Agency operations guide

CRM data is only helpful when people can trust it. Clear field rules and small regular cleanup habits are easier to maintain than occasional large data projects.

Start with the reader’s real question

Standardize phone and address formats, use consistent coverage labels, identify duplicate rules, and record the source of an inquiry. Limit free-text notes to relevant service context.

Build a process your agency can maintain

Keep access limited to people who need it. Establish a retention policy and avoid placing account credentials, payment details, or unnecessary sensitive information in general notes.

Put the guidance into practice

Pick one high-impact field with inconsistent values and agree on a controlled list. Clean current records in batches and update forms to prevent the same issue returning.
