Does the subject line above sound familiar? Reply to this email with the product it originally promoted--and the year
--to be entered in a drawing to win a deluxe ceramic MasterMine mug. The winner's name and company will be published in the next end-user email. Good luck! These attractive mugs that remind software users to record their work in GoldMine and to use MasterMine are now available for purchase! Just check out this link for ordering instructions.
 
Remember, you can't win if you don't enter! The winner of "Mother! Please! I'd rather do it myself," is Casey Welsh, CRM Data Specialist for Institutional Planning, Research and Accountability for the University of Maryland University College in Adelphi, who wrote, "I think the quote is from a commercial from Anacin, which originally aired in 1963. Love the mugs! Our users could really use the 'subtle' reminder sometimes!" Second place goes to Keith Shapiro of Exodus Marketing Group in Colorado Springs, CO, who says, "I still use Anacin to this day; however, I had to ask my mom, who's 79, if she remembered (ha)."

Tips and Tricks with MasterMine
 

Managing GoldMine's E-mail Merge Codes

One of the best time-savers in GoldMine is the ability to e-mail by group or filter to segments of your database.  To fine-tune your lists, GoldMine has an "e-mail merge codes" field associated with every e-mail address.  However, the "E-mail Merge codes" field can be difficult to manage across the whole database, because it doesn't actually appear on the front screen in GoldMine CRM.  Many users don't even know that it is different and separate from the contact-level "Merge Codes" field.

Using GoldMine's e-mail merge wizard, you can send an e-mail to any record in your database (or any record in a group or filter) whose e-mail merge codes field contains a given value.  A code in the e-mail merge codes field allows you to differentiate between different contacts WITHIN a filtered or grouped contact record.

Say, for example, you want to send out a newsletter or marketing piece by e-mail to past buyers of a product you sell.  You don't want to send the piece to every contact you have at that company, and the main contact at the top of the page might not be the appropriate recipient.  You just want to send to those contacts for whom the e-mail will be relevant. 

You might go through your database and place a code of "M" in the e-mail merge codes field for every e-mail address that should receive this e-mail.  But how do you manage these codes over time, as appropriate users change and different initiatives come up on your side?

With MM Updater, you can manage e-mail merge codes on a mass basis if you include the "E-mail RecID" field when you create your MasterMine report.  With the "E-mail RecID" field, you can update e-mail merge codes in Excel for any record that contains an e-mail address.  After making your changes to the e-mail merge codes field on your drilldown sheet, and invoking MM Updater, remember to click "E-mail RecID" as your "match field" so that MM Updater finds the correct sub-record containing the e-mail addressing information.

Don't see the "C1.E-mail RecID" field in MasterMine when you create your report?  You may not have the latest build of MasterMine, v6.0.300.  This feature is not available if you are a user of dBase ("Standard") GoldMine CRM.
