You want your clients’ trust. You want your family and friends to know you care about what is going on in their lives. You pay attention to what they talk about. You reach out during important moments. But your relationship management "system" is failing you: spreadsheets, notes, to-do lists, emojis, and a contacts app that hasn't helped you manage relationships since the first iPhone. It's cumbersome, lacks sophistication, and is hard to maintain. What if your address book was more than just a list of names, numbers, and scattered notes? What if it actually helped you improve your relationships?
