Steps to Create a New Project

  2. Select Project from the dropdown to open a new contact card on the right side of your screen.

Project Name and Information

Upon clicking the plus arrow, you'll encounter a form where you can input project details. Follow these steps.

  1. Ensure the project name reflects the individual or entity, especially for residential projects.

  2. Project numbers are automatically generated and cannot be changed as they are crucial for business reporting.

  4. Choose Lead under Status, unless there’s a status that better fits this project.

Assigning Pipelines and Stages

Pipelines represent different processes in your business, while stages represent sections of that process. For instance, you might have a sales pipeline with a stage for new leads. Be sure to choose the right pipeline and stage for your project! Otherwise, you might send the wrong message at the wrong time.

  1. Choose the pipeline you want the new project to go through.

  2. Select the stage within the chosen pipeline you want the project to start with.

  3. Assign the project to one of your team members.

Adding Contact Information

  2. Choose the contact type. If you’re creating a project, it’s almost always a customer.

  3. Set the lead source to show how the contact found out about your services.

  4. Click Spouse or Adjuster to add another contact to the project. This will open more text fields where you can enter their contact information.

Additional Information

  1. Select the project category, either Residential or Commercial.

  2. Select the project type, either Retail or Insurance.
