Customer enquiry guide

A CRM is useful only when it improves follow-up.

For many new businesses, a disciplined tracker is better than an expensive system nobody maintains.

Start simple

A basic lead tracker can record the customer, source, need, owner, status, next action and expected value. This is enough while enquiry volume is manageable.

Upgrade when the process is stable

Move to a CRM when you already know your stages and responsibilities. Otherwise, the system may only digitise an unclear process.
