CRM Best Practices

Keep your database clean, current, and active so it actually drives business.

Hygiene

  • Tag every contact within 24 hours of entry.
  • Update phone, email, and notes after every interaction.
  • Run quarterly cleanups — remove duplicates and dead emails.

Action Plans

Every new lead should drop into a workflow automatically. Buyer leads, seller leads, sphere, past clients, and vendors each get different cadences.

Daily CRM Routine

  • Morning: review today's tasks and overdue follow-ups.
  • Throughout day: log every conversation immediately.
  • End of day: tomorrow's prep and add new contacts.

Action Items

  1. Schedule a quarterly CRM cleanup.
  2. Build at least 3 action plans this week.
