Next Contact - Planning follow-up communication is important, so use this column to record the date for the next contact and use the Next Action column to enter a code that describes what your follow-up action will be. Use the Settings worksheet to customize the number of days that are used for the basis for when the cell should be green/yellow/pink. The highlighting will make the cell green if the contact was recent, pink if it has been a long time since that last contact, or yellow for somewhere in between. Last Contact - When you make a contact, you record the date in the Last Contact field. For potential customers, this could be your estimate of the customer's potential monthly or annual sales. Information that may be nice to know what not necessary to refer to on a day-to-day basis could be saved in the optional Contact Details worksheet (which is just the contact list added to this workbook).Įstimated Sale - For active customers, this might be the average monthly or annual sales figure - something to help you easily see the value of keeping that customer.
