Joe English

Territory Manager, DuChâteau

Long-Term Commitment: Over Two Decades of Trust in Act!

Joe English is the Territory Manager for DuChâteau, a lifestyle brand specializing in the fine manufacture and design of luxury architectural finishes, where he oversees regions like the Bahamas and the west coast of Florida.

Joe has been using Act! Since 1996 to manage his contacts and calendar, witnessing first-hand its evolution into today’s feature-rich, all-in-one CRM and marketing automation platform and making it his daily source of truth today. With over 3,000 contacts at his disposal, Act! helps Joe efficiently manage and organize them, ensuring he can easily retrieve information when needed.

The ability to sync emails, phone calls, and other communications all in one place has transformed how I operate and let’s me focus on what really matters—growing our business!

Tailored Customer Engagement: Enhancing Client Relationships

Working in the high-end flooring industry, Act! allows Joe to cater specifically to designers and architects by grouping contacts based on their preferences. Whether it’s segmenting clients who are interested in wood wall panels or managing leads, Act! helps him customize his approach.

Before Act!, managing customer interactions involved cumbersome binders and manual note-taking, which were prone to errors and missed follow-ups. Act! eliminated these challenges by providing a digital solution that keeps everything in one spot, with reminders and scheduling features that ensure no detail is overlooked.

This level of organization enables me to plan effective outreach, like setting up lunch-and-learn sessions with designers, which ultimately drives business growth.

Daily Productivity Boost: Utilizing Act!’s Comprehensive Features

On a daily basis, Act! helps Joe schedule appointments, track visits, and organize contacts by different segments like designers, architects, and dealers. The synchronization across devices means he can update information on the go, ensuring his records are always current.

Act! has made Joe more efficient, particularly in reporting and segmentation. Whether it’s pulling up a list of contacts in a specific area or providing detailed reports for his National Sales Manager, Act! makes it easy to access and deliver information quickly.

Unlike other tools, Act!’s comprehensive features ensure that no detail is missed, which is crucial for maintaining strong client relationships and driving sales.
