Posted on

Business owners who take the time to speak to us put themselves ahead of the competition and are helping themselves increase their sales and reduce their costs.

ActSmart iconActSmart are continuously introducing and updating services designed to help your business increase profits and keep costs down. However, not enough businesses are taking advantage of all that is on offer to them.

We understand you are busy during the day and would like to gauge what value an after hours call back service would be to you?

This would give you the opportunity to discuss your business with us and find out how we can help you increase your sales and reduce your costs at a time to suit you, without taking you away from your business, your staff or your customers during core opening hours.

Talking to us really is worthwhile!

After spending just 10 minutes talking to ActSmart at Core I feel my membership fee is worth every penny. I am looking forward to the launch of WorkRiders and ActSmart's new Gift Card service and suggest that all members keep up to date with what they are entitled to"
