The "Blurry" Network

You meet someone at a conference. Are they a lead? A mentor? A drinking buddy? In the freelance world, lines blur. But in your database, lines must be sharp.

The Risk of Mixing

If you mix your personal contacts with your business CRM, you risk: 1. Sending a formal invoice to your grandma. 2. sending a "Happy Birthday, Bro!" text to your corporate CEO.

Segmentation in SparkyMinis

1. The "Business" Contact

Navigate to: `/dashboard/business/contacts`.

Fields: VAT Number, Currency, Payment Terms.

Purpose: These are transactional relationships. You need to know if they owe you money.

2. The "Lifestyle" Friend

Navigate to: `/dashboard/lifestyle/friends`.

Fields: Birthday, Gift Ideas, "How we met".

Purpose: These are emotional relationships. You want to remember their kids' names, not their tax ID.

3. The "Mixed" Strategy

What if a friend becomes a client?

Create a Duplicate: Yes, do it.

Create a Business Profile for them to handle the invoicing.

Keep their Friend Profile for the personal stuff.

This "Church and State" separation keeps your professional inputs clean and your personal life authentic.
