Sage Insights Conference, ACT Software User Questions for Sage Executives


During my time at Sage Insights, this time in Washington DC, I always have the pleasure of sitting down with Executives who are directly responsible for the ACT Database Software.

But this time, I’m taking you with me, well….sorta.

I have some questions for them about the product, future direction, and a bunch of things that affect not only my business, but the businesses of the many subscribers, customers, and clients I support.

As a subscriber through my ACT! Software Review site, or one who has retained me as your ACT! Certified Consultant, or simply a visitor to this blog, I would like to invite you to submit your questions below.

It doesn’t matter if you are a single user, or 5, 10, 15, 25, or 100+ user environment. Scroll down and submit your questions now so I can get you in the door. And perhaps I’ll get to ask one of your questions while I’m in DC.

Regards,
Travis

Michael Gerber, E-Myth author says "You don't need an expert…"

Disclaimer: This was written with business owners in mind, I talk about ACT! later in this post…

In my quest to know if I had what it took to start and run my own business, one man told me he read a book that totally changed the way he ran his floor cleaning business. E-Myth by Michael Gerber…

After reading it years later, I fought some of the concepts he presented, but eventually realized I was operating as a ‘technician’. If you have read the book, you know what I mean. I began to thoroughly document all my key internal processes (which I later converted to videos, surprise surprise), and hired someone to do what I find mundane and inefficient.
