Price Estimator

Aug 3

Posted by Joe Abler in Marketing, Tips | No Comments

We hope everyone is enjoying the look and feel of the new Home Page and Knowledge Base sites!  Our previous site included the Price Estimator which was used by prospects and consultants alike to determine retail pricing.  Our new pricing page prompts firms that have 6 or more users/timekeepers to complete a brief intake form to receive a price quote.  This allows us to capture information to generate a lead.  We follow up with a custom quote to these firms and provide consultant contact information.  Firms with 5 or fewer users can use the Price Estimator on the web site, but they are also encouraged to request a custom quote so we can capture their lead information as well.  In addition to standard license costs, we now include subscription pricing for firms of this size.

For those of you that used the original Price Estimator to obtain retail pricing for all firm sizes, it is still available.  It’s located at http://support.tabs3.com/pricing/pricing_info.aspx with a link right here on eNews under Discount Rates | Pricing Calculator.  This link is intended for consultant use only.  Please do not share with prospects or clients.

Be sure to email DeAnna Masterson in our office if you happen to notice anything that doesn’t appear correctly on eNews, Knowledge Base, or our Home Page.

New Tabs3 Website!

Jul 19

Posted by Joe Abler in Marketing, PR / Announcements | No Comments

The new Tabs3 website is now live so check it out! We hope you like the changes and new modern look. We’re proud of all the work and effort that went into it. Be sure to let DeAnna Masterson know if you have suggestions or notice anything that doesn’t look correct.

You’ll notice on the new website that pricing is only provided for small firms. Mid-sized firms and larger will be required to fill out minimal firm information before they receive pricing which will allow us to capture more leads to share.  This Consultant Pricing Page link is for consultants only, and will take you to the original Price Estimator that includes pricing at all levels. This link will soon be available on eNews.

Email Template to use for lost Platinum Prospects

Jun 15

Posted by Joe Abler in Marketing | No Comments

Below is an email you should send to lost Platinum prospects that are solos and small firms regarding the reduction in subscription pricing. Price reductions go into effect today!

Subject: Good News Regarding Tabs3 Platinum Upgrades!

I recently heard from Dan Berlin, President and CEO of Tabs3. He let me know that they are reducing the price of monthly subscriptions for Tabs3 and PracticeMaster software by 20%!  This is a great way to access advanced features at a low monthly price. Use Tabs3 Connect to enter time from any device with an internet connection, HotBackup to back up your data any time, even schedule backups, and much more. Users on maintenance still receive 25% off in the first year, and 15% in the second year.

I would be happy to provide you with a demonstration as well as a quote if you are interested in learning more. Call me at XXX-XXX-XXXX, or email me at [email protected].

New Firm Welcome Packets

Sep 1

Posted by Joe Abler in Marketing | No Comments

As you know, we stopped sending out CDs with new orders.  We used to send out a few materials with CDs and we decided that even though we’re no longer shipping them, we will still send a welcome packet to every new firm.

The new welcome packet will be implemented in two phases. The first phase is already underway and the second phase will be implemented before Version 19. The content in these documents does not circumvent consultant services like training and support. We are only providing Tabs3 support contact information and links to helpful documentation.

The contents of the welcome packet are as follows:

  • Tabs3 pens
  • Letter from Dan Berlin
  • Nelco and ProPay integration sheets
  • Quick start guides
  • Tabs3 Installation Resources sheet

Instead of sending these packets to you and having you forward them to your clients, we will be sending these packets directly to the firm.

Changes to the Pricing Page

Jul 7

Posted by DeAnna Masterson in Marketing, PR / Announcements | No Comments

As of July 6th, our pricing page was changed to be easier for our clients and prospects to read and understand. You can view it here: http://www.tabs3.com/products/pricing_info.aspx

You’ll notice a few major changes:
• We swapped the columns and rows, so the level of software is on the top and the separate products are along the left side.
• We took off maintenance prices for the respective products and just have a total maintenance price under the total price.
• We also hyperlinked the software levels, so when you hover over them, it gives a brief explanation of what that level of software includes.

If you need any assistance with pricing, as always you can contact the Sales Team at 402-419-2200.

I’m excited to announce that we have a new webinar that promotes Platinum and HotBackups!

This 30-minute session will help our clients take a closer look at common backup concerns, how to create a backup strategy that is right for their firm, and learn about the built-in backup options in the software.

Clients can sign up here: www.tabs3.com/PlatinumWebinar.

As always, if one of your clients or leads signs up for the webinar, we will pass that lead on to you.
