Log every potential partner — company, foundation, community group — with the ask, the contact path and the next step dated on the entry.
Quick answer
Use it the moment a promising contact appears — company, foundation or community group — logging the fit, the ask, the agreed contact path and a dated next step, so partnerships become a queue with owners instead of a pile of business cards.
Partnerships are won in the follow-up, and follow-ups die in notebooks. This intake logs every promising contact the moment it happens — who they are, what fit looks like, how they said we could reach them — so your pipeline is a dated queue with owners, not a pile of business cards. Warm leads age in weeks; the calendar is the discipline.
