I'm so excited to see this opportunity come your way! I have no experience whatsoever with government contracts to offer though.

Has anyone got any recs for good CRM out there? I need something where I can pull in lots of contact info, complete with photos and links, and differentiate between prospects and contacts, and then keep records of any interactions. Integration with Evernote would be awesome. Oh, yeah, and mail chimp. It should integrate with mail chimp.

Liese, I just started looking at CoachAccountable today. I have no idea how good it will end up being, And, I suspect it has a lot of stuff you won't need, but the interface is terrific and you can use it free with no ccard for 30 days.

I have tried several other CRMs and failed miserably.
On another note, I'm working on integrating Slack: slack dot com, into the petcare company's team and communication functions. It looks promising.
eta: Slack integrates with mailshrimp and pretty much every other app in the world.
etaa: because mailshrimp is way funnier. And now, I've got a picture of this guy working in the mail room, stuck in my head.
(Of course, I meant 'mailchimp')

I read bonny's last line as "mailshrimp" and LOVED IT.

We just started using Slack and Wunderlist internally. So far I like them both. Wunderlist is amazing for team based To Do and project tracking.
I don't have a good CRM. I've used part of the Salesforce system, and I'm not a huge fan. I'm sure it's great if that is your full time job, but it is so complicated.

We use Slack in my office. It's pretty effective.

We are doing a Slack training next week and are talking to the developers about integrating the mail function in the petcare portal with it.
The company currently uses Smartermail, which doesn't work well for us at all.
Fingers crossed that the oldsters among us can get with the times. (Meaning me!)

I'm currently working on putting together a ROM (rough order of magnitude) cost for a project in Macau, which would be great, but I've never had to assign numbers to something where I have so little information. I understand that ROM numbers can have variances of + or - 50% in most cases, but it's just an odd experience for me.
I've also never tackled what it would take to work out international travel like this in a bid. It's good, it means the company is growing in a very good way, but it is stressful.
