We all have our favorite tools for keeping track of customers and figuring out the best way to keep in touch with them.
After all, that's what business automation is supposed to do.
But here's the thing.
Cloud based business tools have gotten so complicated --- and expensive --- they slow you down to where you probably think you'd be better off without them.
Plus, tech support is a real pain.
And when you do get through you are fed tedious instructions that lock you into working the way those smart techies want you to work.
Years ago I discovered a way around this problem and to this day still consider it the gold standard of contact management.
Called TeleMagic, it makes everything so much easier...faster... and simpler.
Still does this for me and maybe will do the same for you.
Of course, other cloud-based CRM "solutions" are better known than TeleMagic.
Give them a try...but before you buy here's an article worth a read because it sums up the problems with CRM promises vs. real-world results and how users end up unhappy with whatever CRM they are using.https://www.forbes.com/sites/quickerbettertech/2013/07/01/11-terrible-crm-systems-for-your-company/?sh=1db2e30039dd
Of course, you'll probably think this article outdated since it was written over ten years ago.
But for me, the points it brings up are pretty much the same now as way back when.
What's great about TeleMagic is it really does work!
Not just for rapid contact management but also things like taking care of your existing customers by letting you know when you need to interact with them and exactly what needs to get done.

No matter which CRM you are using you still have to put in your data and be able to use that information for managing your database and building good quality lists.
