When is the last time you talked to your customer? What was it about? What might they be interested in next? How many deals are hanging in the pipeline and what stage are they in? How can you predict a reasonable revenue stream if you don't know these things? Moreover, how can you be proactive in meeting your clients needs before your competition does?

The best way to ensure that your customers do not fall through the cracks and you miss out on opportunities is to keep track of your contacts and the information you gather. Of course, that is just common sense, but so many companies fail to put the effort into implementing the process to capture the information that it always remains a 'wish I had'. Instead, companies rely on the memories of their sales people.

Also, how do you track your pipeline? Do you know what level of confidence a particular deal is? Do you know what stage in the sales process it is or how long it has been there? All of these factors play a vital role in forecasting your revenue and making proper, strategic and tactical decisions. Don't let these things be a matter of chance.
