Re: [WISPA] How to keep track of appointments
Ok, I didn't really see any suggestions that stood out for me. Here's a little more info. I am thinking about going the PDA/handheld route. I don't want to have to boot up the laptop all the time on the road to write down something about a phone call. It takes too much time (yes, I'm ADHD, thats ADD with a hyper thrown in there) So.what can ya'll recommend for a PDA device? I have never owned one, so I don't know what to look for. I tend to get as much bells and whistles as I can afford. I like dell's stuff. I see dell has some gps program that you can get with it, what do you guys use for gps (I don't like the one on my Nextel). But anyway, back to the appointments. Anyone know what they have in the way of notepads or calenders? I figure I'll write in the calender if something needs to be done on a specific day, and on the notepad when ti is a whenever job. Currently all I have is a word document on the laptop that says "to do list" and I add and delete stuff. Problem is I don't always even look at the list, oops! So maybe if I had a fancy lil PDA on my side I'd get it out get my life in order. Any suggestions on handhelds? Brian RickG wrote: ACT is great in addition to Outlook. On 11/16/05, Pete Davis.

Of course if your ADD/ADHD is that serious you might get distracted by the Web browser and just surf all day, never actually getting anything done. :) HEY! I resemble that remark. ;) I'd like to spend under $400 on this. David E. Smith wrote: Reliable Internet, LLC wrote: [ stuff about a PDA ] If you have lots of money, go get a Nokia 770. I can't report on how well they work because they just came out yesterday, but it sure looks like a fun nifty toy... Despite the manufacturer, it's not a phone, it's an Internet Tablet. Built-in Wi-Fi, Web browser, and for the geek in all of us, it runs Linux and reportedly is very developer-friendly (so you can add other stuff). Before long someone will have SSH and VNC clients, so you could probably run your whole network from one in a pinch. (Note to self: bug boss about how I need one of these to do my job. :D ) Of course if your ADD/ADHD is that serious you might get distracted by the Web browser and just surf all day, never actually getting anything done. :) In that case, just get some old black-and-white Palm device off eBay for twenty bucks and call it a day. Since you're a one-man show, you'll probably just have to experiment a bit and see what works best for you, for the time being. Most of my suggestions are more group-oriented (we use the calendaring software that came with our email system, and just have a couple shared logins and the honor system, but we also have a couple more people to keep track of).

Anyway, according to nokiausa.com/770, that device is a meager $359.99. If you're really just planning to use it as a scheduler and memory-tickler, it's probably very overkill. A low-end (maybe even gently-used) iPaq or similar will probably fill the bill nicely and be quite a bit cheaper.

Hi Dan, Was the outlook plugin the only reason you went for Tiger over Sugar?

Re: [WISPA] How to keep track of appointments
to complete, I'm working on one now thats been on my desk for 5 months. Different status gets assigned and some don't. A schedule might get assigned, but a anntenna approval most likely wouldn't. Its all complicated relationships, and not likely to be whats covered in a generic Proejct management application. Anyway, enough talk for today. We'll see what the future brings.

If your a linux guy or have one you know, you can use a program called conflux (www.conflux.ee) its a groupware program that has mail, calendar, job ect. Its very clean and functional with a nice interface (http). I use this so I can hit my schedule anywhere on the net. Any groupware will work but this is the best Iv seen (free up to 5 users). Egroupware (www.egroupware.org) is another one, less visual pleasing than conflux and its free plus it syncs with outlook (I think). I like conflux the best due to its job and time tracking ability.

I use to do this but kept falling of the ladder as the same string was attached to both my finger and toe ;) Grab a spare PC and build a standard FreeBSD box then stick SugarCRM on it (it's not that hard to do as I've managed it ;). Once it's set-up you can admin it from Windows via the HTML login. Good things about Sugar are that it's free, you can put all your customer details in it, change progress statuses, email notifications, do salesy things like building a pipeline of potential customer revenue, trouble tickets, shared calendars, documentation repository, plus loads of other features I haven't had time to play with.

Re: [WISPA] How to keep track of appointments
These all look cool for Open source of doing what Goldmine or Outlook already do, jsut with a few more features. But the problem with these is they are not industry specific and are really individual centered. Managing installtion and sales leads in the WISP industry is much different. Each sales lead is a project in itself. (close deal, do pre-qual survey, do site cisit survey, get antenna approval from landlord, start install, progress on install, order product for install, etc). All leads should come to a central queue for all to view and follow up on, and then able to be assigned, but still viewed globally. But onced assigned, it should not be bulked in with tasks that are truly personal that shouldn't be viewed from others. I believe there are more categories than jsut task, appointment, project, etc. In addition should add, tech support request, installation schedule, onsite service schedule, without combining them to the generic categories of tasks and appointments. Where as a true sales appointment would ahve different tracking and scheduling needs than an installtion appointment, etc. Thats the problem with these generic type of systems. I'd like to see something customized specifically for the processes of a WISP. Tom DeReggi RapidDSL Wireless, Inc IntAirNet- Fixed Wireless Broadband - Original Message - From: Peter R.

RE: [WISPA] How to keep track of appointments
Tom, Excellent point about the whole process of getting a customer. Could this be done in a project management tool? You could assign each customer as a project, set up gant charts for the start to finish process and track each customer as a separate project. I'm just thinking off the cuff about this. As you mentioned the whole process it reminds me more of a project tracking than a customer sales lead tracking. I don't know if the software packages would be able to set the customer data up properly as you would in a contact list though. There are open source Linux packages available to do this as well as things like Microsoft Project. Seems like it might be easier to adapt one of these than to make something from scratch since most of the WISP's are hard put for time as it is. Anyway, it's just a thought.

RE: [WISPA] How to keep track of appointments
Bob, Make sure you get the free intelisync download from Yahoo, it allows you to sync everything with your desktop Outlook with a press of the button. I like this feature as it seems much easier to input items on the calendar and contact list in outlook rather than the web interface on Yahoo. It's also a great way to keep a full backup of your contacts off site. Yahoo even sends out email reminders of any appointments.
