SPS is piloting FileMaker Pro 11 to track sales, quotes, technical issues and products sold. As a sales representative, Chip Emery is excited about the new dynamic charting features of FileMaker Pro 11, which he uses to build visuals for sales presentations.
"When you are demonstrating to customers how they can benefit from your products, services or special savings programs, showing is always better than telling. That's why it is so great that pictures, the world's oldest form of communication, are now part of the FileMaker Pro 11 tool set," says Emery. "With FileMaker Pro 11, I can boil down numbers quickly into visual communications, enabling my customers to see right away which options and choices make the most sense."

Previously, Emery exported information from FileMaker Pro into a spreadsheet program to prepare charts for sales presentations. "Dynamic charting in FileMaker Pro 11 will save me valuable time that would otherwise be spent taking the intermediate step of using spreadsheets," he says. "I welcome any advancement that lets me spend more time in front of customers."
