Figuring out who to follow up with next just got a whole lot easier with Contact Indicators. Another fine add-on from Atcore Systems, this addition brings an easy to view last-contacted indicator to the list and detail views of Leads, Contact, and Accounts.

To match that desire, I configure the add-on to show a green icon for the Contacts module if I have reached out within the past 30 days, a yellow icon if within 60 days, and red if over 60 days. Now when I search for all my contacts I can see who I have contacted and how recently.
