    Contracts - do you need an actual signature?!

    Cold-calling potential clients: I hate myself.

    Hey Geoff, Sorry for not making myself clear. I personally used a scaled down version of Eloqua. As mentioned in my previous post there's also Silverpop. Do check 'em out.

    @ leelovesbikestoo - Hey Lee. I checked out Mailchimp. Looks pretty good, especially if you're just dipping your toes into the automated marketing world. Couple of key things missing though: Unknown mail server sendout. No spam filter checker for the free version No social media integration...

    Contracts - do you need an actual signature?!

    Sourcing tools for designers

    Hello boys and girls, I'm new to the forum. I found this place by Google-ing the oddest thing. Not gonna say what... I just thought it might be worth throwing my hat in the ring here. As an IT company I deal with a lot of the hardware and software that designers use day in and day out . I know...
