Over it’s 20+ years of existence, ACT! has not made major user interface changes very often. From time to time they do make changes and make it easier for users to get started or navigate the program. ACT! 2010 has more changes than any version since ACT! 2005. (more…)

ACT! by Sage 2010 Has a New Modern Look and Feel
ACT! 2010 Available for Purchase – What's New & How to Get it Free
It’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. (more…)
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.

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…)
