It’s great to know that there are some valuable tools and apps online to help you focus in this way.

As a freelance contractor much of your success will be determined by your relationships with others. You therefore need to make sure that you keep up-to-date with people’s contact details. There’s nothing worse than fumbling around trying to find an important e-mail or phone number when there’s a lot at stake. An app like Contactually is perfect to help you manage all those details in one place.
 
While you may work with an umbrella company when it comes to signing important contracts, as a freelancer nevertheless from time to time you find that it’s necessary to sign contracts on your own.
