MAKE
THE MOST OF YOUR TIME. MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR
OPPORTUNITIES
Multiple
Contacts per Opportunity
Associate multiple contacts to a single opportunity to
ensure you are aware of every contact within an
organization that could impact the closing of a deal,
whether they are an influencer, decision maker, or play
another role. Multiple Contacts per Opportunity allows
you to track more than one contact associated with an
Opportunity without having to create separate
opportunities for each Contact, and allows for a more
comprehensive view of all the contacts that are involved
with an opportunity.
INTRODUCING
THE ALL-NEW, INTERACTIVE DASHBOARD
Your
critical information, all in one place.
The all-new interactive ACT! Dashboard gives you a
comprehensive glance at your key information in a visual
easy-to-use format. Roll-up key activity and opportunity
information all in the single Dashboard view with the
information you need to tackle your day and be more
productive.
ACT!
FUNCTIONS YOU USE EVERY DAY ARE STREAMLINED FOR GREATER
EFFICIENCY.
Save
Space in your Database by Adding Document Shortcuts to
Activity and History Items
You can now add document shortcuts to Activity and
History items without having to attach the full
document. You save space and allow other non-ACT! users
to edit the same document--ensuring you have the most
updated document in the database.
Keep
your Database Clean and Accurate With an Automatic Check
for Duplicates by First and Last Name
You can automatically check for duplicate First and Last
names contained within ACT! when entering a new Contact
Record. When a duplicate record is found, a prompt will
inform you that you are creating a duplicate Contact and
will provide you with the option to continue or cancel
the entry. You also have the option to set and define
checking criteria for up to three fields so you only get
the duplicate prompt when it matters to you.
Works
With Other Software
ACT! 2008 works with multiple operating systems
(including Microsoft Windows XP and the new Windows
VistaȘ operating system), and is compatible with the
most popular releases of Office and Internet Explorer,
including Office 2007 and Internet Explorer 7.0.
FASTER
ACCESS TO MORE COMPREHENSIVE OPPORTUNITY INFORMATION.
Know
All the Decision Makers By Tracking Multiple Contacts in
One Opportunity
Make sure you`re aware of all contacts within an
organization that could impact the closing of your deal,
whether they are influencers, decision makers, or in
other positions. Multiple Contacts per Opportunity
allows you to track more than one contact associated
with an Opportunity without having to create separate
opportunities for each Contact, and allows for a more
comprehensive view of all the contacts that are involved
with an opportunity.
View
the Complete Details of an Opportunity from a List View
with Opportunity List Details
View all contacts or products associated with an
opportunity from the Opportunity list view without
having to open the opportunity. Save time by simply
mousing over the opportunity in the List view to quickly
identify additional information for that opportunity in
seconds.
EASIER
WAYS TO SEARCH AND ORGANIZE GROUPS AND COMPAINES.
Automatically
Check for Duplicate Group and Company Records to Ensure
Your Database Remains Clean and Accurate When a
duplicate record is found, a prompt will inform you that
you are creating a duplicate Group or Company and will
provide you with the option to continue or cancel the
entry. You also have the option to set and define
duplicate record checking criteria for up to three
fields so you are only prompted when required by your
pre-determined conditions.
Maintain
More Consistent Groups and Companies Record Structures
By Using the Label Subgroups and Divisions
For example, many companies in your database may have
divisions or departments with the same names, like
"Sales" or "Marketing." With ACT!
2008, you can utilize "Sales" and
"Marketing" as division names for as many
company records as you wish. This improvement lets you
maintain more consistent Group and Company Record
structures for improved organization and data accuracy.
Enhance
Your Search and Reporting Needs by Performing Advanced
Queries for Groups and Companies
This will allow you to find Group and Company
information more easily. Create new queries identifying
all Groups and Companies listed as prospects or located
in the same territory. You can save the Advanced Query
for later searching and easily re-define the search
criteria, reducing time spent on future searches. This
enables you to better leverage your customer information
based on the query results.
Easily
Determine Group and Company Hierarchy--Including
Subgroups and Divisions--by Viewing in Dialog Boxes
This not only allows for easier navigation, it also
allows you to more clearly see relationships. With this
hierarchy you can easily decipher which Subgroup and
Division is associated with parent Group and Company
records.
