Free Contractors Software

free contractors software
Is there a free software to keep track of outbound sales calls?

I sell electrical supplies to contractors and also safety and construction supplies to cities and towns.
I write notes all over everything!
Is there a free or inexpensive, simple software to database and track your customers, when you call them, what was said, etc?
I know that there is because i used it for another job years ago but i can’t remember what it was called.

Hello Tyler…,

One method for note taking and date & Time tracking is to simply use Notepad, wait before you think this is crazy, read on…

Open Notepad. On the first line type the following:
.LOG
then press Enter
Save this file as My Daily Log
Every time you open this file, a new date & time stamp will be placed on the next available line. Here you type your notes, comments, etc, beneath that date & time, then close it and be sure to save it.

As you mentioned: ” I write notes all over everything”
It would be simpler to open the notepad file each time an event occurs, and the file will remain in tact, aside from loosing valuable paper work.

In addition to this, depending on your Microsoft Office skills, you can create simple database structure with MS Word, for mail merging purposes.
MS Excel for financial tracking, & Mail merging
MS Access, for a Relational DataBase to take care of all your need.

Hope this helps
