[consulting] Customer Relationship Management software

[Harry Slaughter]

I'm starting to see that one of my toughest problems as an independent 
consultant is going to be managing client interaction.

I'm already juggling more leads and gigs than I can keep track of. And 
I'm not used to handling client interaction directly. Even a crappy 
product manager can usually filter out a lot of client noise :)

I've been installing and trying out various FLOSS CRM packages. The ones 
that aren't pure junk tend to be too fancy.

So far, I'm leaning towards SugarCRM, though I'm having trouble with it 
straight out of the box, and I hate to spend time debugging stuff that's 
supposed to be saving me time.

I'm wondering what other folks are using, if anything. If you don't use 
CRM, what do you use?
