Sheet Names & Purpose

• 1. Client Database: Central repository for all client information including contact details, service agreements, status, and history.
• 2. Client Interactions Log: Timeline of all communications with clients (emails, calls, meetings), assigned team members, and outcomes.
• 3. Project & Task Tracker: Breakdown of ongoing client projects with assigned tasks, deadlines, responsible team members, and progress status.
• 4. Dashboard Summary: Real-time performance overview including client count by status, project completion rate, overdue tasks, and team workload.
• 5. Team Assignments & Roles: Defines who on the team is responsible for which clients or projects with role-based access and responsibilities.

Table Structures and Columns (Client Database - Primary Sheet)

The Client Database sheet contains a structured table with the following columns and data types:

Formulas Required

• Auto-generated Client ID:
  =CONCATENATE("CLT-", YEAR(TODAY()), "-", TEXT(ROW()-1,"000"))
  (Adjusts for row position; assumes data starts at Row 2).
• Next Follow-Up Date:
  =IF(ISBLANK([@Last Contact Date]), TODAY()+30, [@Last Contact Date]+30)
• Total Projects (Client Database):
  =COUNTIF(ProjectTracker[Client ID], [@ID]) (Assuming Project Tracker has a column named Client ID).
• Status Color Indicators: Use conditional formatting with formulas like: =[@Status] = "Active" → Green =[@Status] = "Lost" → Red

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance visual management of data and prioritize actions, the following conditional formatting rules are applied:

• Overdue Follow-ups: If Last Contact Date is more than 30 days old and Status is not "Inactive", highlight row in yellow.
• Pending Renewals: If Status = "Renewal Pending" and current date is past the renewal deadline, apply red background.
• Active Clients: Green highlight for all clients with status = "Active".
• Potential Churn Risk: If no contact in last 90 days and status ≠ Inactive → pink highlight.

User Instructions (Team Use Guide)

1. Access & Permissions: Share via Excel Online or SharePoint. Assign edit access to team members, ensuring read-only for others unless needed.
2. Add New Clients: Click on the first blank row in the Client Database. Enter details manually or use a form (if enabled). The Client ID will auto-generate.
3. Update Interactions: Use the Client Interactions Log sheet to record every call, email, or meeting. Assign team member using drop-down.
4. Track Projects: Populate the Project & Task Tracker. Link each task to a client via Client ID. Update status (Not Started / In Progress / On Hold / Completed).
5. Daily Review: Team members should review the Dashboard Summary daily to check overdue tasks and follow-ups.
6. Data Integrity: Avoid manual editing of formulas. Use dropdowns for status and sector fields to ensure consistency.
