I have a list of contractors (name, phone, email, etc) that I want to contact - and eventually get bids. Right now I would like to keep track of which ones have been sent an initial email, a time stamp for that would also be good. Maybe even record any response. If there were a nice way to select and export the contact info for certain contractors that would be nice. I have a list of around 40 and I want to contact them in batches of 5. Maybe I could pick 5, export the addresses to Thunderbird and send initial requests. Any suggestions? Thank you.
