Act4Advisors 2.0 requires ACT! Version 6.0 (2004)
Frequent contact with customers, or
"relationship management," is important in building
a successful business. The payback is clear: Retaining current
customers costs five to seven times less than finding new
ones. Studies show that over a lifetime, loyal customers
purchase more, cost less to sell to, and will refer five
other people to a business.

Investment professionals that use the widely acclaimed ACT!
software know the power and advantages it brings to their
financial practice. With over 3 million users worldwide
and 10,000 corporate accounts, ACT! has proven itself by bringing
ease of use and powerful features that even a novice can master
in just a few minutes. But, to get the most out of ACT!,
it is important that users customize the ACT! interface for
easy access to the data they need to keep track of.
If ACT! is such a great product, why do you need ACT4Advisors?
The answer is simple: ACT! is designed for general sales,
not specifically for the financial-services industry. It is
possible to customize ACT! to meet the needs of financial
advisors, but to do so would be time consuming. Wouldn't you
be better off purchasing a set of industry specific layouts,
templates, and reports that were already customized for advisors?
Well, that is exactly what ACT4Advisors offers.

Most ACT! users never have the time nor the expertise to
customize their ACT! program. As a result, they never
get the full power of what ACT! can do for them and their
business. They miss opportunities and that means loss of revenue
or worse yet LOST OPPORTUNITIES.

ACT! has updated its packaging and pricing for
ACT! 6.0. The box is now labeled as NEW for 2004 but it is
still ACT! 6.03
The new box now includes ACT! for Pocket PC,
ACT! Link for Palm and for a short time, ACT! for Palm OS.
The retail price of ACT! has increased to $249
from $199 but the Pocket PC Link and ACT! for Palm OS were
previously sold separately at $39 and $79 respectively. They
are now included in the box as part of ACT!. This is a great
deal since 70% of ACT! users are using one of these PDA devices.
NOTE - We currently have in stock - ACT! 6.0 software and it does not include the Pocket PC, or the ACT! for Palm OS software.
