Exclude current customers from a Zoho CRM prospect list

The Zoho CRM AI Assistant builds a prospect list that leaves out contacts at accounts with a Closed Won deal, or another rule you give, and shows how many it excluded. Once you approve, it tags the list or saves it as a custom view.

Zoho CRM AI Assistant is a Chrome extension that opens beside Zoho CRM. Tell it what you want to do in plain language, and it works with your CRM for you. Try Plus free for 14 days, then stay on Free forever.

the problem

The prospect offer reaches people who already pay you

A launch offer for new customers goes to the whole contact list, including the account you closed last month. Taking customers out means checking each contact’s account for a won deal, and the contact export does not have that column.

the solution

Say who counts as a customer, see who is excluded

Describe the list and the rule for leaving people out:

Contacts in the UK for the new-customer offer. Leave out anyone whose account has a Closed Won deal in the last two years. Show how many you excluded and a few examples.

The assistant reads the contacts, their accounts and the Deals on those accounts. It shows how many contacts it kept and how many it excluded, with examples of each and the reason: the account, and the won deal it found.

You can use another rule instead, such as Account Type is Customer. When you approve, it adds a tag to the kept contacts, or saves them as a public custom view if the rule fits a view’s filters. It says when the rule does not fit one.

  • Reads contacts, accounts and deals.
  • Adds a tag or creates a custom view only after you approve.
  • A customer whose won deal sits on a different account, or was never recorded as a deal, stays on the list.

Frequently Asked Questions

It adds one tag to the kept contacts, or creates one public custom view, after you approve. Deals, accounts and contact fields are not edited. It tags up to 100 contacts per approval, so a longer list goes in batches, and tagging more than 20 at once asks for a final confirmation.
