Question: What software is absolutely essential to you

Two other things I find essential about Intellect is the ability to run reports on the contacts and its flexibility to customize. This helps me market to clients but also allows me to keep 2400+ names segmented between business and personal. When I want to find emails, tasks, appointments, or memos pertaining to anyone in the db, I just click on their name. For $60, I believe it is a steal for anyone who needs a PIM with a strong email client.

AskSam has two features I find essential; 1. When capturing a web page while doing research for a client, there is a little pop-up form with “Keywords” being on of the fields. I can put the client’s name in that field that the web page pertains to. This means the sorted display in AskSam can be by client right away without my having to categorize the newly added pages. It also means I can throw web pages in there at any time for any client if I just happen to stumble upon something. 2. I prefer the way the search results are displayed from a query.

I’ll add how I use Brainstorm later.
