- Keep information current - Update email/phone when you learn new details
- Use notes effectively - Record how you know the guest, event attended, etc.
- Don't delete unnecessarily - Soft delete preserves records, but hidden guests can't easily be found
- Merge when appropriate - Link guests to members to consolidate history
