Non-Renewals are driving the software decrease

• Decreasing renewal rates seem to be where we are losing sales

• However, it appears renewals are just being delayed

• Since Jan-Feb are biggest sales months:

– Delayed renewals show up as big shortfalls early in the year

– Hopefully made up as delayed renewals later in year

Delaying renewal until we have new/more work

Not enough work to support purchase of a license

Price is too high

Software did not fulfill needs

Budget cut/do not have funding for a license

We created our own contracts

Downgraded to another ACD software license

Using another organization’s standardized building contracts

We never used the software

Our company/firm went out of business

Other Reason for not renewing

Lack of work driving delay of purchase

Competition does NOT appear to be driving renewal decrease

Most “other” reason was lack of DU carry over

20

We have targeted programs to recapture sales:

Pricing: Raised prices 2.5% on select licenses

Products & Promotion: Tested new license versions to address market needs:• Winback offer to non-renewers: 1.8% conversion, $26K sales, 609% ROI

Place: We are leveraging new sales channels to reach customers:• Tech Support: Outbound renewal calls to Unlimited customer• Sales: Outbound calls to Unlimited customer non-renewers

4.3 Release 7 Steps to Collecting Customer Info Using net:FORUM

Sam HarrellAssociate, Sales and Marketing

AIA Contract Documents

33

Step 1: Log In to net:FORUMTo log in to netFORUM, go to https://ams.aia.org/iweb/

• You will see a login screen- enter your username and password here

34

Step 2: Go to the CRM Module• Once you are logged in, you’ll see the net:FORUM homescreen. It should be

automatically on the CRM module, but if not click on the orange CRM button on the top left of the page. A pop-up menu will open- select the “CRM” option

35

Step 3: Enter Query Mode• You’ll now be in the CRM module. Go to the top of the page where there is an

“Individuals” tab. When you run your mouse over this you’ll get a drop-down menu- from this you’ll select “Run Query.”

36

Step 4: Load Existing QueryNow, click on the “Load an Existing Query” tab and you’ll get a drop-down menu. Scroll down until you see the query called “DOC: FSD Customer Information” and click on this.

37

Step 5: Run Query• You’ll see a screen Step 5- Run Query• like this. From here, click on “Run Query” in the lower right hand corner.

38

Step 6: Input Query FieldsYou now have some choices to make! You’ll see 7 input boxes on your screen. The first 2 give the query information on the period of time you want to look for orders. Note that the query is run by the date of expiration of the product, not the order date of the product. Thus, you will need to run the report one year ahead or before the order date of products you want to find.

There are three ways to run the report for date ranges:1. Find all purchases before a given date. To do this, enter the date one year ahead of when

you want the report to look backwards. In the “Less Than or Equal To” field. Note: net:FORUM records only go back to 2006.

2. Find all purchases after a given date. To do this, enter the date one year ahead of the date from which you want to look forward in the “Greater Than or Equal To” field. Leave the 2nd field blank.

3. Find all purchases within a given date range.

39

Step 6: Input Query Fields (Continued)Now you’ll need to put in the cities in which you want to find the orders. Currently, you’ll only be able to run the report by city; I will soon have two new reports that you can run by an entire state or by a zip code range. For now, though, you’ll need to input the state in which you’re looking for order in the “Addess::State/Territory is Equal To” field (you should use the state code, not full name). Then, you can input up to four cities within that state to find records in. If you only want to search for one city, just enter that one in any of the four fields and leave the others blank.

40

Step 7: Save Query ResultsAfter you’ve run the query you’ll see a screen like this. Scroll over to the left side of the screen.

41

Step 7: Save Query Results (Cont.)Once you’ve scrolled all the way to the left, scroll over the icon with an arrow on the top right. From the drop down menu, select “Export to Raw Data to ASCII Delimited/CSV” by clicking on it. Once a new window opens, save the file.

42

You’re done! Completed Excel FileYou now have a complete Excel file with the following information:

– Customer ID– Customer Full Name– Customer Company Name– Customer Email Address– Date the customer purchased their product– Member Type (1): Used for Prospect Licensed and Local Allied members– Member Type (2): Used for full Members, National Allied Members, International Associates, and Associates– Product type– Full Address– Primary Phone Number

Please note: net:FORUM will not have complete information for many of these fields. The most commonly missing information is: Company Name, Full Address, and Primary Phone Number.

43

Thanks!Any questions?
