LeadCommander is not just a standard contact database software with marketing features added as an afterthought. The prospecting, lead-generation and marketing tools necessary to drive new traffic into your business are key components engineered directly into the core of LeadCommander's system. This results in a smooth, flowing marketing and lead generating system that enables you to quickly and easily pluck "ripe" prospects from a list of leads, while at the same time its leading customer relationship management abilities enables you to strengthen existing relationships.

Often mis-categorized as a contact or customer relationship manager - CRM -, LeadCommander is a complete lead-generation, marketing and follow-up system that includes contact and customer relationship management features that extend far beyond the functions of pure contact and customer relationship managers. If you've ever used a contact or customer relationship manager, you know how cumbersome it is to update multiple contact records when you complete a task for the group, or try to schedule a series of activities based on of one of your marketing or follow-up campaigns! Why is that? Because contact managers typically focus strictly on helping you manage contacts on a one-on-one basis.

LeadCommander, on the other hand, concentrates on helping you establish new relationships with its lead-generation and prospecting tools, as well as provides you with the means to nurture existing relationships, all at the same time. That's not to say LeadCommander can't be used as a contact or customer relationship manager. To the contrary, LeadCommander's revolutionary contact management capabilities include the most powerful follow-up tools available anywhere. For example, most sales and marketing professionals don't just work with contacts one by one, they often work with groups of contacts at a time, for example when marketing or prospecting. Thus, LeadCommander's "extended-reach" contact management features enable you to work with groups just as easily as individual contacts. You can update groups of contacts in one-fell-swoop, schedule a series of various activities to a group of contacts (perfect for marketing campaigns, sales cycles. etc.), and even manage various projects at the same time!

First released in 1994 to address the marketing needs of the real estate industry, LeadCommander was quickly adopted by real estate professionals as the prospecting and lead-generation system of choice. Endorsements by the nation's largest title insurance company and by Apple's software subsidiary enabled DataBasix Technologies to continue integrating new marketing technologies into LeadCommander's repertoire. Today, LeadCommander is a leading edge contact, marketing and customer relationship management system that enables any business to easily build and maintain a solid prospect and customer base.
