Rockledge Software has introduced cutting-edge software to allow your sales staff to spend more time selling and less time managing their presentations.
Powerful and easy to use
SalesPoint™ Map is simple enough that every rep will be able to
use it, but powerful enough that even your most demanding reps will find
all the features they need.
A simple wizard design allows you to build a complete proposal in four
steps.
Step 1. Choose the account you wish to build a proposal for.
Step 2. Select the map you wish to work with
Step 3. Plot your stores and choose your distribution types.
Step 4. Select your output type
Maps that fit the way you sell
Do you sell preprints or inserts by truck route? Got split zip codes
in your market? Do you have unusual preprint or insert zones? Want to
sell at the block group?
No problem! SalesPoint™ Map is designed to “think” in
the units you sell in. By designing our own maps instead of using a 3rd
party retailer, we have the ability to accommodate any selling style.
By using a series of tools like insets, blow outs, and special out of
market click boxes. We can support your selling style.
Gorgeous maps - no matter how close in you get
Our new mapping technology redraws the maps as you zoom closer into your desired view, showing additional roads when you're in close, but keeping the map clutter-free when you're further back.
Use it anywhere
Because SalesPoint Map is web-enabled, you can access your proposals from any computer with a connection to the internet. And because your data is password-protected, it's safe from prying eyes!
Three types of output
When you are finished with your proposal you can choose to;
1.) Print your proposal.
2.) Create an Adobe™ Acrobat PDF copy of your proposal for easy
emailing to your client.
3.) Create JPEG images of your proposal for use with Microsoft™ PowerPoint.
Automatically create insertion orders
Your finished proposals can be quickly turned into insertion orders
with the click of a button. Insertion orders can be;
1.) Printed
2.) Sent electronically to a system administrator
3.) Sent electronically to your business system
4.) Sent electronically to your circulation/insert management system.
We understand that the proposal isn’t the last step in the selling process. Hopefully, it’s just the beginning. With SalesPoint, a simple click turns your proposal into an insertion order, with all the information from your map already filled out! Simply enter any remaining information, click to create your output, and you’re done!
Want more? Orders can then be used as templates for future orders. Open a template, change a run date, and suddenly circulation values are updated. Add or subtract areas through an easy to use drag and drop interface. Routing tools let you address work flow issues like manager approval for late ads or credit checks.
Still want more? Ok, how about we integrate the orders so they electronically transfer into your accounting or packaging system? This feature will change your world. Imagine no more key punch errors, no lost orders. For some of our clients this has even meant a change in deadlines, which transfers to more selling time and more sales!
Track the heck out of it. If you do it in SalesPoint you can most likely track it. Track what areas are being sold the most, and the least. What product generates the most revenue? What day of the week is sold the most often? SalesPoint reports can be used to manage sales reps, analyze distribution areas, and even manage TMC mail costs.
Powerful features in an easy-to-use package!
Schedule combines a simple but complete set of features with an easy-to-use interface, allowing your reps complete control over your advertiser’s schedules, while providing intelligent recommendations to help maximize the efficiency of their campaigns.
Even the most experienced sales rep will appreciate the tools available in SalesPoint Schedule. Not only does the interface keep each important detail about their advertiser’s schedule accessible at all times, it provides intelligent recommendations to ensure that your reps are delivering results that are beneficial to both the customer and the newspaper.
Create a complete proposal in seconds!
Some scheduling software requires you to step through multiple windows to develop an advertising schedule. If you make a mistake in one step, you often won’t know until the full proposal is completed.
With SalesPoint Schedule, all the aspects of the schedule are accessible and customizable at all times. Not only does this speed up proposal production, it allows you to make modifications to your recommended plan, and see them reflected in real time!
A true rate engine – not a rate look-up table
Your newspaper’s rate cards can get complicated, especially when you’re dealing with the nuances of an advertiser’s specific needs. No matter how complex your rate structure, SalesPoint Schedule can handle it. And because we use a true rate engine, contract levels, Co-Op dollars, color and other premiums are handled on-the-fly while you’re customizing the campaign. No calculator necessary!
Intelligent recommendations when your reps need them most
What if there was an easy way to instantly find out if your advertiser’s dollars would be more efficient in a higher contract level? Would you like a way to let your sales team know of upcoming deadlines, specials, premiums, and products without having to rely on an email that could be lost in the shuffle?
SalesPoint Schedule features the Info Center dashboard – a prominently-placed billboard that shows your reps cost-effective contract upgrades to recommend to the customer, recommends special sections, suggests color options, and possible online strategies.
The best part? Your reps see this information right when they need to: as they’re building the ad campaign!
Output formats to meet every need
Sometimes you can’t deliver your proposal in person, and in other cases, you want to add your proposal to a slide presentation. To accommodate every situation, SalesPoint Schedule allows you to output your schedule details as a printed document, an Acrobat® PDF, or JPEGs that can be imported into PowerPoint® slides.
