&lt;p&gt;As support staff we would not be the best folks to quote timing on a customization job like this - best bet for a quote and timing on your job would be to speak with a consultant on &lt;span id="mce_1_start" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.methodintegration.com/training-customization.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;staff &lt;span id="mce_2_start" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;here&lt;span id="mce_1_end" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;span id="mce_2_end" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;span id="mce_0_start" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Everything you posted is possible -&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src="/cs/Themes/methodtheme/images/icon-quote.gif"&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Method_Jennifer:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The client would like to search their database for their customers who have purchased an initial service&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Provided the information on their initial service is stored somewhere in Method then this would be a simple &lt;span id="mce_1_start" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.methodintegration.com/method/kb.aspx?folder=methodcrm&amp;amp;article=Retrieve-Value-From-Table&amp;amp;id=130" target="_blank"&gt;r&lt;span id="mce_0_start" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;etrieve value from &lt;span id="mce_2_start" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;table&lt;span id="mce_1_end" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;span id="mce_2_end" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; action to see if anything exists. &amp;nbsp;If it does then you know they got their initial service and you can trigger another action which will create an activity to contact the customer for a second service.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src="/cs/Themes/methodtheme/images/icon-quote.gif"&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Method_Jennifer:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;They would like to see those who have not purchased in a while&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;This would be a &lt;em&gt;retri&lt;span id="mce_12_start" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;eve value from table&lt;/em&gt; plus the &lt;span id="mce_7_start" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.methodintegration.com/method/kb.aspx?folder=methodcrm&amp;amp;article=Date-Difference&amp;amp;id=138" target="_blank"&gt;dat&lt;span id="mce_6_start" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;e &lt;span id="mce_8_start" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;difference&lt;span id="mce_7_end" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;span id="mce_8_end" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; action to figure out how long from today their last purchase was. &amp;nbsp;The invoice search would be another action which is looking for invoice line items to see what was purchased.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src="/cs/Themes/methodtheme/images/icon-quote.gif"&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Method_Jennifer:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;For example, they would like to search all clients who have bought the Initial Service for $99 but haven&amp;#39;t signed up for any other services.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;Combining the actions I posted along with a custom screen what you&amp;#39;re asking on behalf of a client is definitely possible and is something they should consider talking to a consultant on staff here to iron out all the details.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;I&amp;#39;m writing this on behalf of a client who I was speaking to. I am wondering how long it would take to do the following customization, and how difficult would it be.&amp;nbsp; The client would like to search their database for their customers who have purchased an initial service, so that they can cross sell to them for a second service. They would like to see those who have not purchased in a while, and they would also like to search on this particular invoice item.&amp;nbsp; For example, they would like to search all clients who have bought the Initial Service for $99 but haven&amp;#39;t signed up for any other services. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;Thanks&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;Jennifer&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
