Once you begin your prospecting efforts, it's important to keep track of the actions you have taken by marking activities done. You can also record the details from any conversations you have had, and schedule a follow-up call so you can ensure regular communication with the prospect continues.
Tip:
Any notes you have recorded, prospecting activities you have marked done,
and follow-up calls you have scheduled appear on the Prospect
Activity Report. For more information on generating this report,

a Prospect Report".
