Keep the next action and its context with the lead so the team can follow up consistently.
Steps
Open the lead in Lead Details.
Use Tasks for work that needs an owner or due date, and Notes for internal context.
Enter a clear task or note, choose the responsible person and due date/reminder where offered, then save.
Review Activity for the lead's history and check the saved task state after changes.
A reminder is not a client message
Review who will receive a reminder before enabling it. A task assignment or internal note is not the same as sending a sales email to the client. Use the message/campaign tools when you intend to contact them.
Reassign deliberately
When work moves to another team member, update its owner and check the due date. Notes and files intended for internal use are separate from documents or messages shared with a client.
