What the file looks like

The heading row and the five example rows, as they open in Excel. Under them the file has empty rows that are ready: the lists, the formulas and the colours are already set.

How to keep it

  1. Enter every enquiry the moment it comes, whatever the source: call, WhatsApp, portal, reference, walk-in.
  2. Give it one salesperson. Reply within the hour, with a name and a time.
  3. End every contact with a date in "Next follow-up". "Call after Diwali" goes in as a date.
  4. Each salesperson starts the day with a filter on their own name and follow-ups up to today.
  5. After the last attempt, mark it "Lost" with a reason. Read the reasons together on Friday.

The guide behind this format

Why enquiries go cold, and a follow-up routine your team can keep

Six places where enquiries and leads get lost, an enquiry list with eight columns, and a seven-step follow-up routine that any sales team can keep up.

When the sheet stops being enough

A sheet works while one or two people keep it. When staff must update from the godown or the road, and reminders must go out by themselves, the same columns become a system. Try it in your browser, without a sign-up.

Enquiry Follow-up

Sales & Enquiries

Enquiries from calls, WhatsApp, IndiaMART and your website in one list. Each salesperson sees who to call today, and you see what was missed.

Questions
Is this enquiry follow-up register format free?+

Yes. The download starts at once: no form, no email and no sign-up. Use it and change it for your own business.

Does the file have macros?+

No. It is a plain .xlsx file with dropdown lists, a few formulas and colour rules. There is nothing to install and nothing to switch on.

Why do the example rows show dates around today?+

The five example rows carry dates that move with today, so a file opened next month still shows how a late row looks. Type over the examples or delete them before you start.

Which program do I need to open it?+

It was made for Microsoft Excel on a computer and checked there. Other spreadsheet programs open .xlsx files too, but we have not checked the dropdown lists and the colours in each of them.

Can I change the columns?+

Yes. Rename a column, add your own, or change the choices of a dropdown list (Data, then Data Validation). The "How to use" sheet says what each column is for.
