Highrise makes it easy to get the upper hand in your business relationships.
Highrise gives you one easy place to track everything about your business relationships.
Dear business owner,
There’s something other business owners aren’t doing — and you should know because it gives you an advantage.
Think about this: How many phone calls, emails, text messages and face-to-face conversations go through your office every day? Between customers, vendors, partners, suppliers, employees... there are a ton of conversations whizzing by.
Now think about this: how much do you actually remember from those conversations?
Each contact has a complete, dated record that prepares you for the next call or meeting.
When a dispute happens, do you have an exact record of every conversation, dated and logged? Or do you rely on your fuzzy memory to make an argument?
When you walk into a meeting, how much background do have about each person? How prepared are you, really?
Here's the secret: most businesses a) don't keep track of this stuff and b) aren't prepared when a dispute or important call comes up.
You can be the exception — the one who is always prepared, because there's a software tool that makes it easy: It's called Highrise.
Read on to see how Highrise gives your business an advantage...
Here’s how Highrise gives you the upper hand:
- Walk in prepared. Have the whole back story when you walk into a meeting. Each contact in Highrise has a simple log of notes so you can recall details from the past.
- Track promises from vendors, partners and clients before a problem ever occurs. Enter a quick note in Highrise, and when disputes happen you’ll be ahead with a dated record of the whole issue.
- Never forget to follow-up. Instead of going to your agenda, let Highrise tell you to follow up. Highrise will send you a text message or email so you never forget to make the call.
- Always know where to find everything. Stop fumbling with papers and filing cabinets. Highrise lets you attach notes and documents right on a page for the contact they are about. You’ll have one place to find the info you need.
- Sleep well at night. Life is easier when you have a system remembering things for you. Information goes into Highrise so you can get it out of your mind and off your shoulders.
- Declutter your email inbox. Forward emails to Highrise and they will be automatically filed under the correct contact for easy reference.
- Share with your team. It’s embarassing when the right hand doesn’t know what the left is doing. Highrise gives your team one place to see the latest status. Find out who talked to a person last, what they said, and who is supposed to follow up.
- Keep things simple. Don’t waste time with complicated software. Highrise is made by ease-of-use experts. There’s nothing to install or update. Just sign in to the web site. No “computer guy” required.
When you can do all these things, you have a real advantage.

Contacts
- Store thousands of contacts (depending on your plan)
- Tag contacts to easily find them (“Press,” “Real estate,” etc.)
- Track important dates on each contact. Date hired, date of last review, and so on.
- You control the privacy of your contacts when you use Highrise with a team. Set a contact so you are the only one who can see it. Or make it available to a select group of people, or your whole company.
- Each contact has a place for ‘background’ information, like how you met them or a short bio.
- Your contacts can be companies or people. You can easily associate people with companies. Then when you view the company, you’ll see a combined history of all the people who work at that company.
Notes, Emails & History
- Store an unlimited number of notes on your contacts. Each note has a date and appears in a timeline.
- Notes can be as simple as one paragraph. Just type and hit “Add” and you’re done.
- You can make private notes that the rest of your team can’t see.
- Automatically email co-workers when a note is added to keep them up to date.
- Forward emails to Highrise and the emails will be filed under the correct contacts.

- A “file view” makes it easy to see just the files you’ve attached to your contacts.
