If Contact Lists Could Talk

A talking contact list? Surly you jest! Well, literally they cannot talk, but the information that lies within can speak volumes about your organization and preparedness for your small business. What kind of contact list are you employing? Rolodex? Little black book? Spreadsheet? Outlook? These antiquated systems worked just fine and dandy during their heyday, but your contact list could be much more advanced and helpful in today’s small business world.

ContactMe offers so many features that your old contact list will never be the same. By simply utilizing a free ContactMe button on all your web presences, potential customers can click on it and submit a form for contacting you. When this is done, you will be notified that they were automatically added to your small business contact list. Let’s see a rolodex do that!

Contact lists on ContactMe allow you to easily set a status on each customer, so you can quickly see if they are a current customer or a potential customer, as well as what actions need to be taken in regards to each customer. These statuses can be changed with the click of a button, so your contact list can be current and relevant with very little effort. Just take a peek at your contact list, and it will tell you everything you need to know about your small business customers.

ContactMe also provides a calendar as part of the contact list features.  Take a quick glimpse at your calendar and see which customers on your contact list need action in the coming days.  That’s a lot easier than sifting through old emails and post-it notes trying to determine which of your small business customers are due to receive an invoice or a shipment. Organization like this will please those on your contact list because they will see that you are professional and your small business is running like a well-oiled machine. A happy customer is a paying customer!

Starting and sustaining a small business is never and easy task, but if you utilize the ContactMe features to the fullest, your contact list will speak to you and allow you to take action in a timely manner.
