This looks useful. How much does it cost? Is there a way for me to download a backup of all my cards? Better remove the delay on the home page. It's annoyin

The price is $10/month. But we are planning huge discounts for some campaigns. Try it for the 2 weeks free trial; if you want to buy it, send a email to the contact with your HN username and you will have a great discount! EDIT: And about the backup, we are already building the feature to export everything to Excel!

  The inquiry about the cost may have been a too oblique suggestion that you need to tell what it costs on the web site.

  $10/month seems a bit expensive considering the functionality and feature set. That said, I don't know too much about the space. Also, you should build a better pricing page. The "Buy" tab just sends you to a free trial registration with no explanation of pricing or anything. I'm usually reticent to sign up for the "free trial" without having any idea of what the end pricing structure will be.

    Funny. My thought was exactly the opposite: too cheap. I pay Netflix about $10/month for a significantly less valuable service than bringing in new customers. That to me sets the pricing floor for any business webapp.

      Exactly. Bottom tier should be $49, with another tier up at $99, and possibly a top "enterprise tier" at $199.

    If $10 is too much to spend on a tool to help you acquire new customers you are probably not doing enough business to invest any money at all in tools. A lead-to-sale conversion should net you a very large multiple of that $10 if you're doing outbound telemarketing otherwise you'll never make back your investment in time in the first place!

  Sounds good. :) You could charge more. Consider partnering with some cold-calling experts to sell classes, videos, and coaching services. I took a cold-calling class taught by Taariq Lewis https://www.linkedin.com/in/taariq https://www.linkedin.com/in/taariq . It was extremely helpful. Actually I would say it was necessary. Cold calling is the most difficult thing I have ever done professionally. Taking that class gave me the basic skills to start cold calling. I used Trello for managing contact info. Cold Call Manager looks like it would be a lot better. Consider mobile integration: - 'Call' button on contact cards. - Interaction cards appear automatically when I make/receive a call. Put buttons on the empty cards with common interactions like "Not Receptive", "Blocked by Assistant", and "Went to Voicemail". - When I get a callback (yay!), Cold Call Manager can pop up that contact on my computer. - Load my cold-call contacts into my phone's address book. That lets me see who is calling even if I'm not in front of my computer. Consider email integration: Create interaction cards automatically whenever I communicate with a contact via email. Provide positive affirmations inside the web app: - Keep trying. - I can do this. - <contact> needs <product>. - <contact> needs me to tell them about our product. Analysis: - Categorize contacts - Contacts and interactions reports Gamification: - Set goals - Automatically email co-founders when goals are reached
