-
-
- How Does Impulse! Work?
- Impulse! can be used in your direct mail, telemarketing and outside
- sales efforts.
-
- Direct Mail: Impulse! will print form letters, labels and reports.
- Letters can be mail merged with the contacts information to produce
- personalized letters. Criteria can be established to target only
- the contacts you want.
-
- Telemarketing: It will dial the telephone and note the phone call
- on the contact's record. Telemarketing scripts and notes of
- previous conversations with the contact can be displayed.
-
- Outside Sales: Sales history, communications and preferences can be
- accessed instantly. Schedules can be kept. Information from the
- field sales rep's computer or laptop can be intelligently merged
- with the main database on the home office computer.
-
-
- How Easy Is It To Learn And Use?
- The entire package is completely menu-driven and help screens are
- available at any time to provide more information on the feature or
- option. As a result, anyone can learn to use it in minutes. Once
- you are comfortable with the program, you will appreciate how easy
- it is to move around in the program. This is due to the fact that
- most of the day-to-day features are accessed by a single keystroke.
-
-
- How Flexible Is Impulse!
- The software has been carefully designed to minimize the learning
- curves and maximize productivity. All this and the ability to
- control it to suit your needs and applications. Information
- specific to your company can be entered. Reports can be designed
- and changed on the fly. Form letters can be given that personal
- look. Labels can be printed to fit your label stock. Follow up
- dates and activities can be setup to save keystrokes.
-
-
- Powerful Features That Make Impulse!
- The Professional's Solution
-
-
- Scheduler/Log Reports
- Impulse! includes scheduler and logbook features that provide
- historical information of previous events as well as future
- activities. A single key stroke can display a chronological account
- of meetings, phone calls, appointments and other activities with a
- contact.
-
- Its tough enough remembering what day it is. But trying to remember
- all the people you need to call and the reason for each call is a
- lot to handle effectively. Impulse! can help you in your job by
- displaying a list of all the people to be followed up with. It will
- show a summary of all the previous conversations with each of them
- and an activity report to track everything from initial contact to
- the closing. The Tickler/Log reports will help you close more leads
- and increase repeat business.
-
- Targeting Contacts
- Consistent and effective marketing is vital to succeeding in
- today's competitive business world. Few businesses can afford to
- direct mail or telemarket to the whole world. But by targeting
- specific contacts, you can reach the ones with the most potential.
- That way you can concentrate your efforts and resources on the
- right contacts, not just any contact.
-
- For instance, with just a few keystrokes you can send a letter to
- contacts with service contracts or insurance policies up for
- renewal. Or perhaps a letter to residents in 'MA' with an income of
- $500,000 or more.
-
- Printing
- Impulse! also enables you to design creative and personalized form
- letters. Once designed, contacts can be mail merged into a letter.
- This feature can also be used for printing reports with headers,
- footers and totals. Or just simple mailing labels. Impulse! comes
- with several predesigned form letters, labels, rolodex formats and
- labels. You can modify these or create your own.
-
- Customizing The Database
- To help you maintain information vital to you and your
- organization, Impulse!'s database can be customized. For instance,
- a real estate agent would want to keep track of the selling price
- of a property, the number of bedrooms, baths, etc. Impulse! allows
- you to define up to 1000 fields particular to your needs.
