Building a useful customer communication history
A communication history should help the next person understand commitments, not preserve every unnecessary detail.
A practical approach
Record the date, channel, main topic and agreed action. Keep opinions and sensitive unrelated information out of routine notes. Link the relevant document when the conversation changes the project. Review the latest history before contacting the homeowner so your message reflects what they were already told.
Put it into practice
- Record the topic and commitment
- Avoid unnecessary private detail
- Review before contacting again
