How to Maintain Good Relationships with Everyone? In addition to being sincere, we need effective methods to maintain relationships. If there’s a method, there can also be a useful tool. “iFish” is an app that helps manage interpersonal relationships. Just like CRM (Customer Relationship Management) helps manage client relationships, “iFish” helps manage personal relationships. It’s a PRM (Person Relationship Management) tool. When you have a wide network of relationships—family, friends, classmates, clients, business partners—“iFish” becomes a handy tool, allowing you to navigate these relationships effortlessly. Alternatively, you can also use “iFish” as a life journaling tool, focusing on recording interactions with individuals. With continuous logging, it can later become a storybook, memory collection, or even a footprint map with someone. “iFish” helps you record and preserve memories (which is valuable) and provides reminders and suggestions to improve relationships (which is also valuable). Here’s what you can record: 1. Events that happened or are scheduled with people. 2. Conversations with people. 3. Financial transactions with people. 4. Important dates related to people. 5. Complete individual profiles. 6. Gift records. 7. People’s hobbies, habits, skills & abilities. 8. Address records. 9. And more features being added! Here’s what the tool offers: 1. To-do reminders related to people. 2. Smart suggestions for managing people. 3. Important date reminders. 4. Relationship network. 5. Skill explorer. 6. Like ranking. 7.
