Call TMZ. BatchBook CRM and FreshBooks kissing in public!
Rumour: BatchBook and FreshBooks may be dating.
If you’re like me, you meet a lot of new people all the time. People who could turn into potential clients. We all know that keeping track of all those people is really difficult. It’s just that life is more difficult if you don’t keep up. Your business depends on it!
Enter BatchBook, a social CRM. Unlike other CRMs, BatchBook is focused on being part of your Web. For instance, they seamlessly import your contacts from GMail. They inhale Twitter, Delicious, and RSS streams. And my favourite: do you remember Shoeboxed, whom we recently told you will turn your paper receipts into expenses in FreshBooks? Well, BatchBook will also import business cards scanned by Shoeboxed. Talk about a Web of tools!
And now BatchBook syncs with FreshBooks. Turn contacts in BatchBook into clients in FreshBooks with a single click, and then stay on top of their outstanding invoices all within BatchBook. That’s pretty slick. Have a look at the screencast to see how it works. If you’re impressed, you can sign up for BatchBook free forever if you’re only one person.

Due to your partnership with BatchBooks (I am a great fan of Freshbooks), I took a long hard look at their application as I am shopping for a CRM.
Features match.
But the look and feel just doesn’t match Freshbooks standards.
I couldn’t imagine spending hours of my day working in that unattractive an interface. It would be great to see you expand your network of CRM and email applications with which you can sync.
I am particularly interested in Highrise and JavelinCRM on the CRM side. On the email side, it’s harder. A combined solution I am looking at is Relenta.
