When
You Have To Make An Important Call-Back Has This
Ever Happened To You? . . . . . . YOU FORGOT
Here’s The Scenario:
You have
to make a number of phone calls for a project. Maybe
it’s cold calls or just a series of business calls.
Does this sound familiar?.
. . .”Is Charlie in?” “He’s on the phone
right now would you like to leave a message?” “No,
I’ll call back in 10 minutes.” Somehow you
space it off, get side-tracked on something else, forget
to look at your notes, whatever the reason, before you
know it, you forgot until the next day it hits you.
You were supposed to call back Charlie and that opportunity
is lost or detoured until you can get a hold of Charlie
again.
Or this, “Is
John in?” “He’s out to lunch he’ll be back in
about two hours.” “Ok, I’ll call back.”
But do you remember? And On time? Did
a big deal hinge on that phone call? Was it time
sensitive? On and on it goes. .
He’s in a meeting. She’s
out of town until tomorrow. He’s out sick today.
How
do you handle call backs? Write them down? Store
it in your super memory? Put it in your Contact
program which requires a great deal of inputting on
your part. No matter what they say plain old paper works
faster and better but it has a problem. It can’t
tap you on the shoulder and say, “Hey, make this call.”
And that is exactly what Total Re-Call does but
it does it Quick & Easy.
How Total Re-Call
was Born
I finally had it up
to here with forgetting my important calls. I
had lost major deals because I forgot the call back
and the person left town or already make a deal with
some else who did call back. After hitting my forehead
with the Palm of my hand one day I said, “This is crazy
there has got to be a better way.”
I looked around at
all the Pocket PC programs and found nothing out there
that fit the bill. So I bought some development
software and developed Total Re-Call for my Pocket PC
for my own personal use. It worked so well
that when I showed it to friends of mine they asked
if they could get a copy. They loved it too.
Because it’s so easy to use. Very little
input. Every record has an alarm attached to it.
When it’s time for my Re-Call it pops up and it
looks like this on my Pocket PC screen, “Call
John at 555-3689 REASON: He was at lunch”
That’s all I need to
know. Now, I call John AT THE RIGHT TIME
and ask him when he’s going to take me to lunch. When
Bob says, “call me back in 10.” I don’t forget
now and call him back two hours later to find out he’s
left for the day.
Total Re-Call also
has a scribble area. An area where you can quickly
handwrite a note to yourself. “Tell him about
the profit margins.” “Setup meeting for next week.”
“He’s got the money.” Between you
and me, the less I have to use the micro keyboard on
the Pocket PC the better.
Quick,
And Easy Is The Hallmark Of A Great Application And
Total Re-Call Is The Ultimate Quick And Easy Application..
Here are some of
the features of Total Re-Call.
When you input the person’s name, and phone number you
can obviously tap the Save button or you tap the New/Clear
Form button. Tapping the New/Clear Form button automatically
saves the information PLUS you are instantly ready to
input your info for the next Re-Call. This is
great for cold calling where you are busy calling and
concentrating on your work and don’t want to hit Save
after every input. (Quick & Easy)
If you call a person
a lot there Name and Number can be pulled from the database
by simply taping the List Icon and tapping there record.
(Quick & Easy)
Drop-down list box (no typing) of the most common “Reasons”
to call someone back. (Quick & Easy)
If the Reason isn’t on the Drop-down list (such as,
“at a funeral”) you can quickly handwrite it in the
Scribble box and get on with the rest of your
calls (Quick & Easy)
You can start the Re-Call program let it work in the
background while you work in other programs and your
“Call Back Alarms” will still notify you of the call
you have schedule to make. (Quick & Easy)
To set an alarm is a two or three tap process.
If it’s minutes till call back, two taps
and your done. If it’s hours till call back, it’s
still two taps and your done If it’s a different
day it’s three taps and your done. Hours and Minutes
are all drop-down no typing required. (Quick
and Easy)
