Hello All,
 
Ask, listen and adjust accordingly!  One of the simplest tools to improvement of customer service is the concept of feedback.  Generally speaking, most consider negative feedback a "bad" thing and positive feedback a "good" thing.  In fact, both are crucially necessary for growth in any area of life and business.  A good CRM package can help you track and analyze trends and activities with your customers and vendors.  AccountMate offers such a package.  See the link below or contact us for further details.

Please let me know if you need assistance with operational questions or procedures, or if you are interested in upgrading.

Blessings and Continuing Success Always,
  
Kathy Hemmelgarn

AccountMate CRM

A brief overview of AccountMate's Customer Relationship Manager (CRM) module is that it "manages and reports on every recorded interaction with a prospect, client, supplier, contact, or branch office. It can schedule the next appropriate interaction, enabling exceptional account management and customer service. At a glance, you can view all past interactions with each contact providing the ability to track activities, issues and interactions with all your clients. It can even manage your meetings, phone calls and emails."
 
This is just the start. It works with programs like Microsoft Office so data can be merged and utilized in other programs to create custom mailings, mass emails, reports and other business documents. It can also be used for sales force and business process automation. Please Click Here Now for more details.
