Every business has data. Lots of data. When you think about it, lots and lots of data. Your data can be your guiding light on the path of growing your business, or it can be the siren's wail that pulls you off course as you try to cope with this bit of information here, that bit over there, and that big pile of papers over there.

Elements SBM is your guiding light. It can not only show you your customers, it can show how your customers impact your business, and help you better utilize the resources that you have to make the most of your existing customer base.

Sound good? It gets better, as Elements SBM helps you manage your products, employees and leads. It can help you manage your finances, keep track of news on the Internet that affects your business, and even facilitate communication between your team without worrying about spam, viruses and other distractions that keep you from doing business.

How do you turn a lead into a customer? How many sales did you make in District A last month? Is your web site making or losing you money? By connecting the dots between your data, your resources and your processes, Elements SBM will help you answer these and millions of other questions.

You've poured your life blood into your business, and it's starting to grow. Congratulations! Unfortunately, with new opportunity comes new challenges. We know, we've been there. And we designed Elements SBM to be your managerial assistant, so that you can focus on what you do best.

We start with an On-Demand application that you can access from anywhere. On holiday in the South Pacific? Pop by an Internet cafe, log in to Elements SBM and see what your sales team is up to. Run across something at home related to one of your products? Kick the kids off of the iMac and file a quick report within Elements SBM -- everyone on your team will have access to it instantly.

To the beauty of a 24/7 always on system, we add genuine workflow that helps you intuitively. Got a lead? Put them in the system, providing as much or as little information as you have. Elements SBM will put them into your sales cycle, reminding you to contact the lead at just the right times. Did they buy something? Wonderful! They're turned into a customer automatically, added to your preferred sales contact cycle, the invoice is created automatically, and everything (including sales commissions, if you choose to pay them) flows right into the financial system.

You'll have access to real time financial data, more reports than you can imagine, and all the tools you need to take your business to the next level, or make life at the current level so much easier.

One of the joys of having employees is being able to count on them to deliver more to your bottom line. Of course, that's tempered with the demands on your time for keeping them on task, holding meetings, and all the overhead associated with managing a staff. Communication, which was once a simple matter of you talking to your customers, now takes on a new dimension as you struggle to roll out new product offerings, makes sales assignments and discuss business strategy.

Elements SBM steps in to bridge that communication and management gap. When your sales staff enters an order, the accounting system instantly has the numbers, the shipping department knows what needs to go out, and the system can automatically schedule a follow up call, or suggest other products that the customer may be interested in.

If someone enters an issue regarding one of your products, everyone who needs to know has access to that information. You can even assign the issue to a member of your staff to resolve or find a solution for, and track when it has been closed. Have a new offering? Add it to the system, and it is immediately available for sales, accounting and marketing!

Imagine a world where your remote sales staff connect from anywhere, at any time, and enter sales directly into the system, generate an invoice, and have that sale roll through to shipping (when shipped, you can even provide the customer a tracking number immediately!) and accounting.

That world is here, today, now. That world is Elements SBM.
