Announcing the next development in our drive to help FOB users exploit the Internet.
The centre piece of our strategy for Front Office Box is a combination of resources helping users exploit the Internet. We haven’t talked about this much because quite what the starting point would be, and which tools we might use, hasn’t been that clear. But in the background we have been working hard at figuring it all out. Now we’re ready to explain what this means for our users, how it will help them do more business at lower costs, and how we’ll provide it.
We’re calling it the Front Office Box Pro-Zone, and it’s all about having business partners. We have users in 30 countries, and they’re all like you – working hard to make a success of their strategy. Wanting help, and being prepared to help.
Front Office Box Pro-Zone
Pro-Zone will be a new site. A combination of:
* Information – tutorials on using the web for business
* Support – tutorials and a hot line to our support team
* Network – a community of business owner/managers
* External Services – deals we’ve done with other sites
So for example, members of the Pro-Zone will be able to access a wide range of white papers, articles and videos, plus some real life experience of inbound marketing and what works on the web.
They’ll be able to talk to the guys who know how FOB works and why, get help and provide input to our development programme.
They’ll be able to profile their business so other members know who to talk to when they’re in the market.
They’ll be able to get notice whenever a member asks us to help with sourcing.
They’ll get preferential terms from external businesses.
They’ll be able to leverage a community of people just like them, and only people just like them.
Want to Influence How It Works
We have the technology working now, in a pilot implementation and are looking for people to help us try it out. Let us know if you’re interested in help shape the way it works, please.
Moving to Chargeable Accounts
Some time soon Front Office Box will introduce pricing for Professional accounts. All existing accounts, provided they re-confirm their interest will be allocated life time, free of charge, multi user, Professional accounts. New registrations will only be free for Personal CRM accounts. New Professional accounts will be chargeable, at rates we determine.
What’s the Difference?
Personal accounts will not include:
1. Multi user
2. email inboxes
3. iCalendar output
4. Webrequest
5. Access to the Pro-Zone
Finally
If you know somebody who might want to have free access to all Front Office Box resources, please advise them to register immediately.
FOB3 will be deployed imminently and soon after we’ll be flicking the switch.
As always, any questions or comments to steve.reeves@frontofficebox.us.
