Are you wasting time and losing money because you're not as organized as you should be? We take advantage of tools and resources available, which can make or break our businesses. This is why choosing the right contact management system is one of the most important decisions you can make as an entrepreneur or small business owner.
Here are some tried and tested resources that are A+ with keeping you on track. An hour per day can keep you well-organized and ready for any opportunities. Free up your time by not having to keep updating your contacts. If you set up a system that's focused on maintenance, you'll save much needed time.
1. VTIGER (www.vtiger.com) - A great open source software that can be installed on your server.
2. SUGAR CRM (www.sugarcrm.com) - The best part of this software is that you can delete duplicates, which is a handy feature to have when uploading multiple contacts at once.
3. ZOHO (www.zoho.com) - This free application is great for the non-tech savvy individuals who still need a comprehensive system to manage their contacts.
4. PLAXO (www.plaxo.com) - If you could combine LinkedIn with Facebook, you'd get Plaxo. Sync your other email accounts within it and you're good to go.
5. HIGHRISE HQ (www.highrisehq.com) - My latest addiction, this contact management system lets you tag your contacts, create to-do items and archive email communications. Not bad for $29 a month.
