Finding your way around the CRM

download Download PDF

The CRM has one menu down the left-hand side, in the order most people work: what needs doing, who you are working, and what you expect to win.

The main list

Menu entryWhat you use it for
DashboardThe morning view: pipeline value, what is due today, what is overdue.
Active LeadsThe people currently being worked. The shortest list a rep needs.
ContactsEvery contact, filtered and sorted however you like.
CompaniesThe businesses those contacts work for.
EnquiriesWhat arrived from your website and forms, waiting to be worked.
TasksEverything anyone has to do, with dates and owners.
CalendarMeetings and callbacks, as a calendar rather than a list.
OpportunitiesThe deals in play, and what they are worth.
Call ListsStructured outbound calling — a queue to work through.

Reports

Activity Report is how much work is actually being done: calls made, emails sent, meetings held, per person, over a period you choose.

Tools

Merge Contacts finds people who have been entered twice and joins them back into one record. It appears in a tribe, because duplicates are almost always created inside one tribe.

Settings

EntryWhat it holds
CRM SettingsEverything the CRM is configured with: stages, statuses, lead sources, fields, and the rest.
Team MembersWho appears in the CRM for assignment, and the mailboxes linked to this tribe.
THE MENU IS SHORTER AT ORGANISATION LEVEL
Merge Contacts and Team Members are tribe screens — they act on one tribe's data and one tribe's people. Everything else appears in both places.

Getting back to where you were

The breadcrumb across the top names the record you are on, so a deep link into a contact still tells you which company and which list you came through. Return To Tribe at the top of the menu takes you back out of the CRM altogether.
