How to Sign Up for a Salesforce.com Personal Edition Account
If you don't want to pay for software, yet you want to track your customers and calendar from any location with an Internet connection, a Salesforce.com account may help. Salesforce.com, a leader in customer relationship management (CRM) services, has a little known free account for individuals. The Personal Edition account offers fewer services than the paid corporate editions, but is useful for many individual business owners.

Tips & Warnings
Instead of entering the information for your contacts, you can import that data from Outlook, ACT! or other CRM programs.
Once you have entered data, you can choose from over a dozen reports to run.
After you have entered data, you can synchronize the information with Outlook or your PDA.
If your business grows, you can upgrade your free Personal Edition to a paid corporate edition and still retain your previous login and data.
The Personal Edition does not include any free customer support; however, paid support is available. Salesforce.com help files are also included in the system.
