Household tags help you categorize and filter clients and prospects. Tags are managed at the company level and apply across all books.

What are household tags?

Tags are labels you apply to client and prospect records. Unlike service tiers (which indicate A/B/C/D service levels), tags are flexible categories for any grouping you need:
  • Demographics — Retiree, Business owner, Young family
  • Services — Financial planning client, Tax client, Insurance only
  • Status — Review due, Needs attention, VIP
  • Source — Referral, Seminar attendee, Website lead

Use tiers for service levels. Use tags for everything else.

Best practices

  • Use clear, consistent names. “Annual review due” is better than “AR.”
  • Review tag usage periodically. Delete unused tags and merge similar ones.
  • Avoid over-tagging. Each tag should serve a purpose. If no one filters by it, consider removing it.
