Apr 28, SalesTrakr | Fun, Easy Contact Manager / CRM For Tracking Your Sales

Mon, 28 Apr 2008 21:14:30 GMT

Just got off the phone chatting to Steve Youngblood, CEO of SalesTrakr, (not) yet another web based (hosted) contact manager/CRM. That's no typo, btw - SalesTrakr IS missing a 'c' and an 'e', but not much else, by the sound of things! Their tag line says SalesTrakr is FUN & EASY to use, two words that resonate with software users, but that help determine a (particularly CRM) products success or not. I asked Steve a couple of pointed questions regarding their new(ish) product, and he came through with flying colors. As they say, talk is cheap, but I sure look forward to putting SalesTrakr to the test to see how it meets expectations. Watch this space..

Apr 25, Sales People Task Lists | Task Lists Heart Of CRM

Fri, 25 Apr 2008 07:29:16 GMT

I often refer to the Task List / ToDo List / Hotlist / Activity List whatever as the heart of the CRM system. Well, I suppose the contact database is really that, but our lives revolve around the CRM Task list. In a never-ending cycle of adding and completing tasks, we merrily go about our day. So, the functionality of the CRM Task list is, to me, paramount. When evaluating your CRM, pay particular attention to the the proposed CRM's Task list. This is where your sales people will be conducting their day, after all, managing their follow-ups. Is it easy to use, loaded with functionality? How quickly can you access your task list when you have that spur-of-the-moment thought? Can you send an email or make a call directly from that task? Is it practical - does it work like you do, or is it trying to dictate to you on their terms? So pay attention to the Task List when evaluating a CRM or Contact Manager for your sales team. It could determine whether it will really get accepted and used.

Apr 20, Do You Monetize Your Website With Google Adsense Or Advertize With Google Adwords?

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 15:13:38 GMT

Off our usual CRM topic, but if this applies to you (as it does me), here is one ridiculous deal. I was quite annoyed actually - I bought an earlier edition of this book 2 years ago by renowned Adsense guru Joel Comm - "Adsense Secrets" - for about $80, but this 2008 edition is on limited time promotion for just $9.95! Suspicious.. what's the catch, I thought? I only noticed as I bought the book, but the catch is this - Joel tries to upsell you his other exclusive courses when you order. You can just ignore them, but he is treating "Adsense Secrets" as a loss leader - a clever and confident move! If you want to earn maximum Adsense income, "Adsense Secrets 2008" is essential reading.

Apr 20, RememberTheMilk Online Task Manager | Honey, don't forget the milk!

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 09:51:23 GMT

I'm busy testing RememberTheMilk to manage my personal tasks. So far so good! RememberTheMilk (RTM) has a great, user-friendly interface and some neat features. You can use it offline too to manage your tasks. You can share tasks with colleagues or friends and to some extent integrate to iGoogle. That I must still check out. Adding tasks is easy and you can add direct from your toolbar rather than having to login every time. Their use of AJAX to speed up use is fantastic, as this is often a downfall of web based task managers and online PIMS (Personal Information Managers). Our full review of RememberTheMilk coming soon.

Apr 19, CRM & Social Networking | Customer Service On Twitter

Sat, 19 Apr 2008 21:03:27 GMT

CRM & Social Networking Companies wanting to provide superior service (and online reputation management) should look at customer service opportunities presented by social networking sites like Twitter. Companies leveraging the novelty appeal that still exists can, by their prompt responses to customer complaints, stand to gain the most advantage right now. (They might even get exposure in articles like this: http://tinyurl.com/656ol2 ) I'd imagine their first intention is for online reputation management, but who cares as long as issues get resolved. So, if customer care is part of your company strategy, you need to start tracking and participating in conversations on social networking sites like Twitter. Seize the initiative now, as later you'll only be conspicuous in your absence.

Apr 17, Rumour Becomes Reality - SalesForce & Google Tie The Knot

Thu, 17 Apr 2008 22:56:34 GMT

After long-circulated rumours, it's now official - Google and SalesForce have joined forces in their bid to conquer The Enterprise, and hopefully inflict damage at Microsoft as a consequence. Sad though that it seems this collaboration overlooks the small business market, which could also gain from such a conjoined CRM product. SalesForce will now tightly integrate to Google Apps with its Calendar, Gmail, Chat and Google Docs (competitor to MS Office), as well as being able to display SalesForce components on your Google Start Page. Nice! Sounds practical..
