Capture information with a purpose
Record information that supports the customer conversation and the next action. Use consistent field names and avoid copying unnecessary personal details into free-text notes.
Check before creating a duplicate
Search for an existing record before adding a new enquiry for the same person. If a duplicate is found, use your team’s approved process to review it rather than removing context casually.
Review the basics regularly
Set aside time to check ownership, unclear stages and overdue next steps. Consistent records make it easier for the team to collaborate and give reporting a clearer foundation.
