For IT Consultants

Strengthen Ties with Your Clients

• Are you an IT Consultant?
• Do you work with Small-Medium Businesses?
• Do you want to strengthen relationships with your Clients?

You know how to set up companies' networks and keep them in working conditions. You can install software on their computers. You can train their staff in using office software and much more. You already know way too much for one person to hold in their head.

And because your clients know you for a long time and trust you, they now want you to set up their customer database. You want to help and you do not want them to go to another IT company. But you are not a database developer! How can you do it without losing credibility? and with profit for yourself?

You may have an associate who is an Access programmer. You can refer the business to him and charge the referral fee. But will he deliver what your client want? What if he doesn't and ruins your reputation in process? And if he is successful, next time they will go straight to him. And what if that programmer has a closer association with another IT company? It may start encroaching on your territory, slowly, almost imperceptibly, but surely nevertheless.

Are these risks worth the referral fee? Would not you rather do the job yourself? - if only you could do it quickly.

This is Where We Can Help.

We have the technology and wherewithal to help you turn this situation around, get the client what they want and make money for yourself. What's more - this won't cost you a cent.

Our technology is Simply Contacts Database - a flexible database program that can be tailored to the needs of various businesses. Without programming, you can configure the system to do anything from a simple customer list to a full order management system, from a mailing list to a fully functional marketing database, from an address book to a CRM. The variety is huge; we just need someone who understands the client business, on one hand, and our software, on the other.

This is where you come into picture. As a consultant to your client, you already know their needs and wants, are in regular contact with them, so it won't be difficult for you to customize our software for their business. And you can charge them for the value you add.

Let's consider a short example. Bob's Carpet Cleaning company wants a basic job tracking system to know their customers, track when they last cleaned the premises, follow-up six months later to get the next order. Industry-specific packages cost around a thousand dollars; a custom-programmed system in Access will probably cost even more. Simply Contacts Database (Customers+Sales) costs $188, but it does require some customization such as setting up extra fields and making an invoice template. Why not customize it and sell to Bob for $600, pocketing the difference? If you know how the company operates and understand the software, it will be a profitable job for you. It is still a great value for money for your client. And, most important of all, it will enhance the relationship between you and your client.

Why can't Bob from our example download a trial version and customize it himself? He can, but he would rather have you do it for him:

• you have a better understanding of systems and computers than the business owner
• you would be already familiar with the software and confident it can accomplish the task
• he has more faith in you, with whom he deals regularly, than in a software vendor from the Web

Why, of all database programs available on the market, should you learn Simply Contacts Database as your technology of choice?

• It is very, very flexible. You want to acquire knowledge that you will be able to re-use over and over again, generating additional income for little or no time investment. Our software delivers just that. Whether the database stores a hundred or a hundred thousand records, includes a bare-bone functionality or a fully integrated CRM and marketing system, it has the same look-and-feel, operates on the same principles and utilizes the same technology.
• It is really easy to customize. Most programs nowadays consist of the main software and add-on modules. To install add-ons, you need to install the main program and then the add-ons. How much work is that? and you can't try them, either. With SCD, you simply select the modules you want and this website calculates the price and generates a customized installation program. Could it be any easier?
  With most customizable software, you need to change the layout of screens to accommodate the new fields you just added. Not with Simply Contacts Database. You simply enter your fields into the system and all the screens and reports are automatically adjusted.
• And the last, but not the least - we want to work with you. Not every software company wants to enlist IT consultants as their value-adding resellers. Most of those who do have already established brands and distribution networks and really busy help lines and development teams. We don't sit idle either, but as a new player on the market, we are motivated to give you the most important thing any VAR would want from their vendor:

Excellent Support

• We listen to your feedback and act on it.
• We fix problems quickly. Most issues are resolved within one business day, although some may take longer.
• We invest in our support service.

Problems could happen with any software program, especially a customized one. They could occur because of an old version of the operating system, different version of office software or because the system is not used correctly. The last thing you would want is have your customized system installed on the client computer and not working for some obscure reason. How can a vendor located many miles away assist in solving the problem? We have invested time and money to ensure we can always help:

• Our software maintains log files. In many cases, sending us a log file is enough to diagnoze the problem.
• We have developed original technology that allows us to patch the software remotely.
• Finally, we purchased the system that allows the user connect to our support machine and show us precisely what happens on his or her screen. Rather than wasting time on explanations, the users simply show us where the probem is and we fix it on the spot.

Other Benefits

If we successfully work together on a number of projects, you will also enjoy:

• Commission. We will pay 20% commission on your second and subsequent sales.
• Direct communication with developer. We will take an extra step, such as developing customized modules, to make you successful.
• Business referrals. We often get asked about distributors in various areas and would be happy to refer business to you, link to your site etc.

If all of the above makes sense to you, there is just one thing left:
