Sales

Save time, Close more sales

One of the biggest challenges of any business today is having real visibility into the sales pipeline, increasing sales productivity, and reducing the overall cost of sales. Maximizer Enterprise enables your sales staff to manage, track, communicate, and report through all phases of the sales cycle so they can work more efficiently and close more sales.

Only Maximizer Enterprise enables you to view the big picture and the details, so you can leverage each customer opportunity and maximize your total revenue. It is also easy to use so sales people spend less time on administrative tasks and more time on selling.

Increase selling time
Automate sales lead distribution, schedule individual and team appointments, and assign Hotlist task reminders, to ensure the best leads are acted on quickly. Then view your customer's entire account history and send template-based quotes, proposals, and emails. You can even ease into using Maximizer Enterprise by interchangeably using it with Microsoft® Outlook™ for email and calendaring.

Close more sales with successful sales strategies
Improve your close ratio by defining and recording successful sales procedures in the Strategy Library, then repeating it in new sales Opportunities. Accurately create your sales forecasts by evaluating your probability of close from your own criteria.

Manage Opportunities from lead to close
Concentrate your sales teams on the right Opportunities at the right times and view the complete picture of your pipeline by carefully managing sales steps from lead to close. Ensure sales success by assigning a proven strategy to an Opportunity and automatically assigning Hotlist tasks so the proper steps are taken.

Forecast, analyze, respond… quickly
Reduce the time sales staff spends on generating reports so they can focus on selling. Concentrate on what's working by viewing graphical reports that show trends and patterns. Access more than 125 preformatted reports or create your own reports to analyze revenue forecasts, sales pipeline, customer profiles, and account activities.

Customer Service & Support

Increase efficiency, Improve customer satisfaction

Successful businesses compete on the basis of their customer relationships. Once you attract your customers, consistent, rapid response to customer issues will be the foundation for keeping your customers loyal. It is far more expensive to acquire a new customer as it is to retain an existing one.

Manage and resolve customer service incidents
Enable customer service representatives to track and respond to service inquiries such as billing, RMAs, and technical support quickly. View all details of customer service incidents, including case number, assigned rep, follow-up deadline, status, and priority. Assign and escalate issues to the appropriate expert or manager in the company with automatic creation of Hotlist tasks and email alerts. Easily customize to your business and track customer service level agreements (SLAs) to ensure service contracts are renewed on a timely basis.

Resolve issues faster with the Knowledge Base
Empower your staff and arm them with updated, accurate information to answer your customer's toughest questions by sharing technical articles, FAQs, and other important customer service information in the Knowledge Base. Information is a click away with fast keyword searching - send the article to the customer, or enable online self-service with access to your Knowledge Base through your Customer Portal.

Track and Report on all Support Activities
Increase staff efficiency and ensure total customer satisfaction with timely reports and graphs on case status, case workload by representative, incident details, and more. Make faster decisions by viewing real-time information on unassigned and overdue cases with access to pre-formatted reports and graphs.
