Marketing how to's

Locations are the basis for marketing.  Locations have a text area for public visibility and a hidden text area where you add information that only you can see. Locations will post to the Location Map  where you can sort and visually locate prospects and clients.  

Comments are the record of the sales interaction you have with the Location. Comments are individuals at this location with public and hidden text areas. Public text  says something public, private areas are for your marketing and sales information. When working with locations and the individuals within them  contact the user that created the location,or the individual comment for more insite concerning the content, or to collaborate.

Private messages let you communicate with other users to collaborate, offer leads, and suggestions.

Notes are private and will list on your profile page. They are simply notes you might have per location, user or comment individual a reminder for when you come back.
