Interview with ACT by Sage Executive Larry Ritter

Last week at Insights 2010 here in Denver Colorado I caught up with Larry Ritter for what turned out to be a lengthy discussion fielding questions from ACTasap.net subscribers and readers.

NOTE: If you cannot watch the whole thing, I totally get it. I’ve included start times for various questions so you can jump ahead to sections you have interest in (scroll down).

After the video has loaded, simply click and drag gray circle on player bar to the time you want and release.

Larry addressed some good ACT! database software questions, as we did our best to manage the live stream. If you did make the stream, my apologies for the audio issues you may have experienced, hopefully the audio in this replay will be better for you.

As always chime in using the comment boxes below the video.


Question #3 Rusty asks about voice recognition option to help load data faster? 13:33
Question #4 LIVE-STREAM Steve asked when will there be total Outlook support? 15:27
Question #5 Shane is curious about SMS mobile feature (including groups) for ACT! 17:48
Question #6 John, when will there be better integration with Mobile devices, and why is it taking so long? (reason might surprise you). International support? 20:00
Question #7 Kim, in the UK, why are so many hotfixes? Can you take more time to test the product so you deliver a better product out of the gate? 24:02
FYI: Information about joining the beta program. 27:14
Question #8 Janet and Jenny will there be a simple version of ACT!? If I don’t need all the whizz bang features. 27:40

ACT! 2010 Available for Purchase – What's New & How to Get it Free

act-2010-database-softwareIt’s true, another version of the ACT! database software is upon us. It seems like just a few months ago the ACT! 2009 Contact Management software released.  The truth is, Sage is backing up their talk of continually improving the product with action, by coming out with another release.  ACT! 2010 features and product input have come from their online community of users, some of whom have participated in the beta program.  I’m currently reviewing the product in detail, and wanted to give you the skinny on the latest release from Sage, and how you can get it for free when it ships in September.

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.

ACT! Software is 2009 the best version yet?

Is ACT! 2009 (v11) the best version Sage has released to date?  It’s still early, and customers will ultimately decide this, but if my own sales data is any indication, it could very well be.

At the current rate, sales revenue at www.ACTasap.net will out pace last year by 71%.  I find that interesting, especially in a down economy.  Small businesses are scrutinizing purchases more than ever (and rightfully so, especially with recent collapse of financial markets).

When asking customers for the #1 reason they decided to purchase the ACT! database software from me, getting in on the promo, and nabbing my 4 special bonuses here are some of the responses:
“Excellent value.” -Larry. Teaneck, NJ  USA

“Excellent website that has allowed me to read reviews and learn what I need to make a purchase decision. I have seen cheaper but I think that I can get more “value” buying from you. Thanks”
-Eric.  Logan, UT  USA

“I have enjoyed your webinars and other info for quite some time now and feel this is a good way to thank you.
-Matt.  Pine Lake, GA  USA
