You can also add new prospects using the tools in my e-Office.

You can export your prospects as an Excel table or as Outlook contacts. Click Export contacts to Excel. In the file download window, click Save. After you have selected a location, click Save. Open the file you saved to see your list of prospects in Excel. Use the same steps with the Export contacts to Outlook button.
You can also import Outlook contacts as prospects. Press the Import Outlook contacts button. In the new window, click Browse to select a .csv file and then submit it. You can import another list or click Back to go to the My Prospects page.
Each contact has three options at the right of the list: Edit, History and Delete. Clicking the Edit link will take you to a page similar to the Add prospects page. Make your changes, then click on Submit to save. Use the Delete link to erase a prospect. Every prospect has a history where you can detail all the interactions relative to the client. Click on the History link. You will be taken to a form where you can select the date and the time of the event from the drop-down menus.
