Case Study: CheerStix Cuts Order Processing Times

This summer, sports fans around the country and world will cheer on their favorite teams and athletes with the help of CheerStix. When the two, 2-foot-long balloons are slammed together they make a metallic, clanging sound.

Keeping track of multiple contacts at the same organization is essential for CheerStix, which can potentially provide its noise-makers to several different teams and talk to multiple contacts at the same school.

With GoldMine, Quotewerks and ShipRush, the company has scored winning sales and customer service, and impressive results.

Tech Tip - Free Up Licenses When Not in Use

Encourage all users to log out of GoldMine when they are done with sessions in order to free up licenses for others.

The Flags.bin file in GoldMine keeps track of how many people are logged in at one time. This file can become mis-populated with data, and therefore not allow the full number of licenses to log in at one time.

To prevent this, encourage all users to log out of GoldMine by going to File > Exit, rather than using the X button. Using File > Exit will ensure that the user’s session is completed and the Flags file makes the license available for other users.
