Photographer David Burke wrote in to tell us how he relies on Highrise to manage his business relationships.
Coming from one of the "little guys" in the business world, I have to tell you that Highrise is a gift to me! Managing my relationships is crucial for my business. Until Highrise, my system was a mess...This is THE BEST piece of software in my workflow. Thank you, Thank you!
Here is how Highrise helps me:
1. Easily exported vCard(s) from Mac Address Book and imported to Highrise for starters.
2. Easy to export from Highrise to sync with my Address Book and Quickbooks.
3. Forwarding emails to automatically generate tasks per contact! Genius! Braindead simple to set up.
4. Keeping track of all communication in form of notes, tasks and emails is effortless.
5. Best feature, my wife/office manager can use it! It's that simple :-) (shhhh.. don't tell her I said that!)
Thank you for such an awesome product! I am spreading the word to everyone.

Being a photographer, my photo tools are priceless, but the biggest part of my business is managing relationships. Before Highrise, we had a mish-mash of emails, address books, blackbooks, etc... It was really hard to manage and to find things because they were so spread out. Now, everything is in one place! Easy to find and manage. It makes it fun!!!It was so easy to export our Mac Address Book and other contacts from email accounts, etc... It is also easy to export from Highrise and bring them in the other way.
Keeping track of tasks per client, notes, emails and schedules is a breeze. I HIGHLY Recommend trying this out. 37signals always offers a free plan for starters and upgraded plans for when your business grows. So if you are looking for a fantastic way to manage your relationships, be sure to give Highrise a try.
