Getting use of the CRM Book in HireTrack NX for tracking leads or opportunities
2020-05-11 09:30 - 10:30 (America/Chicago)
Many companies employ many different methods for tracking leads or opportunities, including programs like SalesForce™, ACT™, Zoho™, etc. The challenge has always been that data stored over “there” needs to be re-entered in HireTrack. By using the same address book from HireTrack for both leads and Jobs, we have simplified the process and have kept the important data in one place.
This webinar will demonstrate to you how to begin using the CRM module to enter your leads and set up reminders to follow up with your opportunities. We will investigate pipeline values and how to generate reports. We will also look at The HireTrack NX Notebook and it’s connection to the CRM module.

This year sees Navigator Systems returning to the PLASA Show after an absence of a number of years – the reason for this – quite simply visitors to the PLASA show wanted to see, touch and play with the latest tactile technology, whether that was the latest lighting or sound desk, FX or staging equipment – software was something to be played with at home or in the office on one of those “quiet” days.
However things have now changed, rental businesses are realising more and more that they need to use the best Rental Management Software if they’re going to be able to manage their jobs, track all their equipment and successfully report back to their investors information such as the ROI of their rental stock.
