A small diaspora business does not need a complicated sales platform to benefit from customer relationship management. The goal is simply to remember who each person is, what they need and what should happen next.
Capture the minimum useful information
Name, contact details, interest, source, last conversation and next action can already create much better follow-up than scattered messages.
Use stages that match the real customer journey
A few clear stages such as new inquiry, contacted, qualified, proposal, won and lost are easier to maintain than dozens of labels.
Give every active lead a next action
The CRM becomes useful when it answers who needs follow-up today, not when it merely stores old contact information.
Review stale records regularly
Close, archive or re-engage leads that have gone quiet so the working list reflects real opportunities.
