I’m frustrated with the lack of the “killer application” comprehensive Contact Management.
Plaxo has a fragment of it (The great external pariticpation). LinkedIn has a fragment of it (The Bio and Connection). Corex Cardscan has a fragment of it (The rolodex metaphor). Outlook has a fragment of it (Speaks to Plaxo and Corex). Act has a fragment of it (the Sales Funnel). But no one has “it” (i.e., Like, in Lord of the Rings, One Ring to control them all).
I’ve even thought about writing my own app using MySQL. But, that’s a daunting task. Several have tried in Fat Client or Web-based, but they didn’t capture “it”. So I wonder if “it” is capture-able.
So does anyone else share my frustration? Sometimes I think I’d be better off with paper and pencil!
Fustratedly,
Fjohn









One way to improve your productivity is to effectively manage the way you capture contacts into your contact manager. Typically, sales pros spend 20% of their in manually entering contacts. I know of a company- eGrabber Inc- that automates this process. All you need to do is highlight the contact info and click; their software will capture the info into your database.
