Best practices for suppliers using Coordinate & Team

A few simple habits turn Coordinate into a high-signal pipeline hub.

• Define the dictionary: what hot/warm/cold means and when a stage changes.

• Own the next step: every note ends with who/what/when.

• One source of truth: Coordinate is the master; exports are for sharing, not editing.

• Field discipline: (Admin) add only the custom fields you’ll actually filter by.

• Cadence beats chaos: weekly board review; monthly cleanup of stale items.

Steps

1. Publish a one-pager: stages, priorities, note template.

2. Add core custom fields: budget, deadline, goal, region, owner.

3. Set saved filters for reviews (Owner=Me; Stage=Pending).

Tips

• Pin a “How we use Coordinate” note at the top of the board.

• Keep files small and named consistently (Client_Event_YYYYMM_v1.pdf).

• Use Trends to validate whether an event deserves “hot” priority.
