Heads Up! If you see features in this article that aren’t in your account, this article may be what you're looking for instead.
Firms onboard new clients every day. Information such as owners, Individual/Business, roles, tags, etc. can often be the same for certain clients or client types. It is tedious to enter information each time you create a new client.
To make managing clients easier for your firm, start by figuring out who your ideal clients or client groups are. Think about plastic surgeons, small businesses, and others that fit the bill. Once you have that sorted, you can create a client record template that includes tags, custom fields, and assigned roles. This template makes it a breeze to create new client records, saving you from doing the same thing over and over.
And guess what? You can also use these templates in bulk! That means you can update multiple client records all at once, without extra hassle. Say goodbye to unnecessary busy work! By taking advantage of these features, you'll boost productivity and have more time to focus on more important items in your firm.
