Contact Categories
Organize your contacts using circles and priorities.
Circle Categories
The Circle field helps you categorize contacts based on your relationship with them:
| Circle | Color | Use For |
|---|---|---|
| Family | 🟢 Green | Relatives, close family members |
| Friends | 🔵 Blue | Personal friends, social connections |
| Work | 🟡 Yellow | Colleagues, professional contacts |
| Sport | 🔴 Red | Gym buddies, sports team members |
| Neighbors | ⚪ Gray | People from your neighborhood |
| Other | ⚪ Gray | Anyone who doesn't fit above categories |
Why Use Circles?
Circles help you:
- Filter your list - View only friends, or only work contacts
- Prioritize follow-ups - Focus on specific groups
- Track progress - See how you're doing with each circle
Priority System
Use Priority (1-10) to rank how important a contact is:
| Priority | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 1-3 | High priority - Follow up first |
| 4-6 | Medium priority - Regular follow-ups |
| 7-10 | Lower priority - Eventually contact |
Tips for Setting Priorities
- High priority: People who showed strong interest
- Medium priority: Warm contacts, need nurturing
- Low priority: Cold contacts, long-term prospects
Presentation Status
The Presentation toggle indicates whether the contact has seen your presentation:
- ✅ Yes - They've seen the presentation
- ❌ No - Not yet presented to
This helps you track who still needs to be shown the opportunity.
