Award-winning contact management to help you track your
contacts, sales management, schedules and events.
Contact Plus Professional will organize
your daily business activities easier than ever before and save
you time doing it. And by being organized you can establish
better relationships with your customers and prospects.
If you're on a network, Contact
Plus Professional allows you to share your data with
others on your network without expensive server add-on
software required.
Contact Management
With Contact Plus Professional you can keep
track of customers in one database and prospects in
another. In addition to the general contact information,
you can define your own data fields. Keep unlimited free
from notes about conversations you have with contacts.
Then send letters, e-mail, and schedule and track future
events for follow up. Plus Contact Plus Professional
provides alarms for upcoming events so you don't let
anything slip through the cracks.
With Contact Plus Professional you can create
groupings of contacts based upon your criteria. Want to
see a list of all contacts who've done business with you
in the past week? How about a list of contacts that
haven't done business with you in the last month? Whether
you have 10 contacts or 10,000 contacts, you can work
with just those contacts you want to use. Send them all a
letter, transfer them to a new database, or check for
duplicates between databases.
Contact Plus Professional automatically creates
a complete history of your interaction with each contact.
Detailed information about the phone calls, email sent,
letters sent or notes taken are all instantly available.
Using this information you can make better decisions
about what the next step should be. When used on a
multi-user system, each activity is stamped with the User
ID of who completed it. What is more important than the
past history with a client?
Internet Functions
If you travel extensively, use the add on
synchronization module Smart Merge to stay in touch with
the office. And use the compute distance function to view
contacts geographically closest to you. If you're out on
the road and have some extra time on your hands you can
schedule new appointments quickly by creating a filter to
see a list of contacts within 50 miles of your
location.
With your internet browser, connect to the
Internet for a personalized street map of your contact's
location, see his latest stock value, or check the
current weather in his city. Virtually any Internet web
site which displays information from input prompts like a
zip code or street address is a possible site for getting
information from the web on your contact. The
possibilities are unlimited.
Written Communication
Creating professional written correspondence
couldn't be easier. Use the built in word processor or
Microsoft Word or Corel WordPerfect to create
personalized, impressive letters. Use templates to design
just the right kind of letter for the situation, whether
sales, or contracts. If you're sending just a few letters
or a mass mailing campaign, each letter is just as
personalized as you want. Insert any contact information
automatically into the letter and you can use graphics
too! Have some documents you already use? No problem.
Just add the fields for Contact Plus, and use them
without retyping anything!
If you use more email than letters, Contact
Plus Professional handles that too. Use email templates
to send broadcast emails to contacts regularly. Send out
reminder notices, expiration notices for contracts, and
more.
If you've got a specialized mailing list you've
purchased from a list broker of 5,000 contacts that are
interested in your products with Contact Plus this list
is easily imported into a database. Use any type of
standard electronic database file (ASCII, dBASE,
Paradox). There's no special requirement for the order of
information; you choose what information is imported into
what field. Plus you can save the order of information if
you're bringing in contacts from the same source on a
regular basis. This point-and-shoot process makes Contact
Plus even more flexible in managing the amount of
information bombarding you and your business every
day.
Outlook - PDA Synchronization
Do you need to have your contacts and calendar
on your Palm Pilot, Handspring or Pocket PC? With the
Outlook interface you can take your contacts out on the
road with you as well as your calendar. Update your
calendar and contact information on your PDA and they
will be updated in Contact Plus. No need to call into the
office for a phone number while you're out on the
road.
Time Management
Need a quick look at your daily calendar?
Contact Plus displays all your events in one easy -to-
understand calendar. Gotten behind in your day? No
problem. With convenient drag-and-drop rescheduling you
can update your appointments as the day goes on. Plus you
can print out the events and appointments for the day and
take it with you. You can even look at your coworker's
calendars to make sure you've got their latest schedule
for collaboration.
Interoffice Communication
When used by coworkers on a network, Contact
Plus Professional makes sharing data and ideas with your
coworkers easy. Simultaneous database access gives you
the information you need when you need it -- as well as
when your co workers need it. In a hectic office
environment, it's important to get the right information
to the right person. The Interoffice Mail option sends
mail to your coworkers over the network. You can respond
and keep the original message intact. Or if someone calls
for you while you're away, the While You Were Gone phone
message function takes care of that. Take messages for
any user on the network and attach the message to a
contact record. These messages can be seen immediately
when the user returns if they're away for lunch. While
the person taking the message is on the phone they can
quickly see when you'll be returning with the In/Out
Board. There's even broadcast messaging, to send urgent
messages immediately to everyone logged in. And finally
you can regulate scheduling of the conference room for
your important meetings.
The optional Smart
Merge program lets you synchronize information with
remote users out in the field. Just think of the
possibilities.
Global Operations
The best part about Contact Plus is that if you
decide later that you want to mass update your contacts,
Contact Plus Database Utilities can perform dozens of
global update functions quickly and easily. Tasks such as
replacing area codes with new ones, clearing, copying,
searching and replacing data, swapping user fields, or
subtracting or adding days to date fields is performed
quickly and easily. Plus it's done in one simple
process.
