FOR AGENCIES
An agency needs more than a place to store contacts. The person selling the work and the person delivering it need a shared understanding of scope, ownership and billing. Separate your own acquisition process from the tools used to deliver services to clients.
Follow one client from proposal to delivery.
Count selling seats separately from delivery seats.
Keep the specialist tools that still serve a necessary purpose.

Can you identify the client and their next action?
Can both sides find the agreed deliverables?
Does each task have an owner and due date?
Can you see what the client has accepted?
