Clients & Profits X Online User Guide |
The
Sales letters window lists all of your follow-up letters,
as well as provides fields to enter new letters.
The Sales letters window is used to add new letters and edit existing ones.
All of the existing letters are listed in the letter Name column, while the
letter description and contents appear in the fields on the right.
The sales letters added here can be scheduled into sales campaigns. With online
approval and effective dates, theres no danger of using a letter that
isnt ready or is past its prime. When a sales letter is added for a client
contact, the letter will be printed for distribution on the appropriate date.
The letter name is used to identify it when adding it to a campaign, so make
sure it is meaningful. The description, a brief summary of the letter, appears
when scheduling campaigns so you can be sure the correct letter is being added.
How to add a follow-up sales letter
1 Choose My > My Clients to open the Client window.
2 From the Client window, click the Sales>Maker link,
then click the sales letters link.
3 Click the add toolbar
button (or choose Edit > Add letter).
4 Enter a name for this letter.
The letter name should be meaningful and help to easily identify it for scheduling
later on.
5 Enter the authors initials.
Clients & Profits X will automatically enter the initials of the person
entering the letter, but it can be changed.
6 Enter a description for the letter.
The description should provide more detail about the letter, such as what type
of client the letter is designed for or any special instructions or cautions.
When scheduling the sales letter as part of a campaign, the letter description
will appear underneath the campaign name so you can be sure that you are adding
the correct one.
7 Enter the letters effective dates.
The effective dates provide a reference as to when the letters should be used
(or not used).
8 Enter the sales letter.
The sales letter prints out exactly as it is typed in, so if you want to leave
room for jotting down notes during the phone calls, enter a few hard returns
between each letter section.

Clients & Profits X will automatically add the initials of the person who
checks the box.
