Great job Mike. Service Monster is a great asset to help run and maintain a business. Have you had a chance to demo it yet?

Cue Brian....

Re: Service mOnster demo/webinar in the Greenroom.

Still lovin it.
Nothing I can say that I haven't said already I guess.

I doubled my sales this March from last March. Not that Service Monster made that happen but it helped me keep track of where the jobs were coming from and will help me keep in touch with the jobs we have done.

Also, 64% Of the jobs in March were new customers and of course 36% were repeat. That tells me that my old customers haven't even come out of the woodwork yet. May was my biggest month last year so I am hoping that I see all those again this year.

From my QuickBook import I have all my info and now it's all in graphs and mainly on the front page of Service Monster.

I have recieved some of my thank you and reminder cards back because of no forwarding address (not that many) so I know they are getting sent and they are of the highest quality.

I can go on and on.
:wink:

Brian, that's remarkable. Most guys would pull this out of their you know what... "99% of my customers are repeat or referral". Tracking is the only way of knowing. Good for you!

Banana boy will have to be pretty hip to beat this Monster deal.

 

[Terry]

Re: Service mOnster demo/webinar in the Greenroom.

at what stage does it make sense to have this service 2 trucks, 3 trucks etc?

 

[Mikey P]

Re: Service mOnster demo/webinar in the Greenroom.

One truck if you ask me.


I've been using Camelot for 7 years and am real tired of it. It's basically falling apart.

They're not competitors. In fact a lot of guys I work with use ServiceMonster and I've talked with Joe several times. Good guys. Their "Fill My Schedule" program looks very promising.

 

[Mikey P]

Re: Service mOnster demo/webinar in the Greenroom.

Just f'n with you Scooter.


Their MEM type card deal sounds killer.

Cant wait to get it started.

 

[Mikey P]

Re: Service mOnster demo/webinar in the Greenroom.

I had a good talk with Joe the owner of SM tonight. Cool guy and very hip.
(I need to clue him in that name dropping the Hanks brothers around here wont do him any favors )



No other business software for our industry offers to export all my current client data on Camelot to their program.

That right there is the deal maker for me.


The auto send out cards for thank yous, birthdays and sales is huge as well.

The price is way more affordable than Camelot too.


I cant wait to get started.

I can finally get rid of my 9 year old computer now.

Re: Service mOnster demo/webinar in the Greenroom.

Done deal dude, who do you think you're talking to?

 

[Goldenboy]

Re: Service mOnster demo/webinar in the Greenroom.

If Brevik bought a banner ad. Would you say his POS Electro Mount is actually a good deal?

Golden Boy

 

[Mikey P]

Re: Service mOnster demo/webinar in the Greenroom.

I offered Terri a free banner here.

He turned it down.






Too cheap to buy the $40 software to make a banner with.

Re: Service mOnster demo/webinar in the Greenroom.

Man thats sad.

If he could figure out how to make one from a old floppy disk and a Motorola Teletak then he would go for it.

I used Camelot years ago...never did like it.

"The Green Room" as Mikey calls it is called "Club Greenhorn" and this is the link to get into Club Greenhorn http://www.ocibr.com/Club-Greenhorn.exe

With out this being in your main post Mikey I don't see many people figuring it out for them selfs.

Re: Service mOnster demo/webinar in the Greenroom.

Brevick uses a Peechee folder to keep track of his customer.

 

[Mikey P]

Re: Service mOnster demo/webinar in the Greenroom.

I put them in my Peechee folder.

 

[Brian R]

Re: Service mOnster demo/webinar in the Greenroom.

so will this service monster go the same way as ( Mickey approved)
Scratch dU gone or Smartdude.com
mickey was selling these off as winners too

I guess it worked so well for them they wanted to pay for banners?


"Better send me a Ya Sure You Betcha Shirt or I will stalk your electric TM posts for Life."


Golden Boy

No no no...this is BRIAN approved...so you know it's gotta be good.
I wouldn't peddle crap to you guys just to sell my soul for a few bucks.

Re: Service mOnster demo/webinar in the Greenroom.

I have been running service monster for 5 years now and its
the best thing I have ever done to my business. I too
converted from Camelot. Very smooth transition, all data converted
to the appropriate field.

 

[Mikey P]

Someone told me not all job history was transferred in their swap.

How far back did yours go Kevin?

btw, Tuesday night is a go, 7 pm pst.

 

[Brian R]

Re: Service mOnster demo/webinar in the Greenroom.

On my Quick Books it went back 5 years.

The one thing that I didn't get was my job source history.
But I still have that info on QB so I just add it as I go.

You know, I'm sorry some of the job history did not transfer correctly, all of the customer
info transferred from Camelot perfect. I transferred about 10,000 records from 1998 on. I kept
Camelot and I still have it in the event I need to look back at an old record. Its nice to have old
square footage and such so you don't have to measure again. The longer I use Servicemonster
the less I have to go back and look at Camelot, If at all after 5 years. You will still love the way you
can set up "Fields" with your old data and do mailings and marketing. Its been so long since I converted I
forgot. I also used Pacific turnkey systems "Profitmaster" before Camelot and think I had incomplete data
going from Profitmaster to Camelot, so that didn't help.
