agent contact database

[DodgyAgent]

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.

We use the back of a fag packet, I can let you have a copy for £10k.

A bit of a problem for all those non-smoking agents then? And thinking about it, who needs a contact db as an agent when you simply do a word search on the folder that stores contractor and permie cvs (obviously not seperated) for skills such as "developer" and simply mailshot every contact that comes up..

I sold a copy of my "fag packet" to SASGuru, who tells me that he has managed squeeze the names and contacts of all his friends with room to spare to store everything he knows about global warming and IT.

The database is stored on my mobileme server and can be updated from my phone or either of me Mac's.

Like all those database things it only works if you spend the time updating it and as such I don't actually apart from the agents that really £$@£$ me off.

After my first contract I've never bothered. Either an agent has a job for me or they don't
The former stay in touch as it's in their benefit, the latter self filter themselves

And you'd already filled it with detailed instructions on differentiating between your arse and your elbow.
