Recreating an app invention in my CRM in one day
I just accomplished an exciting objective this morning where I created an "app" (as in "there's an app for that" - aka application) in my CRM (http://www.longJump.com) to handle the process of creating and sending US Postal mail for my "Birthday Party Sales Mailing" service clients.
I created a crude system using MS Access and Outlook about a year ago to run the then new service on. Now that I have signed many clients, I find my original solution does not scale. A part of my paper printing and direct mail sending process uses email.How exciting that in one day I was able recreate my invention and make use of my CRM's incredibly powerful system capabilities (ex: the CRM can send thousands of emails per MINUTE while I can send a few hundred per HOUR), eliminating massive bandwidth limits that my own "home-office" grade equipment presented.
