I couldn't find anyone who had bought it for review so I took a chance on it, thinking bridgepoint would not put their name on something crappy. I was wrong. Actually not so much that it's crappy as that there is just not much to it. You couldn't tell what it would come with and the guy at interlink hadn't seen it before.
Anyway what you get is 10 copies of 1, four page brochure. This brochure is pretty nice but would only be good for large to very large buildings. It is the only marketing piece that comes in the package. No postcards, flyers, sales letters, etc. It also promotes in the flyer bridgepoint products. Which I don't care for because I don't use bridgepoint products exclusivly and I wouldn't want people questioning why I'm not using what is in my brochure. Not to mention I want to build MY brand with logos, company name, etc. NOT bridgepoints.
You get a powerpoint presentation. Like the brochure it's nicely done but I don't like it for the same exact reasons (branding bridgepoint, geared only for very large buildings, etc)I don't like the brochure. I don't feel that I would ever use the powerpoint even if I loved everything about it.
You get three excel spreadsheets for calculating quotes. These are basically the only thing in the program that I feel would have any value for my business and they are nothing special. In fact they look very similar to the quote sheets I'm curently using with the only advatage being that my current ones are not in excel so I have to manually do the math.
It comes with a folder with all the pictures that they used in the powerpoint and brochures so you can use them to make up your own materials. Some of these would be useful to someone who wants to design their own stuff. Some of them but not all feature bridgepoint products.
That is pretty much it. NO contracts of any kind. No postcards, NO sales letters, NO flyers other than a four page brochure.
Based on the thumbnails of Rick's program that he has on his site I would say it's a much better program, not to mention it's cheaper.
