Oprius Review
Saturday, December 5, 2009 at 08:41AM When you own your own small busines, it falls to you - who's also the only employee - to keep track of customer communication. In starting my own business, I've been taking a look at all of the exciting advancements available out there to help me get my leads information under control.
Oprius is an excellent tool for those of you who have been in business for a while, or just about to start a marketing campaign with your current clients.
Oprius provides landing pages you can customize when you want to capture leads, and they're pretty easy to modify and maintain. But where the site really shines is with its sales contact features. There are several features that once you get your information stored in it can make for some really powerful sales tools.
Like so many of us in this industry, you've probably got several different kinds of businesses up and running. With Oprius, you don't need separate databases to keep them organized - all of your data go into one place, and you just stick labels on each of them; you can even cross-reference your contacts so they are under a variety of categories. Then, if you want to send out an email or other communication to just one group, you can simply choose that group - all your names are there. You can even choose which of your own email addresses to send it from. That's a huge plus in my book.
All of your communication is logged through Oprius, and are archived within each individual profile. You can bring up one client's profile and see a single snapshot of your entire contact history with that person. This is a great help when you're trying to personalize your emails as much as possible.
But, Oprius isn't just about email. There is also a handy notepad feature right on the screen so you can jot down any salient facts while you're speaking on the phone to remember for next time. This has been a lifesaver for me, who forgets things easily, more than once - and I don't have to remember to transfer the information later from a scrap of paper to the computer. It's saved automatically in that client's profile.
There are also other features, like calendars, action lists and follow-up alerts that ensure you never miss out on an opportunity for meaningful contact with your clients.
You have to pay monthly for the Oprius service, even though it's a low price. But I've worked in places where they have in-house customer management software, and not only does it cost a fortune; it is unwieldy and there are too many features. Oprius has pared it down for use by individuals and small groups, and has an easy-to-use interface. I highly recommend it for any kind of business where your bottom line depends on quality customer communication.
Contact me or go straight to Oprius for more information.
