Implementation of a typical customer relationship management (CRM) system can take weeks (and sometimes months) to complete. However, AIMpromote claims to have customer relationship management implementation for your entire organization up and running in a matter of days.
One major advantage of the AIMpromote system over other CRM software is that it doesn't have the unnecessary and confusing options. These are completely eliminated so that your marketing staff won't have to spend unnecessary time on it and get on with the marketing job.
A properly configured AIMpromote account will require that only key administrators have full access, and other users will use only specific pieces of the software. This of course can be changes at any time. In other words, your sales force in a position to focus more on making sales, and less on learning software.
In fact AIMpromote is setting new standards in online sales management software and is changing the way that businesses are managing their sales teams.
You can try it out (full featured version) for 14 days, if you sign up now.

Monkeys and their bananas
Wanted to share this nice story forwarded to me, with your guys.
Put five monkeys in a cage. Put a ladder in the cage with a bunch of bananas at the top. As soon as one monkey starts to climb the ladder, spray cold water on all the monkeys. When another tries to climb, spray cold water on all the monkeys again. Soon, no monkey will attempt to climb the ladder.
Now, remove one monkey and put a new monkey in the cage. The new monkey will see the bananas and try to climb the ladder. Not wanting to be sprayed with cold water again, the other monkeys will quickly pull him down.
Remove a second monkey and put a new monkey in the cage. Again, the new monkey will see the bananas and try to climb the ladder. Not wanting to be sprayed with cold water, the other monkeys will quickly pull him down.
Repeat this process until all five original monkeys are gone, and five new monkeys are in the cage. None will try to climb the ladder, and none will understand why.
Now, remove all five monkeys and put a brand new monkey in the cage. The monkey will quickly climb the ladder and eat the bananas. Don't spray any cold water.
Put the five original monkeys back in the cage with the one brand new monkey who has tasted the delicious bananas. Replenish the bananas.
The brand new monkey will again climb up the ladder. Despite the efforts of the older monkeys to hold him down, the brand new monkey has tasted the bananas, he will strive again until he succeeds.
When he succeeds, the other five monkeys will realize that bananas are worth the climb, and worth the risk of some cold water. They, too, will climb the ladder and enjoy the delicious bananas.
Moral of the story ?
- Fresh perspective is important to continue growth and success.
- A little cold water can destroy a lot of motivation.
- New staff tend to take on the behavioral characteristics of your existing team members. Therefore, be sure your new hires are coached and mentored by the best of your existing team.
- Trying something new can yield delicious rewards.
If you are the boss of an organisation, it's something worth thinking about.

Google acquires Tonic Systems
Google recently announced that they have acquired Tonic Systems, which is based in based in San Francisco, US and Melbourne, Australia. They bring technology related to presentation creation and document conversion.
Google already has online Documents and Spreadsheets. I really find it convenient to open attached documents from my Gmail account and most of all the fact that I can share and collaborate with others online. The ability to make and collaborate on presentation slides would be a welcome addition. It is expected to come out this summer. Yet another addition to the Google family.

Detecting wireless interference sources
I have a wireless network in place in my house and was really shocked to learn that interferences can arise from various electronic gadgets in the house including microwaves, cordless headsets, cordless phones, bluetooth devices, etc. The items that cause interference are both 802.11 and non 802.11 devices.
More important is the fact that interference can affect your Wifi LAN security. With wifi networking becoming so common, there is a need to understand sources of of wireless interference. I would like to point out that the Farpoint Group, a leading wireless advisory firm, has validated industry research on the effects of interference, pointing out the importance of finding out sources of interference.
In case you are in charge of Wireless Networking in your organisation, take a look at the Cognio products that can detect rogue access points and network jammers. Their spectrum analysis tool classifies and identifies sources of wireless interference.
