Querying is stressful enough without juggling dozens of notes, tabs, and reminders.
My Query Tracker Spreadsheet pulls it all into one place: your top prospects, your current stages, and which queries are ready for closure, all updated automatically.
Good luck out there my friends

Not all agents are equal
My Query Tracker Spreadsheet ranks agents using 3 custom ratings
⭐ Deals – How active they are in making sales
⭐ Genre – How well their track record fits yours
⭐ Vibe – Your personal preference
The average score shows you who to prioritize and why

One of the fastest ways to get an auto-reject is querying more than one agent at the same agency.
The Tracker Spreadsheet helps you avoid this mistake automatically by flagging agents at same agency.

No matter how organized you are the query trenches are chaotic but this will help you organize some of the mess
The Tracker Spreadsheet has a built-in stage menu so you always know where you are in the process, plus it automatically flags queries that have timed out at 8 weeks with no response.

Stole the concept from atomic habits. Find something that u can use as a physical counter. 🫘 were easiest for me
Every time I make a revision I move a 🫘
