Mine the Gold out of GoldMine with Wizard Systems one hour webinar

Attend our one hour on line training session on Friday 23rd October at 2pm (UK time) and see how you can get more information and KPIs out of GoldMine like:

• How many enquiries are we getting?
• Have all our new enquiries been followed up?
• Where do our leads come from and what is the most profitable source of our business
• How many Calls and Appointments are we getting?
• What were the outcomes of all our sales calls last month?
• What potential sales are coming up?
• What customers haven’t been called in the last 6 months?
• How many records do we have without information filled in like e-mail addresses?

The training course will cover use of GoldMine’s built in Report Writer (not Crystal Reports) and its various Analysis Screens.  We will go through how to run reports, restrict what data you want to report on, and how to create new reports.  Attendees should already have a good knowledge of GoldMine.

All you need to attend this Training session is access to the Internet!  You will be able to hear our Trainer either via your PC Speakers, a headset connected to your PC or by dialing a local phone number (not premium rate!).
 
The cost of the one hour training session is £25 exc VAT for clients who have a software support contract with Wizard Systems, or £35 exc VAT if you do not have a contract with us.  This will be invoiced to your company after you attend.

Available for any installations of 10 or more users, order before October 29th 2009 and get the upgrade at only £255 per license, a saving of £60 per license on the normal price. This price excludes the annual Maintenance & Support.

Benefits of upgrading from GoldMine Standard Edition to GoldMine Premium Edition are:

1) Faster and even easier to use with a new, intuitive and modern interface.
2) Faster operation on larger systems or larger number of users because it runs on MS SQL.

4) More options for integrating with other applications.
5) More robust and reliable database format.
6) Background maintenance and admin unlike dBase where users have to log off. So very little downtime with an SQL system.
7) Faster and better reporting with the Crystal Reports software included.
8) GoldMine Premium Edition includes all synchronisation software, which was priced separately with Standard Edition. Synchronisation is also faster in this version.
9) Better security over dBase systems. DBase systems can be accessed easily via Windows Explorer and files opened via Excel.
