Hi,

I am looking for a way to track prospective customers’ contract dates with our competitors. What would be the best way to do this?

Best,

Rob

Hi @RKendall5,

This sounds like it would be a custom date property on the company object: [Create and edit properties](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/crm-setup/manage-your-properties)

This would allow you to create lists of companies where this date is less than X days from now.

You can also pin notes to company records for more added context: [Pin an activity on a record](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/contacts/pin-a-note-in-a-record)

This’ll save you more of the scarce custom property slots in the free CRM.

Best regards!
