No facilities to track payable commissions - a major requirement for many businesses nowadays, who work alongside referring partners and affiliates.Īlthough it has some rather useful and well-developed features, the program is really only useful for consultants issuing sporadic invoices to a handful of active clients. If you have several hundred clients in your books that require regular invoicing, you'll find it unusable. Extremely poor interface for handling large numbers of clients - if you have any more than a couple of dozen active accounts at any given time, you'll struggle. Recurring invoices, as well as pre-payments (retainers) are handled with ease.Ĭons: impossible to fathom why a program that allows a user to issue detailed quotes and invoices and carefully track payments, does NOT allow the user to issue receipts - the program has no function at all for doing receipts. Good tools for time-tracking work hours, for lone freelancers as well as for work teams. Allows company to host their data in their own servers, instead of forcing users to use their public cloud solution. Pros: relatively easy to customize built-in designs and produce great-looking invoices. Great app, but with more updates, online payment facility, and a functioning user forum, this could be amazing!

I don't mind the subscription model, as it's tiered to suit the various users, but I do feel like Marketcircle have abandoned this no update since 2016, discontinued user forum, and no real online presence of any update activity. The biggest problem for me is the invoicing system there's no function for online payments and no ability to add a payment button. There's a whole new world to learn to get this to do the things you want. The invoicing system is powerful, but very difficult to change things to suit. It seems to be server based now, which can take a while to start, or in my case, sometimes needs restarted to get it to work. It's got a nice user interface and most things are fairly obvious. It's simple to get started and there appears to be a fair bit of power there when you need it. The world record holder credited the Kingswood Golf Club for their willingness to allow him to spend an entire week at the curling rink to be a part of the event.This is a very good app. I think it's just something that pros in our industry embody and we all try to support the communities that we live and work in,” said Billings. “At the end of the day, I know across the whole country, a lot of PGA of Canada members are doing things that don’t get a lot of recognition, nor do they really need to be recognized for it. The money will be donated to high schools in Fredericton to create sensory rooms that help reduce anxiety and to the Family Enrichment and Counselling Service.īillings was recognized for his contribution to his community by ECCO in the thanks for stepping up campaign, after being nominated by a peer.īillings was humbly grateful for the nomination, but believes all PGA of Canada members hold a similar mindset when it comes to supporting their communities. Saturday morning at 9:30 am, the group completed their challenge and had raised over $200K to show for it. The longest curling match in history came to an end five long days after it started. To be honest, I think if they would have required me to go longer, I would have been able to go longer, that's for sure.” “It wasn't as draining as I thought it was going to be.

Surprisingly, Billings said, it was not as bad as it sounds. The curlers played in eight-hour shifts followed by a two-hour break where they slept in an old locker room. The group aimed to play a 120-hour match while raising $1000 an hour for a grand total of $120K. The challenge began on a Monday morning in November at The Capital Winter Club in Fredericton, NB. Their mission was to beat the previous 105-hour long record while raising money for youth mental health.īillings, a long-time PGA of Canada member and General Manager at Kingswood Golf Club at the time (he’s since taken on a new endeavour as General Manager at the Fredericton Golf Club), is a recreational curler who saw this as an opportunity to give back to his community. 120 hours of curling later, Chris Billings, along with 9 friends, beat the Guinness world record for longest curling match.
