Define Your Classifications
Classifications are the kinds of relationships you have with people
from the time you first hear about them until they become a client.
Examples include:
• Lead: Not acquainted, acquired contact info by referral or some other method
• Qualified Lead: Determined to be a good “fit”
• Prospect: Not yet a client, building a relationship
• Client: With an opportunity or life event on the horizon
• Center of Influence: Not necessarily a client, but a potential or existing referral source
• Affiliated Professional: Tax attorney, divorce attorney, insurance agent, etc.

Segmenting Your Clients – Qualitative Criteria
In no particular order:
• How big (AUM, Revenue, etc) is the client?
• What AUM/Revenue/Referral/COI potential does the client have?
• How profitable is the client?
• Has the client referred business?
• Is the client willing to refer business?
• Is the client a center of influence (COI)?
• Is the client a business owner?
• Is the client part of my ideal target market?
• Is the client reasonable?
• Do I like working with the client?
• On a scale of 1-10, how close is the client to my picture of a "perfect" client?
Of course, the above criteria can be individual weighted for the purpose of formulating a scoring system.

Managing Your Sales Process on Redtail
Terminology and language really matter. Identify and define your terms and make sure everyone is in agreement.
Balance optimism and realism in your opportunity forecasting.
You can’t monitor what you don’t measure. Accurate data is important, but only to the extent that it serves management review and decision-making.
