Act! Success Stories
Our
VIP Support Plans
The Keystroke VIP Club is an annual membership that was inspired by new Act! customers needing some initial "kick start" help with their deployment or upgrade, but hesitant to engage a consultant for fear of the cost.
The problems we witnessed, though, was that these same people often deployed the Act! program poorly, or in a limiting manner, and ended up wasting more time & money than they hoped to save.
We saw this problem as both avoidable and easy to fix, so we came up with the Keystroke VIP Club to help. See details below.

VIP support plans have a fixed time limit per year, with a purchase limit of one per year. Regular VIP and Diamond VIP are NOT mutually exclusive as you can buy one of each in a single year since they involve different levels of service. OrangeCare limits are fixed at 30-minutes per day multiplied by the number of subscribers. Usage beyond the daily limit would either be billable or deducted from an existing VIP | ||||||||||
