Bells and Whistles
By Jim Flack

How much of the ProfitMaker system do you actually use? There is a high percentage of ProfitMaker operators who do not take full advantage of the system. Special features can help you navigate the system in an organized manner. For example, have you used a toolbar icon to look at AR History for a customer? This is available in multiple places throughout the ProfitMaker system. This includes the Customer Master and Cash Receipts. Not using all of the tools provided as part of the ProfitMaker System is like driving your car and not using the radio.
