Q: Is your program easy to use?

Contact Sage Pro™ was designed to be easy to learn and use. Our program doesn't have multi-layered menus or complex operating procedures. Each function is given a picture icon for easy reference.

Our users span the spectrum from computer novices to technical experts.  We always try to make our systems simple for the computer novices while including features for the technical experts. Of course, Contact Sage Pro™ also comes with manuals, tutorials, and phone and online support.

"After owning two other contact management programs which were difficult to learn and use, I have now been using Contact Sage Pro for Insurance and Investments for over a year and find the system to be the easiest to learn and use in my practice. I had just about given up on finding a good system until Contact Sage Pro came along. All my data is in one place that is easy to access, update and use on a day-to-day basis. I wish I would have found this system before I spent the money and wasted my time with the other systems." Robert N. - CLU, ChFC, CRC 

Q: I've seen other programs. How is yours different?

“Among Midlevel CRM Peers,
Contact Sage Pro Stands Out”

Joel P. Bruckenstein  (Morningstar: 05-02-03) 

There are many contact management systems geared towards advisors and agents on the market. Generally, the information that most of the systems store is similar.  A system must store names, addresses, telephone numbers, e-mails, birthdates, etc. To track contact activities, a system must also store notes and have a built-in appointment calendar and schedule alarm. Most systems designed for advisors and agents also must store varying amounts of investment and insurance policy specific information, and varying amounts of personal financial information such as income, net worth, etc. Because most of the good systems (not all are good) store similar information, the real differences between them are their ease-of-use and the range and simplicity of their contact management functions such as creating form letters, scheduling appointments, searching for contacts, putting together contact lists, running reports, and basic day-to-day functions to improve contact relationships. 

In our view, these differences are actually more important than the data being stored.  A system that stores all of your information but makes it difficult to access and use that information is not useful. 

We encourage advisors and agents looking for a system to gather as much information about contact management systems as they can. That being said, we recommend that you start using a useful contact management system as soon as possible to benefit from the advantages that it will provide. You should also consider changing to a different system if your current system isn't useful or you find it is too difficult to consistently use; because you are really not using a system at all. A good contact management system will become an integral part of your successful practice; because it will not only put contact information and functionality within easy reach, but it will also help protect you by satisfying compliance requirements.
