About this template

A CRM nobody trusts is one nobody uses. This sprint fixes it in two weeks: merge the duplicates, close or delete the dead leads, put every contact in a stage with an owner and a next action.

Tips from the template

  • Do it in the order given; duplicates first or you clean the same person twice.
  • Set a rule for "dead" (no reply in six months) and apply it without sentiment.
  • Nothing leaves the sprint without an owner and a next action.
