Finding a solid contact management system can make or break your business efforts. We use systems to organize and track our work, which is especially important when running a business. The right contact management system can eliminate hours of unnecessary paperwork and reduce stress.

I've taken the time to list what I consider to be the top contact management resources to help you stay organized and keep your business model efficient so you can focus your energies on building relationships and increasing your revenue.

1. VTIGER (www.vtiger.com) - A great open source software that can be installed on your server.

2. SUGAR CRM (www.sugarcrm.com) - Another extremely easy to use software. Not as robust as others, unless you want to pay for the pro version.

3. ZOHO (www.zoho.com) - This free application is great for the non-tech savvy individuals who still need a comprehensive system to manage their contacts.

4. PLAXO (www.plaxo.com) - Think LinkedIn meets Facebook. Plaxo has improved its features by integrating a social networking aspect to its' site. Sync your other email accounts to it and it will update your calendar, address book and to-do list.

5. HIGHRISE HQ (www.highrisehq.com) - Perfect for the solopreneurs who need to keep their contacts online. Tag and connect all your contacts to specific cases (aka projects) and keep important data together in one place.
