"Starting out in this business you need every advantage you can get. Thanks to Quik! I am holding off on hiring a part-time assistant, and I am able to spend more time selling and researching, rather than filling out monotonous, painful forms!"

What is the Quik! Forms Library?

 

Take the Quik! Tour

The Quik! Forms Library is a desktop software application that automates the process of filling out forms. With an automatic connection to your database, filling out forms is as simple as choosing a client, choosing a form and clicking START. Each form can be completed online and then printed for signing. The result is significantly less time spent on completing forms while presenting a more professional image to your clients.

What is the Update Service? The Update Service is a program that checks our website for updates and downloads the latest forms available, saving you the time and effort of trying to figure out if your forms are up to date or not. Since you control how often the program checks for updates and whether new forms are downloaded or not, you can be sure your forms are current right now.

Which contact management databases does Quik! automatically connect to? Quik! can seamlessly connect to virtually any database. Currently, we support more than 24 commercial databases. For a current list, please click here. We anticipate integrating with every popular contact management system available to financial planners, based on the needs of our customers. If we don't currently support your database, please tell us and we'll let you know when the connection is made.

Do you have plans to support my database? We can build a link to almost any commercially available database, provided that the software company wants to work us, that there are enough users to justify the development effort and the program is an actual database. If you have a custom database, it is possible that we can build a customized version of our software for you at a very reasonable price (contact us for more details).

How much does Quik! cost? Quik! Forms Library costs $199 per year. The price includes the software, unlimited access to our website and forms, and unlimited customer service. A discounted price is available through some of our dealer alliances (check with your broker/dealer or fund company for availability). Additional advisors can be added for only $129 per year per advisor.

How can I get Quik! for free? We envision a day when fund companies, insurance companies and broker/dealers all make it easier and less expensive to do business with them. You can show your support for that vision by letting your dealers know about the Quik! solution and referring them to us. We offer dealers a full solution by providing the tools, the service and the infrastructure to meet the needs of all the financial professionals in your organization. If you would like to earn a free extension to your subscription, introduce us to the decision maker at your firm and help us find a way to meet the needs of all the professionals in your company.

Will I get a discount for referring a friend? We encourage our customers to spread the word about our products and services. And to show you our appreciation, for each customer you refer that signs up and remains a customer for at least 30 days, we will extend your subscription by 30 days. (Another way to earn a discount is to buy a multi-rep version of our software. However, this version requires that all reps who use the product are also using the same database on a network.)

What if I'm not satisfied with Quik!? If you are not satisfied with Quik!, please contact anyone at our company and let us know immediately. Our goal is to provide an excellent customer experience with great products and service. We will do everything within our power to ensure you're happy with our product and service. We also provide a trial version of our software to help you make your decision before you buy.

Can I share Quik! with other reps in my office? If you would like to share Quik! with other reps in your office, we encourage you to save money by purchasing a multi-rep license. A multi-rep license entitles you to install the software on a network server and connect to a single, shared database. Of course, like all software programs, it is easy to give a copy of the software to your peers. However, to ensure each rep retains privacy and accesses only the desired forms, our security is based on the rep names entered for the registered user. Without enforcing such security, we could not maintain the proper security levels required by our relationships with dealers.

What is a multi-advisor license? Quik! can be used by a single advisor or multiple advisors depending on how many licenses you purchase. A Multi-Advisor license allows you to share a single installation of Quik! with different database. By purchasing a multi-rep license, larger offices can lower their software and administration costs.

Forms
Which forms does Quik! automate? (For an exact list of forms we automate, go to Find Forms and do a search.) Virtually any form that is delivered to us in an accessible electronic format can be automated. Many dealers have made it easier for reps to do business by making their forms available to their reps, while many others have not. Because our focus is on serving our existing customers, our inventory of forms grows based on your needs. If we don't have a form you want, please tell us and we'll do everything we can to get it for you. Please visit our Submit a Form Request page to tell us which forms you want.

Does Quik! work with broker/dealer forms? Yes. We currently are working with several broker/dealers to roll out their forms to their reps. However, given the number of broker/dealer companies, it is likely that we have not met your broker/dealer yet. We appreciate your recommendation and introduction to your broker/dealer - our service can make it significantly easier for reps to do business, while saving everyone time and money.

Can I get my broker/dealer forms to work with Quik!? If we don't have your broker / dealer listed in our list of dealers, then ask us to add your dealer by going to our Submit Form Request page. Follow the link to add your dealer and we'll do our best to get forms from your dealer.

Do you build custom forms? If you have forms that you developed for your personal use in your practice, we'll be happy to build those forms for you at $10 per form page. Visit our Submit Form Request page to submit your form to us electronically. When we receive your request, we will contact you to provide you with a quote and to start building your form for you.

Can I save a form once I have it completed? If you want to save a form with all the data you entered, select Save As from the File. Note: You must have a 'paid' version of Adobe Acrobat installed to save forms with data in them (either Acrobat Approval or Acrobat Standard or Acrobat Professional versions).

How many forms can I start at a time? We recommend limiting the number of forms started at the same time to 12. Although it is technically possible to start more, computers typically run out of memory if more than 12 are started at a time.
