Contacts and companies
Contacts and companies are the bread and butter of any contact management system, and that includes Less Annoying CRM. Any person, vendor, prospect, networking partner etc. starts off as either a contact or a company in LACRM. You can then take notes, set follow-up reminders, and store whatever information you want on these contact and company profiles.
This section contains articles that will help you get started on adding new contacts and companies into your CRM account, so that you can start managing your relationships!
