ACT! software
47 RepliesJump to last post
Hello all, my UBS advisor that I’m interning for is thinking about buying a software called ACT to transfer all his client information from MS outlook to a contact management system. He has his mind set on ACT, but wants to know if we can just transfer everything over from his Outlook to ACT without manually retyping everything in. Or is there another software out there that can do this?
Yes and Yes but ACT is sort of the gold standard for contact managment software.
I haven't done it in a while, but you should definitely be able to do this. If you can't, you can export everything from Outlook to a text file, and then import it into Act!.
Maybe someone else that's done it recently can give you better info.
Jim, I’ve got experience with your issue…unfortunately, I recently took a vow to no longer post useful information on this site due to all the trolls.

About 10 years ago it was.

The word is you're--but perhaps your finger bleeding made the keys slippery.
ACT upgrades its software and is still the state of the art.
You wouldn't need it, what with being able to keep track of your customer on a 3 by 5 card.
It is truly disheartening to log in every Monday and see that the wife’s potion hasn’t kicked in yet… One can only hope-any day now…

His "experience" is useless--you can do it, and ACT is the gold standard of contact managment software. Nuff said.
Tell us Indy, did you cut your finger and exchange blood with the other dimbulbs?
Took a vow--how childish is that?[/quote]
About as childish as using an advisor forum to advance an anti-advisor platform, I suppose. Since this has become a forum for sparring, I'll come here to spar, but I'm not handing out anything of value on a forum that includes trolls like little willy and nancy/GGGR/et al.

There is a world of them out there. But first you must put down the mouse, get out of your seat, and walk out your front door. Its called socializing- and interacting with your two mutts dont count...

Jim, I don't know about rolling everything over from Outlook, but I do highly recommend Act for Advisors. You need the basic ACT software and then the Act for Advisors is an overlay that is customized for financial advisors and insurance agents. It's well worth the costs.
I use ACT with the Advisor overlay. Lots of useful tools and we did transfer information from Outlook and excel. We had the ACT team walk us through it, so not to lose any info.

Well, MOST forums have an edit feature, but I guess we're doing cost-saving.........
I posted it again for your benefit. Where's your friend, william1? Must be another one of your personalities, Sybil.......
