President’s Message
You have a voice through MACC’s annual Client Satisfaction Survey
By Craig Aman, President and CEO
In today’s world, we are all swimming (maybe drowning??) in a sea of surveys while navigating a forest of feedback requests. If you order a pair of socks online…you’re asked to rate your experience. Sitting down to eat with your family in the evening…why that’s the perfect time to answer a brief (20 minutes!!) telephone survey.
Here at MACC, we respect your time, as we know how busy everyone is! Because of that, we are continually improving our products so you can become more efficient with your time during the workday. For these reasons, MACC only asks you to complete one survey each year on the performance of our people and products. The time of our annual Client Satisfaction Survey is here and I invite you or others at your company to participate.

MACC Challenge
It’s our birthday…but you’re getting the gifts
At the start of 2020, we proposed a challenge…the MACC Challenge. We asked that you try a new MACC product or service you’re not using and reap the benefits of saving time, reducing expenses, and generally having an easier day at work. For those of you who accepted the challenge…thank you! If you’re on the fence…we have great news!

Rockin’ Reports
It’s not spring yet, but you can clean up your USP codes
As this is the time of year you audit your financials, it’s also a good time to do an audit of your USP codes. Prices, descriptions, taxes, GL accounts, network types, vacation discount amounts, and many more pieces of information should be reviewed. A helpful report for this task is the BL42 in Bill Master. It will show bundles and all the codes contained within that bundle. It will also show all your USP codes, plus any applied taxes and surcharges.
