Ask HN: How useful is a personal CRM?

11 pointspmandedev3 comments

I have never heard of a personal CRM (personal customer relationship manager) until recently. Others refer to it as personal relationship manager.

So I am curious to know, how often people use a Personal CRM?, How useful is it?

What are your views on Personal CRM software?

This Show HN post from 2017[0] for the Monica personal CRM has quite a bit of good discussion on personal CRMs in general. For some reason this anecdote[1] in particular has stuck with me.

Thanks for the links.

For two job searches I did I made an "application tracking system" which kept track of the workflow for sucking in job listings, filtering out spam and duplicates, sending resumes and cover letters, interviews, etc. It even had a machine learning model to help prioritize listings for review.

I think the story of the ATS got me a job on the first interview for the first time, the next one took a little longer.
