Tips:
Have
you used the Salesmatrix Budget generator?
In speaking to many of our seasoned
Salesmatrix users, it is apparent that many are unaware
of the functionality behind the budget creation in Salesmatrix.
If you are in a similar situation, you are missing a significant
part of the Salesmatrix V4 intelligence. Even without creating
a budget you can for example check out the correlation between
cross-sell and sales channel performance. Or why not check
out how many customers you will have to sell to each month
to achieve a 10% growth. Go to Tools/Create Budget and click
the Correlation Drivers tab and explore the drivers behind
your market!
Customised reporting facilities
If you have a specific format for a report that you want
to produce from Salesmatix, or need it in a special place
in your internal CRM system, Salesmatrix 4.5 has the ability
to connect with customised external reporting software.
If you would like to know more, or be quoted on how much
a customised report from Salesmatrix would cost, please
feel free to contact us.
Reminder on Annual maintenance
provisions.
Payment of Annual maintenance is now an established part
of business software practice. Many of our distribution
partners include this in their proposal for the provision
of Salesmatrix. The benefits are many, including the continual
upgrade to the latest features added to Salesmatrix, the
ability to relicence immediately on another computer should
you change hardware, and access to our support using GoToMeeting.
In addition to this at Salesmatrix we understand that
personnel change, businesses grow and needs change. In some
cases the benefits provided by Salesmatrix become neglected
or forgotten. From 1 September 2009, Salesmatrix introduced
the addition to our standard maintenance service of
one hour of personalised on-line training per company
per annum. This session can be tailored to your specific
needs and will help ensure you are getting the most out
of Salesmatrix. All companies subscribing to Attache Fast
Track Plan, Business Manager Gold Club, or otherwise paying
an approved annual maintenance plan through their dealer
are eligible for this service. If you would like to book
this in advance, please feel free to contact us directly
, or
fill
in the form on our website.

NOVEMBER 2008 Newsletter
Welcome to the November
2008 update for Salesmatrix users.
With
difficult economic times
it is even
more important to work smarter
not harder. As can be expected over the
coming period, markets will change and it will become increasingly
important to react quickly to change. In difficult times
factors such as which products are no longer being sold,
where better margin opportunities exist
and how customers adapt their buying patterns to new circumstances
can be the making or breaking of a business.
The Salesmatrix range continues to
make the job of
recognising
changing patterns
and trends just a mouse-click away
and with our new versions, even more intelligent and customisable
to your day-to-day analysis needs.
Below you will find some of the enhancements and features
that have been added and some updates to what is happening
at Salesmatrix...

New features include the ability to:
- go back and forward between
grid views

(e.g. the first five months this year versus the first
five last year)

and colour options under terminal server and Vista

of the Salesmatrix family that is designed to automate the
creation and distribution of Salesmatrix datasets. Salesmatrix
Server allows datasets to be created and downloaded at designated

things) for example

3am,
- a monthly dataset to be downloaded
on the first day of the month.
- a dataset for one sales territory
to be created, zipped and emailed to the responsible
salesperson every first Monday in the month.
In the future Salesmatrix Server
will also become the engine for web services, providing
an interface for web developers to access the intelligence
Salesmatrix produces.
The release configuration will
be Salesmatrix Server + 5 viewer licences for $A3000+GST.
Existing Salesmatrix users can upgrade to this Salesmatrix
Server for $A1800+GST. An installation service package which
