Begin by using either of the following methods:

From the Accounts tab page, use the Quick Addition section to quickly add a new account without entering a lot of information. Further details can be filled in at a later time.
Click the New Accounts link to create a new account with a detailed profile.

Use the Parent Account field to link a company to it's parent company. In this way you can keep track companies and their subsidiaries.

When Jane Doe purchased one of your products from your web site, she filled out a brief billing information form you created with salesboom.com's Accounts Web Capture Tool. When she submitted the form a new account was created in your salesboom.com organization.

From the Accounts tab page, click the Web Capture Accounts link located in the Account Tools section.
Click the new web capture tool link.
Fill in the Web Capture Info form and select which fields you want to include in your web capture form using the Select Fields section.
Click the Create/Update button to create the web capture tool.
Generate the HTML code for your form. Your web master will put the form on your web site.
Your web master may also modify the look of the form to match your company's web site.
Although you may modify the look and feel of the form, do not change field, variable or any other object names. For example, field display names may be changed but the field names themselves may not.
