Overall it should be a great week of learning and fun on the Walt Disney World grounds.

Implementation Specialists has created new software to help you better manage the Prospect to Customer lifecycle. wsTOOLS Prospect program takes a proactive approach to help businesses seamlessly connect tasks, quotes and contacts, allowing your sales and service departments to follow through on each prospect, from the initial contact to the end result – a satisfied customer.

Conversations with HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical, and other related industry experts steered our team to design processes and products to integrate Field Service, Sales, and Accounting across a single platform, making more efficient use of your time.

The April 4 webinar will show you how to integrate this new software, forging a strong internal team who knows the next step in the process to turning a prospect into a customer.

Over the next few weeks, our wsTOOLS team will unveil our new DispatchCenter functionality driven by direct customer feedback, such as a module to synchronize prospect information between GP and KEY2ACT.

In our Webinar Series we will share customer experiences, complete with hands-on demonstrations, testimonials, and webinars to give you peer-driven solutions to overcome common productivity bottlenecks between departments.

Join us for our first topic on Wednesday April 4^th at 12PM CST.

First look at the new Prospect module

The IRS has released a new W-4 form and an updated W-4 Calculator. Reviewing and completing a new W-4 form is encouraged to do every year, even more important this year, because of recent changes to the tax law for 2018. The Calculator helps you identify your tax withholding to make sure you have the right amount of tax withheld from your paycheck at work.

If employees choose to adjust their withholding, they can now complete and submit the revised Form W-4 to their employer.

The IRS also posted new Withholding Calculator Frequently Asked Questions.

“Following the major changes in the tax law, the IRS encourages employees to check their paychecks to help ensure they’re having the right amount of tax withheld for their personal situation,” Acting IRS Commissioner David Kautter said in a statement.

The IRS is not Requiring employers to obtain new W-4s from their employees, however it is recommended employers notify employees, using the W-4 calculator and if necessary, submitting a new W-4 to their employer’s payroll department is encouraged for a more accurate withholding of taxes for 2018.
