I am looking for a piece of IBM PC software which can be used by my sales force
to keep records on current and prospective clients.  In addition the package
should be able to record details of calls and contact dates so as to ensure
different salesmen do not contact the same client within a short time scale.

I have already located two packages, namely Tracker and ACT!, but I would like
to evaluate more if they are available.  If anyone has experience of using such
packages then I would be grateful for any advice or recommendations in this
area.  Would I be better off using a simple database tailored to my needs or
are the dedicated packages a better solution?

The system will be used by more than one salesman but I do not envisage a 
multi-user or networked solution at this stage since my sales force is fairly
small.

Thanks,

Richard
