The best solution for maintaining your most important assets (your customers) is the use of a CRM, or Contact Relationship Manager, software. There are a few choices. During my software consulting years, I specialized in CRM's. Prices for this type of software swing wildly, and before you decide to purchase there are a few factors to consider: First; how quickly is your business growing? The right CRM can grow with you.
