The Dubsado projects dashboard is your client hub.

You can create a customize  status for each step in working with you. Dubsado divides them into Leads and Jobs.

Giving you a clear overview of where in the service process your clients are.

Custom Mapped Fields for both Clients and Projects

Custom Mapped fields in Dubado allows you to capture data on a Client or Project. This data can be used for internal tracking OR as smart fields in emails and forms sent via Dubsado.

Create short text fields or date field for your data and either enter in manually on your client project or capture the data via question mapping on a client facing form. Your client's responses are mapped to the custom mapped fields when the fill out the form!

are all options on automating the entry point for your future clients.

Need to pre-qualify them before they get time on your calendar - then start with a lead form entry point.

Close all your clients with a 1:1 zoom meeting - them have them Schedule that appointment and fill out a lead capture to give you a headstart on the Discovery Call.

Workflows

Workflows allow you to setup up repeatable processes for each phase of your client journey (and for each service you offer if that process varies).

You can automate as much of the process as you like. Have steps in the workflow trigger based on your client taking action - like scheduling an appointment, completeing a form or paying and invoice. 

Dubsado's automation triggers are pretty magical - allowing it to do the work for you (might not need that VA after all) for each and every client.
Need to send something extra for a client - no problem you can create email templates and forms for whatever need you might have and send those as needed via your client's project. 

Automate as much of the process as you like.

✨ Other CRMs to Consider ✨

Because Dubsado and Honeybook are so close in feature sets (and trials are free) you should definitely run both tools through some testing to see which tool fits your needs best and which to LIKE using. Because… let’s face it, if you don’t like the look and feel of a tool  – you likely won’t be jazzed about using it daily! 

Honebook’s features are very similar but their is no custom field personalization for email templates (example no referring to child or pet name in an email sent to your client). If this feature is a must have for your biz – Dubsado is your TRUE love CRM.

However if your process is a bit more flexible Honeybook might be a contendor for your efficiency heart as it’s form design is supported by layout blocks that you can mix and match to make designing Honeybook smart files (multi-page & purpose forms) dead simple (even for the design challenged!) and super FAST!!
