How to set up SAINT

Aktualisiert am 19. Apr. 2021

SuperOffice SAINT can be used in many different ways and for many different processes. Before successfully implementing the SAINT feature it is important to know what you wish to improve and how you can analyse this.

Once you know what you want to improve, try to think of the action your company can take to improve on the existing situation. What action will you take?

  • Send out a group mailing using Mailings
  • Call all customers in the SAINT selection
  • Follow up on all requests

Because SuperOffice SAINT can be used in many different ways we will explain how to setup SAINT with a simple example.

We want to analyse which customer "our" company has not been in contact with for more than 6 months. So we can use the SAINT selection to follow up and call these neglected customers.
