Be Prepared, Be Professional, Be Productive

In July of 2008 I wrote a blog - "Jack Berman's Call Organizer" - about the way I used to prepare for sales calls when I was a manufacturers representative. In the blog I talk about how and why I did this and how successful it was for me.

What I forgot to mention is the time it took to do the preparation. Jack told us (1991, CPMR 101 students) it should take about 15 minutes per call. It often took me much longer to prepare for a call. Here are the steps I took initially:

* went over each manufacturer's reports for sales numbers TY vs LY
* went over each manufacturer's reports (if available) to see what SKU's they were buying
* tried to remember what we talked about the last time we met or talked
* wrote down what I wanted to accomplish during the meeting

​Over time the steps changed slightly:

Creating an Active Customer List for E-mailing

5/11/2012

0 Comments

 
​There are other discussions in the Documentation section of Support that go over how to send out bulk e-mails and to create a customer list by manufacturer.  In this discussion, I want to talk about how to create a list of your active customers, those with current sales, and a list of your customers over a certain dollar amount for marketing purposes.

Here are a couple of scenarios with instructions on how to set up the lists. 


Scenario I. You want to notify your current, active customers about a management or sales rep change at your company and how it will affect them. 

Questions:
A. How do I put together a list of current, active customers?
​
B. How do I send a bulk e-mail to them?


Scenario II. You want to notify your current, active Heavenmade [a manufacturer you represent] customers, with sales over $25,000/year, that you have hired a new sales rep to make health care end user calls for them. 

Questions:
A. How do I put together a list of Heavenmade customers with sales over $25,000/year? 
B. How do I assign John McNamara to them?
C. How do I send a bulk e-mail them?

Company/Contact Name "Matches" (green) and 'Matches' (red) squiggly lines

4/23/2012

0 Comments

 
Throughout MRSware you have the ability to type a company or contact name into a variety of Contact fields: Company cards, Contact cards, Contact selectors in Journals, Projects, Appointments, Tasks, Opportunities, Campaigns, Invoices, E-mail To fields, as well as the Contact Selector fields you use to link companies and contacts to Journals, Appointments, Projects, etc., and Search fields  All these fields not only offer Auto Complete options, but also offer a text control with context sensitive hints. 
​
What this means is that if you type in part of a name and click on the Tab or Enter key, the system will finish filling out the name for you (Auto Complete).  However, when there is more than one match or if there is no match in the system for the name you typed in, then you will see a squiggly colored line under the name (Text control with context sensitive hints).
Below are examples of text control with context sensitive hints and how to use these hints.

History - data history - to retain or not to retain?

12/1/2009

0 Comments

 
​We are often asked how to delete data - a customer who has gone out of business or a manufacturer who is no longer represented – from MRSware. This is a thorny issue, one that has repercussions beyond the information appearing in a current report.

Should you retain the data or should it be deleted from your MRSware system? Let's look at the issue from both sides.

​Q: It occurred to me as I am telling the team that they are now supposed to do their own updating on contacts and customers that someone might have the potential to blow up a major file. What are the backup systems for our files on MRSware?

Generate a list of customers with contacts for a particular manufacturer

6/11/2008

0 Comments

 
​Question

How do I get a list of customers for one of my manufacturers that also includes the contacts at those various customers?

Answer

You can use the Contact Export Wizard to do this:

1. Click on "File" → "Export" → "Contact Export Wizard".
2. Check the box that says "Customers" on the Search Options (first) page. Press Next.
3. Fill in the Principals name. Press Next.
4. On the Export Criteria page, make sure "Both Companies and Contacts" is selected at the top. Check the box that says "Include contacts for matching companies" near the bottom. Press Next.
5. Continue through the wizard until you get to the Export Destinations page. Enter the file name you want to create and press Finish.

This creates and opens a spreadsheet file that contains all of the companies and contacts for the selected manufacturer. You can play around with the various options in the wizard to further filter down your results as needed. For example, you might run this for a particular sales rep, or geography.
