Streak (http://www.streak.com/) has been a good start for us. Upsides are that it's flexible enough to match most pipeline progressions, exports to CSV, supports mail merge, and allows you to easily track emails.

Our main issue has been that in person meetings and calls are difficult to log and keep track of, and as we've progressed towards those its become less and less useful.

If most of your interactions happen via email however, Streak is a great flexible (and currently free) tool.

"Our main issue has been that in person meetings and calls are difficult to log and keep track of, and as we've progressed towards those its become less and less useful."

We're working on handling this better - the main idea will be to let you log meetings or phone calls really easily, but under the hood, its still an email (and all the benefits that come with it).

Hey, founder of callinize (http://www.callinize.com) here. We developed an integration for streak.com which will allow you to log calls to boxes automatically!

+1 for streak, we use it here internally and love it.

Feel free to reach out to me at blake [at] callinize.com

This is what I found when I tried to install it, do you think a non-consumer would change to a google chrome? I like how they didn't even bother with creating an IE toolbar, god knows how awful that is.
