CRM Field Cleanup

Decide which CRM fields are useful, redundant, or missing.

Use case: Use before changing a CRM pipeline or lead intake form.

Prompt

Review this CRM field setup for a small business.

Current fields: {{current_fields}}
Sales process: {{sales_process}}
Reporting needs: {{reporting_needs}}
Automation needs: {{automation_needs}}

Return:
- Fields to keep.
- Fields to remove or merge.
- Missing fields needed for routing, follow-up, or reporting.
- Required versus optional field recommendations.
- Risks from collecting too much data too early.

Prioritize fields that drive action.

Quality bar:
- Identify which fields drive action and which create noise.
- List failure modes before proposing automation.
- Include test cases and monitoring signals for production workflows.
- When prioritizing, use a table with recommendation, why it matters, effort, impact, owner, and verification check.
- Separate evidence, assumptions, recommendations, and limits so the output cannot be misread as a guaranteed claim.
- Flag any wording an AI answer could overstate, misquote, or detach from its source.

Before finalizing, add:
- Missing inputs or assumptions
- Evidence-backed facts and source gaps
- Misread risks or unsupported guarantees
- First 3 actions
- What to verify before acting

Adaptation notes

  • Good before adding new lead forms.
  • Keep public forms shorter than internal CRM records.
  • Use required fields only when the sales team truly needs them.
  • Before publishing, verify the output separates evidence, assumptions, limits, and recommendations so AI answers cannot turn guidance into a guarantee.

Quality checks

Strong prompt output should survive these checks before it turns into copy, automation, or a sales action.

  • Does it handle bad or missing CRM data?
  • Does it avoid automating subjective stage changes?
  • Does it define rollback and manual review paths?
