I think that what would be most helpful would be for these "best practices" to be built into a DayLite database than can be used as a template - and not just for photographers. These blank databases could be shared via Marketcircle's servers.

It might even be very useful, for the community, if Marketcircle would actually host a live database with selected users from the respective fields allowed to actually modify it. These "experts" would create everything from letter templates to activity sets. The MC folks would periodically take "snapshots" of the live database and post it as the current template. If there are enough experts, then we could even get multiple templates based on various criteria. For example, some lawyers might create various templates for different types of practices or states. Photographers might have different templates based on wedding/event work or commercial work. Sales folks might have industry specific templates or templates based on different selling systems.

This would be sort of an open source type repository.

Excellent, Scott. I think Marketcircle should take an active part as it seems that only photographers and lawyers are the only ones who exchange experiences. I manufacture six or so products, but have no takers.
Daylite is the best application (along with DevonThink Pro) that I've come across but it is not the easiest thing to learn how to use. Along with having a very steep learning curve its use is so customizable that very few of us get a reasonable use of its capabilities. From the questions I've seen posted in the past two years most Dayliters are as lost as I am. Albeit, the application is so good that I keep on keeping on.
Think about it AJ: this would be to your benefit as much as ours.
All the best
