Field Service Management Software

Fred answers:

It’s always easier to sell to a pre-warmed customer, that is, someone who’s ready to buy. Prospecting is much harder. However, there are one or two things that can make it easier.

Referrals from existing customers are good. Ask who they know who’d also benefit from what you provide. One of the best times to ask is when they’ve just taken delivery of their software. Always ask for 3 referrals. That way you should get at least one.

Go to business networking events and build relationships with your fellow networkers. Tell them about the sort of companies you’d like to be put in touch with and ask who they have in their network that fulfils those criteria. You can also join online networking groups like Linked In and Ecademy.

When you’re cold calling and they say that it’s not the right timing, ask when they’re likely to be thinking about doing something about it. Make a note to call them back and make sure you follow up. Even when people say they’re going to buy something in the next 6 months, they often haven’t done anything within a year. By being in regular contact, your company will be the one that they think of when they’re ready.

Does your website capture people’s names and e-mail? Offer them a free report in exchange for their details. That way you build a database of potential customers. You can send them further e-mails and follow those up with telephone calls. Your free report should be something that gives them useful information. Avoid making it a plug for what you do.

Good luck!

I have to go with ‘Web-Based Software’ for service management software and here’s why…

First, what is web-based service management software anyway?

Web-Based Software is software you use over the internet with a web browser. You don’t have to install any CDs, download any software, or worry about upgrades. If you use an online bank or web-based email program like Gmail, Hotmail, or Yahoo Mail then you’ve already used web-based software before.

And why is it better for my business to use online service management software?

When you use web-based software you don’t have to worry about anything technical — you can just do your work. They handle all the security and uptime and backups and upgrades and “IT guy” stuff. You can stay focused on what you’re good at and they’ll handle the rest.

Web-based service management software is safer. With traditional software, employees save data on their laptops, USB drives, or portable hard drives. It’s not as safe as it sounds. Laptops are stolen, computers are rarely backed up properly, and it’s unlikely everyone’s machines are up to date with the latest security patches and updates. When you use our web-based software, your data is stored on secure, always-updated, backed-up daily enterprise-class servers in a state-of-the-art, highly-secure data center.

They walk the walk with you. They use their products every day. They store all their sensitive, confidential data on the same servers that their customers use. They trust their entire business to their products and security policies. You can feel comfortable that they’re walking the walk with you.

Everything together in one place. A key advantage to web-based service management software is that all your data is centralized and accessible over the web from any computer at any time. You can’t leave something on the wrong computer since everything is stored in one place on the web. You can get to it from anywhere. Safe, secure, and password protected, of course.

Your data from service management software is automatically backed up daily. Their backups are stored in multiple locations for additional redundancy. You could say their backups have backups. They’ve never lost anyone’s data and they won’t lose yours.

Your data is safe and secure. Their state-of-the-art servers are protected by biometric locks and 24-hour surveillance. Their software and infrastructure is updated regularly with the latest security patches. The traffic on their network flows behind an enterprise-class firewall to keep your data safe.

You’re always using the latest and greatest. Unlike traditional software that requires you to download and install updates yourself, their products are updated automatically. Whenever you use their products you’re always using the latest and greatest version.

There’s nothing to install using online service management software, ever. Just log in with the web-browser you already have (Internet Explorer 7, Safari, or Firefox). It’s just like your online bank or web-based email program.

You’ll never have to ask “Is it compatible?” Service management software used to only be available for certain platforms. There was Windows software, Mac software, etc. Their software works on any platform with a web browser and internet connection. Mac, Windows, Linux are all supported.

Everyone you trust has access to the data of your service management software. Since everyone you work with logs into the same centralized account, you have a single database with everything in one place. No more worrying about who has the latest information: Everyone has it.

You can work from home, work, or on the road. When you use web-based service management software your office is everywhere. At work, at home, a hotel, at a client’s office, even on your mobile phone. You data is accessible anywhere with internet access.

Our major problem was the inability of the customer to register complaints and reach us during odd hours. Eserviz has eliminated this by providing a 24×7 complaint registering mechanism and depending on the urgency, provides an automatic alert to the service engineer located geographically improving customer response time by over 60%. This apart, the cost per call has reduced by 30% and the efficiency of my field service team has improved by 40% using service management software.

I’m very picky and I’ve personally used Amember Pro ( http://www.amember.com/ ) to manage subscriptions on one of my sites. It does everything that you’re asking for – and more. Installation is included with the $179 purchase price.

The only thing you’ll need to do is answer questions from your subscribers – though a comprehensive list of frequently asked questions (on your site) would cut down some of that.

The goverment always wants it money. I think this holds true for all internet software sales in the state of Texas. I know you are hoping your license fee is not an actual software sale, but anytime someone pays you money for a service, the tax man will want his cut.

Texas Administrative Code
Title 34, Part 1. Chapter 3, Subchapter 0 State Sales Tax:
(3) Internet access service – a service that enables users to access content, information, electronic mail, or other services offered over the Internet and may also include access to proprietary content, information, and other services as part of a package of services offered to consumers. Internet access service does not include any other taxable service, unless the taxable service is provided in conjunction with and is merely incidental to the provision of Internet access service. Individuals providing Internet access should refer to §3.366 of this title (relating to Internet Access Services).

Your goal should be helping people, not making money.

The money will follow your success in helping people.

Most small business cease to exist within a year which is usually good for tax avoidance, therefore I would say that minimium accounting should be required – probably the easiest and most understandable would be to build you own using the most well known Spread Sheet program (which I think most people already have loaded in their PC or laptop).
Cash flow is essential to monitor and you could plot some easy to read graphs to show progress – often more revealing than a columns of figures or pages of accounts.

Looks like you need a shopping cart program. A free one would be something like OSCommerce or Zen Cart.
As for customer management software, you need a CRM program.
Some commercial all-in-one packages can integrate shipping, credit cards, CRM, and carts.
