Ask HN: Best CRM solution for bootstrapped startup?

by thewordpainter on 6/27/11, 2:00 AM with 2 comments

i'm long overdue to adopt a program, but now that our b2c startup is entering the b2b market, it's definitely time.

here are the three biggest things i'm looking for:

-notifications when to followup with certain people -notifications if contact never responded to email (does any service offer this??) -a system that organizes my contacts by priority ( i currently http://gist.com to put my contacts in perspective, but it's just a reference -- not actionable for me)

i'm looking for a free service at this point to use between two of us -- any suggestions?

what is your CRM of choice? specifically, what makes it great? thanks!

    I'm not sure how the functionality has evolved since I last saw it, but I worked on the initial build of http://www.contactme.com/

    Figured I'd throw that into your pool of options

    I like CapsuleCRM (http://capsulecrm.com), it works great and their pricing is great for young companies.
