Some industries where these routines have been applied are Direct Mail, Marketing Surveys, Internal Customer Files, Financial, Insurance, Government Agencies, Automobile Associations, Banking, Education, Transportation, Sales, Pharmaceutical, and United States Postal Service.
Why list my competitors, you ask? Because I want to make sure you make the best choice for
your needs! And, I want you, the client, to shop around, compare, and price the various
options you have. And, I believe I will be the best price you will find!
If I do not think I can handle your needs, I will tell you that up front and not
try to sell you something that will not work or waste your VALUABLE time!
Finally, my routines are tailored to fit your needs.
No need to buy or install modules that are not needed just because they are part of a
"complete software package solution" which may be priced too high for your needs!
