;ve been working with the software since May, and want to share the following:</p>
<p><span id="more-99"></span>1.) The new features in action (videos)<br />
2.) Diffuse the confusion, what everyone should know before purchasing.<br />
3.) SUBSCRIBERS ONLY special offer for those on the call who want to get this new version (see PS below)<br />
4.) Special raffle for a copy of the new software ($399 value), which I&#8217;ll mail when I get it in September.</p>
<p>MY CONCERN:  Subscribers have begun registering BEFORE this announcement. Even though I locked in twice as many phone lines, as I write, there are only 185 spots left.  So you must claim your spot and register for the LIVE call ASAP.<br />
<!--adsense--><br />
REGISTER NOW:<br />
<a href="http://www.WhatsNewWithACT.com" target="_blank">http://www.WhatsNewWithACT.com</a>  &lt;&lt;&#8212; C L I C K</p>
<p>Looking forward to the call.</p>
<p>Speak then,<br />
Travis Campbell</p>
<p>PS: I cannot reveal the SUBSCRIBERS ONLY special offer, as I am still in negotiations, whatever the outcome, I think you&#8217;ll like it.</p>
