What my wonderful tech guy Brandon told me is that this program runs really well on new & top of the line computers. My complaint was that it can take almost 4 mins to open & sometimes if I have a customer on the phone I don't want to sit there for 4 mins to upload. I told him that they need to pass along we need a commission increase, so that everyone can afford to go get brand new computers.I agree w/ above posts to send notes to PC, if they don't know there is a problem then they won't fix it. I called a little while ago to tech support & she said they were really slow today, so to call back if I had anymore questions because she was ready to fall asleep.
 
Thanks for the advice! I figured out the receipts thing, and I have been toying with the other features. I am still cranky with the fact that there are so few reports to choose from and that I have to fiddle with everything to figure it out, but it's coming along. I imagine that it will be so terrific when it's all said and done, but I agree, too, that they probably should have developed it more before introducing it. Have a great day, all!
 
You really can't open shows that are older than 6 months?!?!?! :eek: I am constantly referring back to my shows - to see the guests, what they bought, etc. Not just for adjustments. Is there a way around this??
Thanks!

P3 is set up differently so you don't need to open the show to see what they bought--it's listed right under their name in contact management. It's about time!!!!!!!!

Joanne you can open them but can't do any adjustment. Click on the old show and then click summary--you'll get it all and if you want to print old receipts you can by clicking print receipts.

You don't have to use it. In fact, if you do business in Spanish, you must continue to use PP, because there isn't a Spanish version of P3 yet.

But once you sumbit something with P3, you have to stick with it. So consider carefully....
