I tried a few CRM apps & settled on Sellf - simple, links well with your contacts & calendar & it's quick to add opportunities.

If so, what?

I'm getting to the point now where LinkedIn isn't enough and I want to organise my contacts better. Also possibly work the network a bit better. CRM seems like a good option for me.

What do the panel use?
