    Keep enquiries in one place instead of remembering every conversation.

    One enquiry, one reference

    Assign a permanent ID and record the request. A new request from the same customer gets a new ID.

  3. Action card paired with a calendar

    Choose an action and a date

    Write something specific, such as sending a revised quote. Set when you will do or review it.

  4. Incomplete record being completed with a check mark

    Fix missing details first

  5. Two fictional follow-up cards highlighted for review

    Review what is due

    Check overdue and due-today actions against the original conversation before contacting anyone.

  6. Active and closed enquiry cards

    Update or close the enquiry

    Set a new plan or close it. Respect a request to stop contact, even if an old date remains.
