The Power of Contact Management for Small Businesses
ACT! helps small business focus, organize, build relationships

If the ACT! Contact Management Solution were any more efficient, it would run your business. Just ask the millions of ACT! users worldwide. They would tell you that ACT! will manage all your customer information, keep you on schedule, create and send personalized letters, faxes and emails, generate sales reports, share and synchronize customer information in a workgroup, and that's just to name a few.

We can talk about all the incredible stuff ACT! can do for hours. But for now, let's touch on five.

Memorize everything in the world about a person. Keep all the usual necessary information like phone numbers and addresses but also keeps track of all your email threads, available opportunities with the contact, their history, associated files and even reminds you when you need to follow up. If you're in a small business, you are likely trying to acquire relationships and deals with as many different people as possible. ACT! keeps them all remembered and organized, so you don't have to.

Mail merge for powerful marketing.  Send special email promotions and personalize it to every single contact. To give ACT!'s mail merge an extra jolt of energy, get High Impact eMail. The power of ACT! and High Impact eMail allows you to create personalized HTML email you can use for marketing, communications — and do it professionally.

Mail merge for efficient communications. This means either of two things: A) You no longer need an assistant to take care of administrative duties. B) No more wishing you had an assistant to take care of administrative duties. Mail merge fax cover sheets, address correspondence letters, or print out shipping labels — you can do it fast, easy and efficient. Coming Soon: OfficeReady for ACT! — OfficeReady templates with integration with ACT! for easy mail merge.

Stay on top of your schedule. ACT! will keep you focused. Print and view your schedule by day, week or month. Filter priorities and roll over unfinished tasks to the next day. Never forget a meeting again — set alarms to remind yourself of important events.

Synchronize with Microsoft Outlook, your Palm OS and Pocket PCs. Keep yourself on top of meetings, tasks and contacts no matter where you are or what you're using. ACT! will help you synchronize with your handheld devices.

How do you like your Spam? 

Ella for Spam Control Lets You Decide What is Spam

"World's Best Spam Blocker", according to PC User Magazine — Ella for Spam Control is smart, simple, and effective software. Using technology called adaptive learning, Ella for Spam Control is an intelligent assistant that manages your inbox: sorting your incoming mail without using filters or forcing you to learn a new application.

Fully integrated with Microsoft Outlook, Ella simply looks at your emails as they arrive, and files them for you: Inbox, Review Later (or Newsletters), and Spam. Using its core technology, Ella learns what you want to read, and sends it to your mailbox, automatically filing other mail for your review or deletion. 

We found Ella to be remarkably accurate, generating very few "false positives", and it never deletes your mail before you get a chance to look it over.  By the way, Ella stands for Electronic Learning Assistance.   After you try Ella, you will never use another anti-spam product…you won't need to.

Add Productivity and Professionalism When Writing Emails.
Email merge every time you send an email with ACT and High Impact eMail.

Sometimes, it's the little things that makes life easier. You can easily set up a High Impact eMail stationery as default in ACT! and set email merge fields so that every time you click on an email address, a new message window will pop up with the person's name already in the message.*

A little help sometimes goes a long way. Here's how to do it:

Step 1: Set template as ACT! default stationery
Right click on the stationery of your choice and choose the profile you would like to apply.

Step 2: Open the ACT! Stationery in ACT!
You will find the newly converted ACT! stationery by going to:
Write Edit Graphical (HTML) Email Template...
Choose the file emailbody.gmt

Step 3: Insert the merge fields
Edit the stationery with the salutation of your choice and add the First Name field. Add any other fields that are appropriate. Save as is with the same name emailbody.gmt

You're Done! Every time you click on an email address in ACT! those fields will automatically be inserted.

*Will only work if you are using the ACT! email client.

Ask the ZONE Expert

Q: I use the ACT! mail client as well as Microsoft Outlook. When I double click on a template, it goes into my ACT! mail client. Sometimes I want to use Outlook instead - how do I use High Impact eMail with Outlook?

A: No matter which mail client you had initially set up High Impact eMail to be used with, you can use the templates with any of the compatible email clients: ACT! email client, Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express. If you would like to create a new mail message using High Impact eMail templates in a mail client that is not specified as default - instead of double clicking - right click on the icon of the template you want to use and go to New Mail and then to the mail client you would like to use.
