ACT 2008 Software Recommendation Questions
Since announcing the ACT Software teleseminar last week, a few questions have come up, that I thought would be easiest to address here at the blog. Here goes:
QUESTION: You are an ACT Certified Consultant, right? How can you provide an unbiased review of ACT?
ANSWER: This is true, I am an ACT Certified Consultant, however I’m really interested in productivity gains, which lead to greater profits. If there is a tool that I feel can make me or my customer more productive, I’m going to recommend it. This is what I intend to provide on this call…how features might increase productivity
(in the right situation), and what you need to be aware of.
QUESTION: Is this a gimmick? Aren’t you just going to try and sell me the software on this call?
ANSWER: There is one thing I’ve learned in selling anything, whenever possible let there be no surprises for customers after they buy. If people decide to purchase the ACT Software, and I’ve done my job, it is because they have qualified themselves, not because of some crafty maneuvers on my part. I will, however, do my best to make a compelling offer. And who knows you might even win a copy of ACT 2008 in the raffle!
QUESTION: What if I already purchased the ACT 2008 software, and I prefer to buy from you?
ANSWER: I am flattered. However, I would prefer you to keep the software you have. Maybe I’m foolish, the bottom line is, if you like the product and the only reason you are returning it is because you found a better deal elsewhere AFTER, I think that is wrong. If you signed up to purchase from someone else, I think you should hold up your end of the deal (unless the product doesn’t deliver…).
