Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐ACT! is the most robust CRM on the market today, and this manual was written as most the bugs were worked out. I still use this manual with the current version (ACT! 2013), and I still feel it’s relevant.I bought this manual in 2009 when my company lost the OEM manual for ACT! I thought this explained the CRM much better to the point that I became the ACT! expert at my job. The manual is written very generically/global, so almost any industry could fit its needs into the CRM. I think it explains the Opportunities section (probably most under-utilized, but powerful section of ACT!).Today’s ACT! has a web based version to keep up with Salesforce.com, but everyone knows that the desktop version is much more robust and faster than the web version. There was no Web version in 2006, but the web version translates almost identically to the standalone program version, only slower.I’ve read the manual cover-to-cover and I thought it could be shorter.

⭐I never used this product. I did buy it, but never used it. It wasn’t what I thought it would be.

⭐ACT 2006 is a great book if you are new to ACT and have an IT department to handle the techie stuff.It’s well written. It just didn’t go into near enough detail for me.
