Telephony Integration

GoldMine and Your Phone System
What you don't know that you can do!

Whether you're cold calling, introducing yourself to new leads and referrals, following up on active prospects and customers, or fielding incoming inquiries, a large ratio of sales activity takes place on the phone, and when you're on the phone you should be on the record.

For my organization, and others, the use of the phones is a big enough factor that we believe it warrants having tight integration between your phone system and your GoldMine database.

Work The Phones All Day Long

Your business already own's an extremely powerful tool in GoldMine software to help you “work the phones” more productively and effectively. Yet, most businesses that own GoldMine HAVE NOT harnessed its capabilities and applied them in a focused and systematic way. Here’s a webinar for you to attend so your organization can get started with "working the phones" more productively.

First Direct Corp. hasn’t just been selling and supporting GoldMine for over a decade, we’ve used GoldMine to win more sales awards than any other Solutions Partner.  We want to “pull back the curtain” and show you how we’ve been using GoldMine as a "call center tool" so you can too! 

We’ve planned a valuable 2 hour online workshop to introduce the idea of setting up a Micro Call Center with 1-3 telemarketers using your GoldMine system.

The goal of this webinar is to help you:

  • Increase "face time" between your sales force and prospects/customers
  • Reactivate business with former or inactive customers
  • Improve the quality of your database for better marketing focus and reach
  • Ensure leads and prospects don’t fall through the cracks
  • Lower the cost of sales
  • Optimize the value of your database

Using the GoldMine Email Center

What You Need to Know!

 
This training class will explain the differences between using GoldMine for your Internet email versus Outlook with the link to GoldMine.   In addition, this class will include the actual features of the GoldMine Email Center and the Email Client.   There's no denying that GoldMine’s email features have both "pros and cons". In our opinion the “pros” far outweigh the “cons.”  For users who insist on Outlook Integration, we’ve got that too!  

This is a great "beginner" course for those who want to start using GoldMine as their Email Client once their preferences are set up.  It's also an excellent way for a firm's management and IT staff to learn enough about GoldMine's email client to decide the value of implementing it.

Attendee Testimonial:

My hat's off to you, Bob!   I took your advice and after the class on "Opportunity & Project Management" and built a simple Opportunity.  Wow, this tool is great! Finally, I know how to gather all the facets of a project into one cohesive location. I had been inundated with sticky notes and notes on manilla pads.  Now I have the tool that lets me visualize all my projects instead of having them in my head.  I am holding the reigns, managing them.  I feel like I am in control instead of always scrambling... Finally, I can see daylight again!

GoldMine Record Typing

Tapping this Powerful Workflow Tool

 There is a lot of mystery and misunderstanding surrounding GoldMine Record Typing.  Record Typing enables you to design custom screen views which dynamically change as you change the classification of the record.  For example, a “Prospect” can look different than a “Vendor” and so on.

Record Typing can assist with workflow and will make your users’ experience more intuitive, which results in improved data capture and ultimately leads to better reporting and marketing.

In this webinar I will clear up confusion and help you to appreciate the applications and benefits of this useful database design feature.

Topics Presented:

- What is Record Typing
- How can it help organizations and their GoldMine users
- See an example of Record Typing
- The basics of setting up Record Types
