The hidden cost of tracking customers informally
In many small and mid-sized Bangladeshi businesses, customer relationships live in a salesperson's phone contacts, a notebook, or their memory. This works until that salesperson is busy, sick, or leaves the company — at which point the business loses the relationship history along with them. There's no way to see which leads are being followed up on, which have gone cold, or what was promised to a specific customer last time they called.
