agent contact database

[chef]

What do you use to keep track of agents contact details combined with what the latest info is re: jobs applied?

The obvoius is outlook for the contacts and an excel spreadsheet for keeping track of applications but Im wondering if there is a better all in one solution out there and also if anyone else uses another method/other programs.

Shh this is SASGuru's niche. He is currently learning java in his eco shed and hopes to have an alpha build out in early 2014.

All applications are done with email so I just folder them, the ones that come to nothing I delete, the ones which turn out to be genuine I keep

I use springpad, google docs and office live for everything now. And a pad and pen, you never know when that will come in handy.

Im thinking more of between contracts is usually a while and i have a lot of contacts in outlook i.e colleagues, family, friends and agents and i was wondering if there is a way to categorise the agents to be seperate so after a contract has ended I have an easy list of agents to contact along with knowing what our last contact was i.e a job app i applied for or simply someone who has contacted me but it led to nothing.

In short, the same as (i would expect) agents have about contractors, inc. Other details than just contact, but from the opposite side of the fence so to say. Is there such a program?

I use SugarCRM. A bit full on to use a web app, but I host it in house and can access it while on the road. You can customise the fields and categorise your leads/contacts/accounts. Even run sales campaigns.

As I say, probably a bit full on for your needs, but it's what I use anyway.

You can add categories and notes to the contacts in outlook. You can also find all the emails to/from a particular contact from within the contact details.
