CEO CRM Hygiene Process for Multi Location Companies

CRM hygiene process for executive assistants supporting a CEO in multi-location companies

Resolve duplicates without erasing local history

A multi-location CRM may hold separate records for one global procurement officer because regional teams met the contact independently. The assistant can flag the likely match and gather the source records, but the CRM administrator should decide how to link or merge them. The goal is to preserve useful regional activity while giving the CEO a coherent view of the corporate relationship.

Before changing a record, check whether another workflow depends on its identifier or ownership. A quick merge can make past activity harder to find or assign future follow-up to the wrong region. After the administrator resolves the match, tell the relevant relationship owners where new activity belongs.

The executive brief should use the governed record rather than a separate contact list that will drift out of date.
