Question for PMs who deal with hiring / managing creative freelancers. What platform / app do you use for having all your freelancers contacts info in one place. Do you have a company wide database or you just create your own spreadsheets for that? Thank you!

Def start on a spreadsheet, best way to understand your real requirements, so you can make an informed choice. Much good software never gets used because needs weren't clear.

Depends on the size of your org but when I was working at smaller agencies I just kept a spreadsheet with the info, no need to over complicate things

I’ve always kept my own personal spreadsheet of the contacts I’ve made which I take with me everywhere I go. Your HR should get enough applications if you want new blood, but I find reaching out to my network and asking them if they have recommendations if and when I have specific needs

Looking to get into SaaS sales but my experience is in construction and fine furniture (I was a sales manager and was able to lead my team of 4 people to consistently hit 450k monthly targets).

I have also considered a sales analyst role considering that I am moderately versed in Salesforce and have worked both the customer facing and sales generating side. TIA!
