8 Reasons To Select ACT! Software as Your Contact Management Software for Customer Database Management, Sales Tracking and Marketing Automation

1. ACT! has more users than any other contact management software–more than 2.5 million users worldwide. Do the math: The economics are in favor of spreading development costs over a larger user base. With a small user base, the revenue’s just not there to support your use of contact management software. Always ask what kind of after-the-sale support you’ll receive. The Database Diva offers 3 levels of support.

2. Four Kinds of Technical Support. It’s hard to provide full-time, dependable support when you have a small user base. You won’t have that problem with ACT Software. Chances are 3 out of 10 businesses you know are already ACT users. With other contact managers you may be frustrated that it takes so long for a technician to call you back (or his answer might be, “Sorry, can’t do that”). He’s probably busy helping your competitor. ACT! Software, on the other hand, has so many users, it’s spawned a entire industry of ACT! experts, so you can get help instantly. And most experts are right in your same area code! The Database Diva offers phone support, webinar training, classroom training and local ACT! User Group meetings.

3. ACT! Software Is Inexpensive. If you’re looking at other database management software, find out what’s included and what requires add-on modules. If you pay for software as a service, by the month and per user, you’ll never be done paying. You even pay a premium when you don’t need premium service. ACT! Software has a “software as service” option. But you pay only once for the software, and then you own it until you decide to upgrade. Data management, schedule management, remote-user synchronization and sales and marketing are all integrated features. No add-ons required.

4. ACT! Software Is Easy To Use. Do you think CRM software has to be complicated? Studies show most companies use less than 20% of their contact management’s firepower. Why pay for features you won’t use? Ask us how long it takes to train a new user on ACT! With ACT! Software, users “get it” after a single training session. (But we guarantee our training for 60 days!)

5. Marketing Integration. ACT! Software integrates directly with Outlook, Word and Excel. Just released: A marketing automation tool to schedule drip marketing letters, phone calls, faxes and emails. This is the first time small to mid-sized companies can use a single marketing automation tool for marketing AND sales management without breaking the bank.

6. Extensive Business Intelligence Reporting. Most industry software is written for accounting or inventory management. Customer management is typically an afterthought. ACT! Software tracks marketing trends, sales forecasts, customer behavior, sales rep performance and advertising results all from a one-world view dashboard. Reports are easily printed, too.

7. Inexpensive To Customize. The reality is, your business is unique. How much must you pay a CRM consultant to tweak your industry software? Is it even possible to do what you want? With ACT! Software, anything can be customized, and we can train you to do it, saving thousands of consulting dollars. But if you want to hire a consultant, our fees are reasonable and we work quickly. ACT! Software’s customization toolbox makes customization of your database fluid.
