CUT TO THE CHASE AND BUY THIS BOOK

ACT6! for Dummies is not only extremely informative, it is fun and easy to read. It is a great starting place to learn the many aspects of the program and it is a great reference once you are using the program regularly. If you can figure out how to use this program to its fullest by using the book supplied by ACT, you are probably not in sales, you have a lot of extra time on your hands, and you love to watch paint dry. Unless you are selling real estate in South Florida and one of my competitors, buy ACT6! for Dummies and get yourself on track fast.

Take me by the hand and show me everything

I'm not a computer buff so I bought this book and was gratefully taken through an overview of the basics of Act! 6 and then the details. It not only showed how to use Act! 6, but also how to maximize the use of Act! 6. The important thing about the book is that it is written for the reader (not in tech-speak), with a wonderful sense of humor. In fact, it's as if the author is right there with you as you go through and learn/use the program. After having used Act! 6 for a while, if I have more sophisticated needs, I look them up in the book and have the answer quickly and painlessly. I hesitated buying Act! 6 for a while, but once I bought the program, I also bought this book. Now I am a confident and effective user.

Excellent Book for ACT! Users at All Levels

As one of the leading ACT! trainers in the United States, I know what it takes to really teach people the program. And this book has it all. It's clear and concise, and the features are laid out in a logical fashion for incremental learning. The graphics are perfect references to the written text, and readers will have no trouble following along as they learn the features of the program. The author uses plain, descriptive language and doesn't get bogged down in "tech talk." If you want to learn ACT! on your own, this is the book for you!

My Clients Love It

I am a certified consultant for this software package and many of my clients rave about this book. They find it to be an excellent compliment to the other types of ACT! training and support available to them. New and experienced users alike will benefit from the material contained in the book because it has something to offer all types of ACT! users...everyone from the one-person business owner right up through a team of users sharing ACT! over a network. This book is like ACT! itself: a small amount of time and investment can yield very large returns and results.

Great product, great book

There is much more to ACT! than meets the eye. Perhaps because of its relatively small price tag I had no idea of how comprehensive the program is. The Dummies book gave me new insight into many great features I had previously overlooked.
