Have you ever needed to find a phone number or email address for a client or prospect, but were not in front of your computer? 

Maybe your Contact Management Software offers a mobile login, but you're on the road and don't have time to login and search for the contact information you need.

BigContacts gives you the ability to send an email directly to the system and ask for the results of a certain last name.  Let's say you're looking for a client with the last name of "Doe".  You can send an email directly to your BigContacts email dropbox and in the subject line enter the following: 

"search"  "last name"

(ex: search Doe)

The key thing here is to make sure that you have one space between the word "search" and your contacts last name.

Additionally, you can search using the first name of a person or the company name.  Each of these search modes would look like this in the subject line of your email.

First Name search - "search" (enter the contact first name here)

ex. "search" "Frank"

Company Name Search - "search" (enter the company name here)

ex. "search" "IBM"

Within 15 minutes you will receive an email back with the search results of the system.  The email will deliver the phone numbers and email addresses for all the contacts that match that name.

If you are viewing the results on your smart phone you can simply click on the phone number or email address that you need and initiate your call or email right then and there. No logging in and searching - just a quick query of your database and fast results right there in your email inbox.
