Default Forcing user to provide last name for new contacts

In our company, staff sometimes lists clients with only their first
names in Outlook contacts.
But we need first AND last names listed for subsequent e-mail contact
by the sales group.
Is there a way to force users to fill in a contact's last name before
Outlook will save that contact?
Or at least remind/encourage/reward them?
(Unfortunately, there is no server.)

Yes. Do it at your weekly sales meetings. You can tell who created a new
Contact BTW - that may help provide some focus for them.

I hope this helps you at least a little bit!
