What is a Contact & Customer Manager?

A contact and customer manager allows you to manage all tasks and information related to developing and maintaining relationships with people, groups, and companies with whom you do business.

Built on the foundation of a contact-centered, relational database, contact and customer management software provides comprehensive tracking and instant access to all contact-related information. It's intuitively designed for the day-to-day management of contact information by an individual, workgroup, or corporate team.

A personal information manager (PIM) will contain isolated (as opposed to integrated) components.  It's harder to find related information and obtain a holistic view of a contact.

Contact and customer management provides a 360-degree view of your contact information so you don't have to jump from one application to another to complete a task, plan your day, or execute your sales strategies.

Contact and customer management software is a tool to improve the way you build your professional image. It empowers you to focus on profitable endeavors, such as outshining your competition, by minimizing the time you spend on routine tasks. It's an essential tool for consistently transforming contacts into customers and first-time customer into loyal relationships.
