When Account Numbers are Not Unique

7/25/2020

0 Comments

 
There are a few cases where manufacturers will send out sales and commission reports with Account Numbers that are not unique, with more than one customer or location represented by a single number.  Some examples include:
  • Multiple branch locations, such as individual retail locations with a central billing location.
  • Trace sales reports that show the End Users to which goods are shipping.
  • Design house that uses contract manufacturers in their OEM products.

For these case, the Account Number being used by the manufacturer doesn't track to the location within the Rep Agencies territory, or necessarily to the same sales rep as might be assigned the main billing location.  It is, of course, important to get the correct location and correct sales rep for each Invoice, especially in cases where bonuses or split commissions are paid based on those sales.

CRM in the Pandemic Era - Part 3 - Tracking Projects

7/21/2020

0 Comments

Change is the new normal.  We're all dealing with the chaos of change brought on by the coronavirus pandemic, and learning to adjust to new rules.  For many, one of these rules is a change in work location - home (WFH).  Adapting to a new work environment can be very challenging and stressful. 

Surprisingly we've learned from a UK study, that while all generations are finding it challenging to work from home, Millennials and Gen Zs are having an especially hard time adjusting to remote work.  Without a formal office structure they find themselves less productive, more disorganized, unsure how to prioritize tasks, and feeling disconnected from their co-workers.  They also feel left out of the loop on daily company activities and find it more difficult to give or get project updates.

Disaster Planning 2020

6/12/2020

If you were caught off guard by the Coronavirus and your company disaster plan didn't include how to deal with a health pandemic, you were not alone.  Even emergency preparedness agencies worldwide were not prepared for a disaster of the magnitude of the Coronavirus.

However it's never too late to revisit and revise your disaster plan or, if you don't have one, develop a plan.
  
In 2017 "Be Red Cross Ready with Disaster Planning" was written to remind rep firms to develop a disaster plan if they didn't already have one.  Although the business disasters discussed did not include a health pandemic, the basic steps for planning are still valid.

​When starting your plan, identify each type of disaster you could face.  One plan does not fit all disasters.  Make sure your written plan is clear and concise so everyone knows what is expected of them before, during, and after disaster strikes.

CRM in the Pandemic Era - Part 2 - Tracking Preferences

6/3/2020

The first in the "CRM in the Pandemic Era" blog series, "Tracking New Guidelines", talked about the challenges facing on-the-road reps now that the economy and businesses are starting to re-open.  Step Once was to implement or set up a disaster plan to navigate through the pandemic crisis.  An important part of your plan is to use your CRM System to keep all team members informed of the various guidelines set by government - local, regional, statewide, and/or national - and by each individual company in Phase 1 of the re-opening. 

Some areas of the country are now moving to Phase 2 of their re-opening plans and many of the guidelines from Phase 1 are changing.  Staying abreast of the continual updates can be confusing and time consuming.  Utilizing and sharing the information in your CRM system keeps everyone in your agency up-to-date on the changes.

Once you have captured the latest rules and regulations for doing business, you need to start tracking your contacts' preferences for communicating and doing business.

CRM in the Pandemic Era - Part 1 - Tracking New Guidelines

5/18/2020

0 Comments

​Now more than ever you need a great Customer Relationship Management (CRM) database.  The way we interact with our customers, prospects, and users has dramatically changed.  The new normal [or (ab)normal as I’ve heard it called] for doing business is changing state by state (some states - city by city, or region by region), and week by week.  It can get complicated if you're on the road making calls.  That is if anyone is even on the road these days.  

Some businesses are shut; some are open but their physical office is not open and their employees are working remotely; some are open with employees in the office, but not allowing visitors or vendors into their building; some are open with no changes.  And each business has it’s own guidelines that their employees must follow.  Eventually it all becomes one big jumble.

CHANGE is the New Normal

5/13/2020

Pandemic, flatten the curve, essential business, social distancing, Zooming, Zoom-bombing, WFH, doom-scrolling, - these are just a few of the new slang and vocabulary terms that are infecting our lives along with COVID19.  The normalcy of hanging around the water cooler to catch up on the latest happenings, stopping by a co-workers desk to show them the latest figures, taking a customer or prospect to lunch, traveling to a conference is now on-hold.  In just a few short months CHANGE has become the new normal.  We're all having to learn new ways of living and working and continually adjusting to the next wave of CHANGE.   

Businesses are starting to reopen and along with this CHANGE we're learning new ways to interact with business associates, teammates, co-workers, friends, and even family.  Face masks are required and social distancing is creating challenges inside and outdoors.  All of these CHANGES have increased our reliance on technology.  We're now working from home and holding virtual meetings for just about everything.

New Team Pricing Package for MRSweb

4/2/2020

0 Comments

 
After the great response to our newest version of the MRSware browser-based interface, MRSweb, we are pleased to release it for everyone.  With this release, one in which a much greater number of the features of the traditional MRSware Desktop software are available via web browser, on both desktop and mobile devices,  we are pleased to also feature a new Price Package "Team" edition.

The Team package focuses on smaller businesses with 1 to 4 users, providing the essential features that agencies need to track their multi-line sales and commission numbers.  We are doing away with per-User fees for this package, and instead have a single, low price that includes up to 4 Users and 4 Sales Territories.  

Details on the new package are available on our Pricing page.  And, of course, all existing and new Users of the Business and Plus Packages also have access to and enjoy all the new features in the MRSweb interface.

3 Ways to Do Anything

9/27/2019

​During our training sessions we mention, and I often reiterate or hear repeated to me, the comment "there are so many ways to do the same thing in your software".  It is true.  The reason why was just reinforced yet again when I was working with other software -- that software was designed based on the way people work, or the way most people work, or the way the designers thought most people worked, but woe be you if you yourself don't work that same way.

iOS 13 Mail app Issue Downloading Email (resolved in iOS 14)

9/23/2019

3 Comments

 
iOS update to version 13 has been released.  It has come to our attention that a bug was introduced in their update that is causing their Mail app on the iPhone to not be able to download emails from Users' Mailboxes.  ZDNet confirms accounts by some users experiencing this issue.

The next expected update to iOS version 13.2 is scheduled to be released on 9/24/2019.  For those users that are experiencing this issue, there are a couple of options that work to replace the built-in iOS Mail app:
  • webmail.eyond.net
    Our webmail site is already set up and ready for use.  Just open Safari on your mobile device, enter the URL, and login with your Email Address and Mailbox Password (the same you use on your phone).

    Users can also add a Shortcut to the iPhone Home page for the site, and/or Bookmark it for easy reference.

  • Use another Email App, such as Outlook for iOS
    Outlook on iOS has been tested and works well to connect to users' MRSware Mailboxes.  Make sure to select "use custom settings" and "IMAP" when adding your account.  The settings are the same you used with the iOS Mail app.

Hopefully, the next iOS update resolves these initial update issues, but if not and in any case, you do have options.  And all of these options can be setup and used interchangeably, so that you always have access to your email no matter what one app might do or errors an update might cause.
