Filling in Contacts
When creating new contacts you need to fill in their details. Daylite has all the things you'd expect like a photo, name, phone number email etc however there are a few fields you might not be familiar with:
| Categories: | Categories can be used for top-level sorting and filtering. Each contact can only have one Category and should be used to classify your contacts as their primary segment. Create your own categories in Daylite Preferences Some examples of keywords could be: - Lead - Customer - Employee - Vendor |
| Keywords: | Keywords are a more flexible way to classify your contacts. As a contact can have an unlimited number of Keywords they can be used in as many different ways as you want. Create your own Keywords in Daylite Preferences or on the fly when editing a contact. Some examples of ways you can use Keywords: - Lead Temperature (hot, warm, cold) - Trade Show Attendances - Newsletter participation - Services they've purchased |
| Roles & Relationships: | When two people or two companies are linked together, they are connected by a relationship, and when people are linked to companies, projects, or opportunities, they are connected by a role. You can add Roles & Relationships in Daylite Preferences. Examples of Roles: - Sales Manager - Business Owner - Agent Examples of Relationships - Spouse of - Referred & Referred by - Business Partner of |
