I´m sure this is a well-known scenario for you as well:
As an exhibitor you were successful at the trade fair and you had many interesting contacts. The moment you are back in the office, the daily business has caught up with you again.
Your folder with the contacts you met on the trade will stay in the corner, because you have no time to follow-up with them.
The reworking of the trade is just as important as the trade itself
You are sitting in your office, your desk littered with hundreds of contact forms which you should manually enter into your ACT! database. For this you need hours, if you assume that each contact takes around 12 minutes of your time, which means on one day you would create just 40 contacts – and that only if you would concentrate only on this task. That is a whole day when you can not deal with your normal business activities.
Just compare right now

With a single mouse-click into your database
With Scan IT this belongs to the past.
Already during the trade you can now scan the business card of your conversation partner into your database and additionaly add all the essential content as history – all while you are talking to your potential customer!
In seconds you can create more contacts with Scan IT, as you can type in hours! Time-consuming, manual entry of contact details was yesterday! Typos are excluded and Scan IT automatically checkes for duplicates, with the option to update them.
After the trade, when normally the collected contact forms / business cards are stacked on your desktop, you have the time to professionally and promptly follow up with your trade contacts – first come, first served!
You see – this investment pays off in no time!
