Tips to get the most out of Work Buddy
Do This
- Include email addresses when you have them - they're the most reliable identifier
- Mention the services or products they're interested in
- Add context like where you met them or how they found you
- Use voice notes when you're on the go - it's faster!
- Update status regularly to keep your workflow accurate
Avoid This
- Don't send just a phone number with no context
- Don't use abbreviations that AI might misinterpret
- Don't forget to confirm entries before they're saved
- Don't share sensitive data like passwords or financial info
- Don't send blurry or low-quality images of business cards
