Let's get organized

The two main kinds of information that you'll need to capture and organize are e-mail addresses and information resources. People who send you e-mail are business prospects and their e-mail addresses should be stored. You can accomplish this by storing them on in a folder, directory or e-mail box. If your e-mail program allows you to, categorize incoming e-mail addresses into subject headings that relate to the specific products or services you offer. As you participate in discussion groups you'll encounter interesting Net resources, competitive sites and potential prospects. Capture them immediately or you may never find them again. To store this information, keep a separate text file or word-processing document open at all times and copy interesting URLs, mailing list references, and Net resources.
