NAPA VALLEY AND CONTRA COSTA MARKETPLACE MAGAZINES OF NORTHERN CALIFORNIA Within the first hour we learned more than we had learned in six months on our own. My staff and I are now meeting with Chris once a week for a class over the internet. This has proved to be the best investment our Company has made for Education.
I recommend Chris to anyone and everyone who needs help with their ACT programs. Chris is patient, caring, and great to work with. Deborah Stevens, Publisher

Through remote web access, Chris was able to streamline our Act database in just a matter of minutes. We explained our process, and Chris customized our database accordingly.
He cleaned it up, added new fields, and created a much more user friendly and aesthetically pleasing layout. As a result, our process and client/candidate management is far more efficient which we expect will impact our bottom line...resulting in laser focused searches, and ultimately more placements.
Chris was pleasant, patient, knowledgeable and eager to help.
Betsi Rosen, President

HUTCHINSON FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT "Working with Chris Pumphrey was probably the most important and best investment I made in my business last year.

"You haven't even started using ACT! until you've called Chris" Ross Furukawa, Editor in Chief |

"Chris has been helping me with all of my ACT software needs for the last three years, and even in a slow market when I am spending little money on anything, the one thing I will continue to keep up is my constant connections with my database. When I first came over to my company a couple years ago, one of my coworkers had one of their ACT people come in and do some work, and I had them just take a look at something while they were there, and it turned into a very expensive very long ordeal. I assumed they knew what they were doing, but I went ahead and called Chris anyway to see what he had to say. He came to my office and after 10 minutes had the previously predicted very expensive problem fixed….just like that! I had never used anyone else for my ACT needs before and I will NEVER let anyone else ever touch my ACT program ever again. Chris really knows his stuff, and if by some chance he doesn’t have the answer, he knows how to get it quickly. Thank you Chris for all the expertise you have provided me and the great advice as I continue to expand. Please know that you can’t retire until I do!" Paula Harvey, Certified Mortgage Planner, Your fan and client for life

SPERRY VAN NESS COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE "One hour with Chris is worth at least ten hours of my time trying to deal with error messages or figure things out by myself. I would recommend to anyone, even with experience (I have been using Act for 6 or 7 years) to consult with Chris for a couple of hours. His knowledge & experience is far more valuable than the dollar cost of his time. Like the saying goes, stick to what you know & hire someone with expertise in other fields." Robyn G. Jackson, Sr. Investment Advisor

Chris's ability to provide these services remotely have proven to be invaluable. It has allowed our team to get quick and useful information from different locations at the same time in order to get the most out of the product and our sales efforts." Mike Long, Account Executive
