Tools
Dubsado My first business coach, Theresa, introduced me to the idea of using Client-Relationship-Management (CRM) software to help run my business. We worked together to get it all set up and running smoothly. I was hesitant at first, because I didn't want it to feel too robotic or inauthentic, from my clients' perspective. However, one morning, my mind was made up and I became a fan of Dubsado for life!... I was in the shower, getting ready for the day and already my mind was going in a thousand different directions. I was trying to remember who I had to get back to and scheming about what my next marketing ploy would be. I got out of the shower, got dressed, and headed downstairs for my morning coffee.
Ding! Ding! My email notifications went off. Low and behold, a new client had signed a contract while I was in the shower. By the time I was getting my socks on, my bookkeeper received an email from me letting her know about the new client. And, by the time I had poured my morning coffee, the invoice had been sent and my new client had paid their first invoice!
