You know that people remember how you make them feel, and you want people to feel remembered. You pay attention. You reach out. You ask about the thing that everyone else forgets. You are a connector who brings people together. You are the account manager your clients love. But your contact management system is made up of disconnected tools: spreadsheets, notes, to-do lists, emojis, and a contacts app that hasn't changed since the first iPhone. Be the person others remember because you always remember what matters to them. Install Dextr, a personal CRM for professional and personal contact management and organization.
