Sage Insights 2008, More Info for ACT! Users Coming…

Back from the conference, and am working to get caught up with customers before editing and posting the video.

It sounds seems that the blog posts have created some interest, thanks to many of you subscribers and readers.

Just got an email from a friend letting me know that CRM Buyer referenced this blog in a commentary on Sage Executive leadership, even quoting many of your comments here on the blog. Be sure to check it out, is your name here?

Stay tuned for the video soon. BTW, the interview seemed to go well, I’m no Barbara Walters (as if you didn’t already know that…), but I’m encouraged there is some great content there. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to show the whole thing on the blog…it is just too long…(it over 3o minutes long).

Speak soon.

Update: Sage Insights Conference, ACT Software User Questions for Sage Executives


As per the video, the comments on last weeks blog post were numerous…and very educational. I’ve summarized them but want to make sure I’m not missing anything.

Obviously I cannot discuss all the questions that came in, some of which I’ve already answered, so I plan to have a conversation in categories of interest derived from
the post comments.

So if there is anything missing from these items. Please post your questions in the comments section below.

Discussion Points:
> User Interface Items (Calendar, and Sync)
> Handheld Sync
> Email (Outlook and ACT! Email)
> Web 2.0 and Social Networking
> Poor Market Perception
> Integration (accounting, faxing, exchange)

Am I missing anything? The way for you to be heard, and for me to make the most of my time with Sage Executives, is to submit your comments and questions below…do it now as time is running out (interview should happen in the next day or so).

Also, if you haven’t done so, feel free to subscribe to the RSS feed of this blog, but clicking the subscribe buttons to the right.

Speak soon,
Travis

IRS Tax Day ACT! Software Special…I got a big Tax bill

2007 was my first full year back in the state of Ohio (BTW, we love it here!).  I grew up here and pretty much knew what to expect.  At least, until I heard from my CPA. Ehem…

Turns out, as a result of a record breaking 2007, I owe the state of Ohio *bigtime* (Federal wasn’t so bad, go figure…).  I sat down with this unexpected tax bill, knowing I had to come up with a plan…

So, I’m working on putting the final touches on my *Tax Day 2008 Special*.

If you have been putting off upgrading to ACT! 2008, well this is a deal you’ll want to check out.  I can’t share all the details (because I’m still finalizing them), but it is similar to a package I put together a while back which sold out in 13 minutes…

I’m going to include a special bonus package for anyone purchasing ACT! 2008 on my site.  BUT don’t buy it today!  This special will start tomorrow, and available to any who purchase only within a 24 hour period.  I will post a video update tomorrow with all the details.

What about you, have you ever received an unexpected tax bill…this year, or ever?  Feel free to share your experience below.

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.

I finally had the opportunity to meet Michael just last week, and he said many things which resonated so poiniently with me…let me share one here… (more…)
