Customized Contact,
Client and Office
Management for Financial
Advisors
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.
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.
“The Growing Importance of Contact
Management.”
“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.”

“A middle ground CRM program
that will meet many advisors' needs.”
“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.”

“While Cuomo's firm does not track all of its clients' investments
from within ACT4Advisors, she still finds the Security Quote field on
the Investment tab very useful. "A number of clients call from time
to time for stock quotes," she says. "If I enter the stocks
in the Security Quote field, I can obtain quotes right from their contact
record within ACT4Advisors.”
“The primary advantage of ACT4Advisors is that advisors receive
a highly customized version of ACT! at a very affordable price. "ACT!
combined with ACT4Advisors is a bargain," says Michael Dubis, president
of Touchstone Financial, in Madison, Wisc. ”
“It's easy to use," says Dubis. "It's detailed enough
to be just right, but not too detailed that you never want to use it.”
“Cuomo agrees: "It's really powerful, but not difficult.”
“The group of users I spoke with had good things to say about service
and support. Dubis described ACT4Advisor as "very responsive and
patient.”
“With ACT!'s large user base, there's a good chance that some of
your staff is familiar with the program, which means that your training
cost will be minimized. Finding competent temps or virtual work partners
to perform various tasks within ACT! shouldn't prove much of a challenge
either.”
