Freddie, Carmen, et al...

There's a feature on T.o.S. (the 'other site') that I REALLY like and as long as the NEW voice123 is coming... um,.... it IS actually coming, right?....... why not see about incorporating this:

- various templates we can each store to respond to leads. Currently every time I answer a lead I have to open up my word .doc file and copy and paste in the response. A minor hassle. But on T.o.S. I have a drop-down menu and can choose from any number of template responses I've created; one for narratives, one for e-learning, one for voicemail, etc.

Just a thought............................

Scott, that is a great idea, I believe something alike was looked in to a while back.

I will for a fact bring it up to development. Thank you for the feedback.

Great Idea Scott! I also go through the minor inconvenience and it would be nice if V123 could implement it.

John, I'm a professional web designer (www.spasticlizard.com) and I HATE counters on sites, other than on, say, ebay, where you want to see how many people are looking at your item to sell. For starters, it's VERY amateurish. You'll only see them typically on church websites that were created and maintained by the church's secretary's niece's daughter. And then it usually says "This site has been visited 000023 times. Last updated, January 4, 1998". Ugh.

And what if YOUR page is the one that's only had 12 hits while the guy listed right above you has 22,417? Not good.

Now, if we could see PRIVATELY how many times our page has been viewed, AND get the typical statistics that you can get thru a normal web access panel, such as referring pages, length of time visited, and so on... THAT would be good.

I beg to differ, Scott; it's usually the church's secretary's niece's SON, not daughter, who adds the cheesey counters to web sites. Wink

I just recently told someone else about the amateurish look of web site counters. I do agree.

You're absolutely right, Scott, the pull down menu for responses is one of the features I like best about ToS. The other thing I like, really like, is the fact that talent seekers post their names and businesses. You know who you're auditioning for. That just seems way more professional. But I still like V123 better. I like the people behind V123 better (more humor; no grandstanding, at least none that I've seen). Also the number and quality of leads are better on V123 (at least for me). I'm going off topic so I'll stop here.

It is certainly one thing that I hope is coming with V123V2. Statistics and lots of them. Statistics on anything, everything and even things I don't care about. Metrics out of the wazoo. I want to know how I am doing compared to others, I want to know how many have been answered, deleted, gotten, lost, whatever. When was the last time and how many times I have been logged on.

Y'all get what I am saying. Give me more Cow Bell Freddie. I've got to have more Cow Bell.
