Modern Properties Selects ACT! By Sage to put Sales Enquiry Conversion on Fast Track

Online, June 14, 2010 (Newswire.com) - New Delhi, India, 1st June 2010: Sage India today announced that Modern Properties has selected ACT! By Sage as their Contact and Lead Management solution. The company was looking for a CRM solution which could provide a complete overview of the customer in terms of their contact details, communication and interaction history and at the same time giving the sales executive the ability to stay on top of their daily schedule in terms of their daily activities and tasks. Modern Properties is currently using a 20 user pack of ACT! Premium.

Prior to implementing ACT!, excel sheets were used to maintain the customer and sub broker database which proved to be a cumbersome affair because searching for the right property as per custom requirements of the customer became very difficult. ACT! maintains a complete property master and provides a powerful search mechanism which enables the executive to search for the most apt property as per the buyer needs based on metrics like Budget, Location, Time Frame and Purpose- buying, selling or renting.

ACT! allows the user to log and track each enquiry till closure. Using the contacts module it is possible to record all requisite information like demographic details and details in relation to purchase, sale or renting of the property. The activity module enables users to schedule activities such as follow-up calls, document submission and site visits for each enquiry and set reminders through pop-ups to ensure that no enquiry is left unattended. ACT! also allows users to record the source that the enquiry has come from thereby providing precious information on the reach and conversion potential of each marketing activity. Mail merge feature of ACT! allows the marketing team to send personalized communication to the relevant target audience which improves the chances of lead conversion.

Mr. Amit Kochar, Managing Director, Modern Properties stated- "We were looking for a system that could provide us a consolidated view of our customers and provide us with the ability to send personalized communication. We need to keep a tab on minute details of our customers like birthdays and anniversaries as it positively impacts our business, ACT! enables us to do just that." He further stated "With ACT! we are able to track sales enquires seamlessly which has improved our sales conversion ratio."

Once we understood the business requirements we were able to configure the application and deploy the same within a few days.
