...a
simple thought which clearly describes a publisher's environment.
But that's about
all that's simple about this business. Managing information is tough,
but it doesn't have to be.
At Yellow Magic
Incorporated, we understand
that your company's profitability is determined largely by how it collects
and manages information,
so we've made it our business to develop and
provide you with the tools you need to do both.
Take control of both
your information and your business with Yellow Magic, our powerful, fully
integrated business management
and publishing system designed specifically
for the directory publishing industry.
From lead generation
and canvass management and commissions…through contract entry and account maintenance…
continuing
on to account billing and collections…and then all the way through
creation of a CD of your pages for your printer,
"Yellow
Magic" has you covered. When it comes to directory publishing, we set the
standard by which all other publishing
systems are measured.
Let's take a closer look at just a few of Yellow Magic's publishing features…
Lead Generation and Canvass Management
We understand that
the preparations made before a sales canvass is often as important as
the canvass itself and that each
publisher prefers a system that meets
the needs of its sales organization and its unique sales practices.

Magic automates
and simplifies the tasks necessary to create sales leads, to provide a
fair and equitable market
break, and to ensure your sales reps go out

Contract Entry and Account Maintenance
When you look at
a new publishing system there are certain features without which you cannot live.
When it comes to
keying contracts, you need a comprehensive system that
makes sense, because learning a new system can be
intimidating - even scary.
You need a system that your data entry staff can (and will want to) become
proficient on in a
very short time.
Yellow
Magic's Account Display screen provides a window for complete
customer information, whether you're changing
an address or setting up
billing information. User-friendly features, along with Yellow Magic's
production knowledge, ease
you along each step while all the necessary
information is entered. Yellow Magic anticipates your next step and works
with
you to ensure that no details are omitted.

we've removed the intimidation factor.
