Salesforce. You can get the Developer Edition for free which has all features enabled. Or you can just pay $300 for a 1 year license.
Within a day of using Salesforce, even though I hadn’t fully set it up yet, I had a wave of relief wash over me. Just seeing names, data, events, etc put in the system took out a lot of unconscious anxiety I had in my mind about managing my relationships.
Yes it’s not perfect, yes it’s a little bit of enterprise overkill, but it works and I know it’s going to be around.
- eindiran 8y agoCan you expand on this a little bit? I'm not sure if I have the right impression but I thought Salesforce was intended as a sales and accounting tool for businesses. Is this an intended use case, or is this a creative repurposing of the tool?
- Bucephalus355 8y agoIt’s meant to track Contacts as one of it’s primary features. I then use “Accounts” as buckets / groups to put people in. Pretty straight forward use of the product. MonicaHQ has better features I think (don’t think it has a mobile app though since it’s written in PHP), but how you manage your contacts is a huge life spanning project. I hate to play the typical “enterprise software” card here, but you really want to make sure it’s going to be around a long time, not to mention secure.
