How long until I can start using MartialSoft? |
Top |
Installation takes less than 15 minutes. Complete the setup process and
within a few short hours, users are ready to enter students. We recommend
printing out the Operations and Quick Reference Guide on the CD and filling
out the setup worksheets before you begin setup (see page 12). Thinking through
the process first will make everything go much faster once you start typing.
On top of that, all MartialSoft purchases include SmartStart Training to help
you get off on the right foot. SmartStart Training includes installation if
the software is not already installed, covers individual training and provides
expert answers to any questions. Follow the step-by-step instructions for set up,
entering new contracts, daily usage and use of the major functions.

How does MartialSoft help with my marketing efforts?
|
Top |
There are several ways that MartialSoft can help you improve your marketing
success!
- "Expenses by Source" (the marketing report) shows the contacts
you've made in a given period, where they came from and how much
money was spent in a particular marketing category. This gives you
a cost-per-contact breakdown and helps you figure out where your
advertising dollar is best spent.
- In "Tasks–Prospect Marketing," you can easily see your recent prospects
and view their status. You can make calls and send letters from one screen.
- The calendar function helps you stay on top of your sales leads
by creating a simple to-do list or follow-up list. Determine how you
want to follow-up with each contact: whether a first week follow-up
call or a second week thank you letter, MartialSoft's calendar can tell
you who to contact and how to reach them on a daily, weekly or monthly basis.

Does MartialSoft offer any tools to manage testing schedules?
|
Top |
MartialSoft has many unique testing features. MartialSoft's Testing module allows you to
track and plan testing dates, pinpoint who is ready to test, and track who has paid their
testing fees. The Testing module can print letters, certificates, reports, worksheets
and simplify belt orders. You can print belt labels with the student's name, belt color
and size to help match the right belt with the right student. Every award ceremony runs
smoother with MartialSoft. MartialSoft can also automate tests based on criteria set
by the user geared to your style of teaching or that of your association.
