Keep a Buyer
        Contact Log

It is critical to keep track of your last conversation with the buyer.
Put all communication in the log, even e-mails and voice mails.
Set aside an entire page per buyer or use a word processing or
spreadsheet program on your computer so you have plenty of
space. Keep meticulous notes, because you may begin to forget
details as you begin to speak with lots of buyers.

Start some blank pages set up like the following:
