Contact
management functionality enables users to organize name, address,
telephone, and e-mail information, as well as record and track relationship
history details. Contact management is how one person can keep track
of their relationships with many people and can be used by anyone
whose success is a function of those relationships.
Many small companies
and salespeople are already familiar with the simplest and most
commonly used sales automation tool; contact management software.
Applications such as ACT! software were some of the earliest sales
automation tools, and individual sales professionals and small workgroups
still use them for managing contact information from their desktops
or laptops.
Although contact
management products represent an inexpensive and often very effective
way for individuals to manage their contacts and sales leads, they
are limited in functionality and organizational "reach."
Contact management
tools are generally designed for individuals, not sales teams and
often these tools are located only in the Sales department. They
are optimized for the sales-focused user, and are rarely as useful
for other functions such as customer support. Therefore, a company
can outgrow the usefulness of contact management tools over time.
