# CRM Migration Solution

## Problem
We created a custom User model (`crm.User`) but the database already has data using Django's default User model. This creates a conflict.

## Solution Options

### Option A: Keep Existing User Model (RECOMMENDED)
Instead of replacing Django's User model, we'll create a UserProfile model that extends it.

**Advantages:**
- No data loss
- Works with existing system
- Easier migration
- Less risky

**Changes needed:**
1. Remove custom User model
2. Create UserProfile model linked to Django User
3. Update all foreign keys to use Django User
4. Keep all CRM functionality

### Option B: Fresh Start with Custom User
Reset database and start fresh with custom User model.

**Advantages:**
- Cleaner architecture
- Custom user from start

**Disadvantages:**
- Lose all existing data
- Need to re-enter everything

## Recommended Approach: Option A

Let me implement Option A which keeps your existing data and adds CRM functionality.
