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 as well. 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. Usability

workgroups and small offices as a multi user network solution, not
just for individuals. As a result of this design, Contact Plus
Professional offers users a unique blend of tools specifically
designed for collaboration between people in a business environment.
