McDonald) Distribution: na Organization: SWBT / Network Engineering, San Antonio Lines: 30 Keywords: sales software pc Summary: Need software suggestions for run-at-home sales business I am posting this for a friend: -------------------- Maybe you can help me. What I am looking for is commercially available software that will allow me to run my business out of my home. What I am interested in is software that will help me as a salesman for a mid-size company on the West Coast. I am just getting started, so I am not all that familer with what is out there. The things that I am looking to be able to keep track of on my computer is my personal expenses ( for reimbursement and tax purposes), appointments, phone numbers, and outstanding jobs. I also need a word processor so that I will be able to create different form letters and also be able to keep up correspondance with the home office. In other words, what I am looking for is: If were going to be a salesman working out of your own home and you don't have much experience in PC's, what software would you use to keep track of costs, appointments, letters, etc.? What is the ultimate package, or packages, that would allow me to 'get my act together'? ------------------ Please email directly to me and I will forward to my friend. Thanks ---
