I feel like no-one has managed to build a small-business CRM (like his Shoebox CRM) effectively yet. I run a one-person business and I'm still using a colour-coded Excel sheet to try and figure out when I should bug sales prospects.

www.contactually.com has tried pretty hard, but even their UI is too complex. I just need one person to be reminded to reach out to today. And by the way, can you do it for me, Software?

  Like keeping your company accounting in an Excel spreadsheet, too easy to make mistakes, forget how certain features you've built work, and doesn't scale beyond a single user.
