The beginning of each year brings with it the chance to start doing something new. Have you thought about what you might do differently this year?
If you have decided that it’s time to get your business leaner and meaner, you may be pondering ways to become more efficient with the tools you already have.
If that’s the case, you’re in luck. Today I’m going to tell you about streamlining your marketing. Marketing is near and dear to my heart so it should come as no surprise that I’m going to talk about it every year. It’s one of those things that business owners need to do, but there are just so many directions to take.
The simplest way to get started is to use what you already have. It’s cheaper that way and it gets you acclimated slowly to new ways of doing things. You might see great results right off the bat or you may have to tweak your messaging. Either way, you’ll know you’re moving in the right direction.
Instead of delving step by step into some of the marketing tools in Point, I’m going to give you some links that will provide detailed instructions and screen shots.
Creating Custom Forms
Importing a Word Document as a Custom Form
Inserting Word fields into a Custom Form
How to Generate Mailing Labels
How to add a Logo to Marketing Forms
Creating a Marketing Campaign QRG
For current customers, we have free online training classes that walk you through how to get started with Point’s marketing tools. Make sure you check out our training schedule and sign-up today!

The Equal Credit Opportunity Act makes it unlawful for a creditor to discriminate against any applicant for a myriad of specified reasons. If credit is denied, creditors must provide disclosure to the applicant as to the reason for denial typically within 30 days. Details on Reg B can be found here.
PointCentral®gives you the tools you need to stay on top of Reg B requirements with Business Rules and Reports that you can customized to suit your needs.
- Create a custom Business Rule that pops up if the user has a Prospect for which credit has been run, and for which the file status is switched to Denied, and for which a Notice of Action Taken has not been prepared. The rule prevents saving the Status until the Notice of Action Taken has been prepared. Learn more about setting up custom rules here.
- Point offers 4 options for Notices: Notice of Incomplete Application, Notice of Counter Offer, Notices of Withdrawn Application as well as Notice of Credit Denial. Learn more about completing the Notice of Action Taken here.
- Create a custom report to run every 27 days to catch files for which Credit has been run, have not moved beyond Prospect status, and have not had a Notice of Action prepared. Learn more about creating custom reports here.
If you’d like additional help setting up your business rules or custom reports, you can learn by sitting in on one of our free online training classes or you can talk to your account rep at 800-362-2599 about a personal consultation with one of our experts
