Enquiry follow-up register format in Excel
One list for every enquiry, with one salesperson and one next follow-up date. A missed follow-up turns red.
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
- Enter every enquiry the moment it comes, whatever the source: call, WhatsApp, portal, reference, walk-in.
- Give it one salesperson. Reply within the hour, with a name and a time.
- End every contact with a date in "Next follow-up". "Call after Diwali" goes in as a date.
- Each salesperson starts the day with a filter on their own name and follow-ups up to today.
- After the last attempt, mark it "Lost" with a reason. Read the reasons together on Friday.
