I do more of inside sales work though. Personally I have notebooks just filled full of orders (each order gets about 1/3 of a page. ) I havn't seen anything that would work, but one idea that one of my co-workers uses is a prescripted piece of paper that he makes copies of. This is so for every call he has he gets every piece of information from that caller befor he hangs up.. call back number/name/buisness/pricing/quote numbers ect. These he then sends to our sales assistant who scans them all to a private folder for himself. He told me he has at least 2 years worth of orders in there.

Open Notepad. On the first line type the following: .LOG then press Enter Save this file as My Daily Log Every time you open this file, a new date & time stamp will be placed on the next available line. Here you type your notes, comments, etc, beneath that date & time, then close it and be sure to save it. As you mentioned: " I write notes all over everything" It would be simpler to open the notepad file each time an event occurs, and the file will remain in tact, aside from loosing valuable paper work. In addition to this, depending on your Microsoft Office skills, you can create simple database structure with MS Word, for mail merging purposes. MS Excel for financial tracking, & Mail merging MS Access, for a Relational DataBase to take care of all your need. Hope this helps dotcom Hello Tyler…,
