Upgrade today to ensure you focus on the right customers. Top Reasons to UpgradeEnjoy the newly designed look of ACT! with proven easier to learn and use navigation, instant access to search, related tasks, big “easy” buttons, and the new Welcome page. The Welcome Screen is a great tool for both old and new users. New users will have, in a simple easy to navigate layout, how to make ACT! work for them. Experienced users will find it useful for the functions that they do not often use. A great addition. --Beta User Take advantage of leading-edge social media technology that automatically integrates profiles and data from LinkedIn®, Facebook, Plaxo, and more with ACT! for instant knowledge about your customers. I love this tab [Web Info], this is one of the best features ACT! could have added. When you have an appointment with a client and you can just get a map straight from ACT! instead of going to ACT! getting the address then opening a browser and MapQuest. Great Job!! -- Beta User Generate actionable demand with end-to-end e-marketing* that intelligently and automatically reaches out to your ACT! contacts and delivers results right to the ACT! Contact Record, saving you money by helping you focus on the right customers. *Requires additional subscription I'm very excited about the E-marketing opportunities in the new ACT!. The possibility of having an organized and seamless marketing program without having to establish more files and systems or hire an assistant makes me absolutely giddy! --Beta User Tailor opportunities to fit your selling model with redesigned sales tracking functionality that allows you to maximize the way you manage leads. Sales opportunities now behave and appear like contacts, groups, and companies, making them more flexible than ever. The overall look and feel to the new version is superb. The Opportunity Layout is without-a-doubt the most awesome addition. --Beta User Unlock insight into your biggest opportunities for quick wins using new dashboards and reports viewable in a streamlined layout, or create custom reports with the new connector for third-party report writers. Get more from everything you keep in ACT!. Dashboards are great, I liked the ability to create custom dashboards and to quickly filter data without needing to create different dashboards. Simplicity of building dashboards was appreciated. --Beta User Send calendar invitations and contacts from ACT! to leading e-mail solutions, like Gmail™, Apple® iCal®, Windows Live™, and Microsoft® Outlook®. Work seamlessly with non-ACT! users. Great to see this feature [iCalendar] incorporated. You people have really out done yourselves with the new features this year. It is nice not to have to switch back and forth between ACT! and outlook. --Beta User More Detail on New FeaturesEnjoy the newly designed look of ACT!, with proven easier to learn and use navigation, instant access to search, related tasks, consolidated menus, big “easy” buttons, and more: You’ve got to see the new look!
