One Idea I have is maybe sales when your at a customers house for a service call and sometimes its difficult to try and sell the customer the repairs. any ideas that will help will be appreciated.
Thanks

I would love to be able to sit in on this, but the time frame is midday here, so I will be up to my armpits in remodel wiring just then. Would it be a security risk or a rules violation to just log on, leave for work, and read the log file when I get home at the evening?

Sure that would be okay... plus check other times of the day or evening also as we are just not limited to Wednesday Nights. We have Business discussions as late as 12 am est at times

There is a guest in the chatroom from Craftsman's books if any body has any Q's about the electrical estimator

I wish to thank ECN for inviting me to the chat last night. I hope all that participated gleaned some new knowledge of the software. I wish to invite any ECN members to call or write me if they have any questions.

Did anyone start keeping logs of the business chats yet? Especially the one with Rick from Craftsman.

The Log feature of the Chat isnt set up.

I DONT THINK WE COULD SERIOUSLY CALL THESE BUSINESS MEETINGS.....

Ken, with this being an International Forum, you have to expect that people will come in later.
It is not just a US thing.

What about service upgrade costs ?
