CRM, contact management software..

FredFarnes · 04-13-2009, 03:27 PM

I'm working to build a good list of active affiliates, and find that I'm wasting time keeping track of my contacts and following up.

There are a variety of affiliates, they do not all market the same way. eg some do email marketing some do seo targeting.

Do any members here use a CRM or contact management system that integrates to email? I'd like to be able to look up an affiliate, see our recent emails, and some data about them (website etc) and also be able to see who needs follow-up attention and who doesn't.

Any suggestions? Low budget is better.

Or perhaps I'm going about this the wrong way? Should I just scrap all this detail work and send out generic info to my affiliates (no personalized conversation).

Thanks for any advice.

Look around at Sourceforge there a plenty of free options, but you have to install it yourself.
