LEADlink Plus! User Guide

     

LEADlink Plus! Sales Lead Management Software by CompuSystems is a new, innovative and creative way of capturing sales leads through a CompuLEAD data recorder into your PC.  It offers generic and custom options, the ability to add and/or edit information in the prospect’s record and allows you to type notes specific to the prospect into the record.  This software is robust, easy to use and will help you organize your sales leads making it easier to use the information during and after the show.

When you order LEADlink Plus! prior to a show we will mail you a copy the software. You can then install it on your PC and set up each customizable feature.  This will also give you the opportunity to explore the software and become familiar with all of the options available.  You do not need a CompuLEAD Desktop to install and set up the software, however, you should install the software on the same computer that you are going to use onsite at the show.  Also, once you are onsite, you should pick-up your CompuLEAD, attach it to your PC, launch LEADlink Plus! and test the software using your own badge.  If you experience any problems please contact the CompuLEAD Service Desk immediately. 


INSTALLING LEADlink Plus!:

The CD Rom is setup for auto-run.  You should be able to place it into your CD Rom drive and it will start the installation process automatically.  If not, using the Start Button, select Run and browse to your drive for the CD Rom.  Navigate to the Disk1 directory and highlight Setup.exe.  Click the Open button and then click the OK button.

The installation program will ask you to be sure that all other programs are shut down.  Once complete, click the Next button.  Next it will ask you to select the Destination Folder, unless you have another program with the same name and in the same folder, use the default destination and click the Next button.  The last screen will let you know that the installation process is complete, click the Finish button. There will now be an icon for LEADlink Plus! On your Desktop.  To start the application, double click the icon.

NOTE!! The first time you start the application, a Welcome screen will pop up and ask for a Release code.  If this is the first time you have loaded this application onto this PC, just click OK.  If you have loaded this software on this PC at a prior show, you will need the release code to use this application.  Use the instructions on the Welcome screen to receive your Release code.

SET UP:

The setup should be done before the Event and should have just one person designated as the “Administrator”.  The Administrator will have the password for setting up the application and for making changes to the standard Qualifiers and Survey Questions, as well as entering Products if desired.  To prevent unauthorized changes to the settings, the Administrator should control access to the password.

To setup the database for the show, the Administrator should go to the Menu Bar and select Setup.  Then select Administrator Mode and enter the password “csi”.  The Menu Bar will now show additional choices.

 Name your Show’s database:

  • In the File Menu, click “Save As” and Type in a name that will identify the Event you are using LEADlink Plus!
     

  • Then in the File Menu, click “Open” and select the database name you just entered.  This will now become the default database every time you start the application.

 Customize the Show Information Page:

  • In the Setup Menu, click the “Show” button and then the “Show” tab and enter the information for your Event.
     

  • When you are finished, click the “Save” button.

  Customize the Qualifiers:

  • In the Setup Menu, click “Show” and then the “Qualifiers” tab.  Review the Standard Qualifiers to see if they meet your needs.
     

  • To edit the current Qualifiers, click on the text of the Qualifier you want to change and type in the new text.  Continue until finished, click the “Save” button.
     

  • To Add new Qualifiers, click the Add button.

    • As before, click on the text of the new qualifier and type in the new text.

    •  Now click on the corresponding code and enter the next sequential number (i.e. 11,12…).  Continue until complete, then click the “Save” button.
       

  • To delete Qualifiers, highlight the Qualifier and click the “Delete” button. 

Note: Do Not delete Qualifiers once you start using LEADlink Plus.  Deleting will remove that Qualifier from all records.

Customize the Products:

  • In the Setup Menu, click “Show” and then the “Products” tab.
     

  • To edit the current Products, click on the text of the Product you want to change and type in the new text.  Continue until finished, click the “Save” button.
      

  • To add a new Product, click the “Add” button.

    • As before, click on the text of the new Product and type in the new text. 

    • Now click on the corresponding code and enter the next sequential number (i.e. 11,12…).  Continue until complete, then click the “Save” button.
        

  • To delete Products, highlight the Product and click the “Delete” button. 

    • Note: Do Not delete Products once you start using LEADlink Plus.  Deleting will remove that Product from all records.

Customize the Survey Questions:

  • In the Setup Menu, click “Show” and then the “Survey Questions” tab.
     

  • To add a new Question, Click the “Add” button on the top windowpane.

    • Click on the Name of the question and give it a short but useful name (i.e. Purchase Authority, Number of Emps). 

    • Click on the text of the Question and type in the question as you want it to appear on the screen (i.e. What is your Purchase Authority, What is the Number of Employees at your Company).

    • Click on the Selection type and choose between a Multi Answer or Single Answer Question.

      • A Multi answer question allows you to select as many answers as you like.

      • A Single answer question allows you to select only one answer for the question.
          

  • To add the Answers to the Question you just entered, click the “Add” button in the Choices windowpane.

    • Click on the text for the choice and enter in the text for the Answer.  Keep the answer as short as possible, as this is the data stored (i.e. Recommends, Final Approval, 1-100, Over 100…).

RE-USE YOUR CUSTOM SETTINGS:

If you have purchased LEADlink Plus at a previous Show and you have purchased the service at your current Event, you can re-use all of the custom information.  The designated “Administrator” can use the password to enter the Administrator mode.  After you have saved the database under the new name and have made it the default database, you can clear out all of the previous Show’s contact information to start out fresh.  In the Edit menu, click “Purge All Contacts”

USE OF LEADlink Plus!:

  1. To Start the application, double click the LEADlink Plus! Icon on your desktop.  (Be sure that other programs, i.e. Hot Sync Manager are, not using the COM port that you have connected to the CompuLEAD unit,).  With the CompuLEAD unit attached and turned on, swipe the badge (with the code facing towards the machine).  The CompuLEAD unit will beep after a good scan and the data will then populate the fields on the screen.  You can then Qualifier your lead, Scan another badge, or click Save.
