Check current 9x12 Tools plansTry the workflow
Follow one advertiser from prospect to paid spot.
In each product, create a campaign, track a conversation, collect a payment and inspect the resulting records. Then check artwork approval, recurring billing and any exports you need.
In 9x12 Tools, saving routes starts prospect discovery. You work the next-action queue, send an invitation yourself, and successful online payment connects the advertiser with the sold placement and order. The advertiser can then provide details and review artwork in a private workspace.
9x12 Sites reports automated sold status, double-sale protection and recurring billing. Use a demonstration to compare the details that matter to your business. We do not claim that the workflow above is exclusive to 9x12 Tools.
