Managing relationships in life is a bit different fron managing relationships for business; you don’t need a software solution to help you keep track. It’s those personal relationships that matter and that are more important, which make it easier to remember details about people and conversations. Although different, your business relationships should still have that personal touch.
Although it seems like the primary use of a phone is becoming less about calling and more about texting, there is nothing more personal than a phone call.
