ACT! Contact List 3x more useful with this Addon

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.

Since the launch of ACT! 2009, I’ve had quite a few questions, so I though I would answer some of the more popular ones here, and hopefully dispel any confusion.  To be clear, there is reason for confusion, with the product names.  It is worth finding out what makes sense for you.  Please chime in below in the comments section if you need further clarification or questions answered.  For more information, you might check the ACT! 2009 Review Page at www.WhatsNewWithACT.com

Upgrading:
Q:
“I have ACT! version 5/2000 what will it cost me to upgrade to ACT! 2009 vs. someone who is upgrading from, say, ACT! 2006?” - Anonymous
A: The price is the same for you and everyone who wants the latest version.  There is one price for the upgrade, regardless of what you are upgrading from.  This makes is easier for everyone. Ready to buy?  Go here.
Tip: Many customers are using the current promotion to upgrade to Corporate Edition, because it now includes both ACT! for Windows, and ACT! for Web versions, at a very compelling price.
Q: “I’ve been an ACT user for years…After a couple of bad experiences installing later versions – including 10.0, I’d pretty much written off ACT.  But I haven’t found anything that suits be better, so I thought I’d look again.  What I was looking for from Sage was some acknowledgement of the problems over the past few years and a commitment to improve.  I didn’t get that, so I’m still suspicious.  Sage has blown their good graces with long-time customers.  Thoughts?” -Mike Pritchard Kirkland, WA (more…)

What we’ll cover on this call:
o Why Contact Management Reporting is Important for Your Business (advantages)
o How Reporting Allows You to Get a Leg up on the competition
o Jason’s product, and a very special offer
o Chance to win a $100 Visa Debit Card

To be truthful, this product has saved my clients thousands in customization work. I’d like to introduce you to Jason, so have a look at the video, and sign up for the webinar by filling in the registration form below.

iPhone 3G is it Worth the Upgrade?

Well, it’s here. The new iPhone. It seems Mr. Jobs and the folks at Apple have done it again. They’ve got many whipped up in a frenzy for this new device which is tagged as “Twice as Fast. Half the Price.” Clever marketing, and based on the video I watched from their World Wide Developers Conference a few weeks back, it certainly seems impressive, and I do think the upgrade is warranted on it’s own, beyond that third parties are making it even more compelling. Read on…

So what do you do if you are an ACT! software user and you want to sync your iPhone with your ACT! database? I have some good news, now you can sync your new iPhone with ACT!, wirelessly. Sounds to good to be true? (more…)
